@linmeitalks If afrikaaners are European presumably so are white Americans? Do we not call them Americans anymore? Ditto Australia? Should only aboriginal / indigenous Australians represent Australia?
This sounds like an ultra woke argument from 2012! 😉🤣

THE CAME FROM EUROPE so white European South Africans are not native to South Africa 😂😂 they are Dutch, German, and French Huguenot settlers who established farming communities in the eastern Cape frontier of Southern Africa during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries - nothing native about them to that land - it’s in the word SETTLERS
One thing Europeans are going to do is claim they are from somewhere they are not Jesus Christ !!

@linmeitalks The Boer culture is native to SA it exist nowhere else. They have been there for 600 years longer than the Māoris have been in NZ and about the same length Africans have been in the Caribean

@moving_charlie Depends what the items are doesn’t it Chaz? Staff salary and office rent probably 2 of those items.

Behold: the most impressive abuse of an MP’s expense account that I’ve seen.
An average price of just under £2,000 PER ITEM.
Just me, or is this taking the piss out of tax payers?

This is an official government account in a democracy.
This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’.

@afneil You need to get out of London, Andrew. You’ve clearly got no idea how much people here are struggling. And, yes, a lot of it can be traced back to Margaret Thatcher.
English
Except that it purports to claim that the area (Makerfield) has been a victim of 40 years of Thatcherism (that’s what Burnham seems to be running against, which means he’s also running against the Blair-Brown government, of which he was a part). Yet the backdrop to his wandering shows rows of neat, well-kept, substantial semi-detached homes, with plenty new cars in the driveways and a vibrant high street, despite all the road works improving it. Oh yes and a state school so good he sent his kids to it. Put simply — the pictures clash with his words of victimhood and deprivation.

One of the most effective bits of political communication on the left I’ve seen in a long time. A message and a powerful messenger.

@AaronBastani Less than 2 mins in the constituency more than 2 mins in the centre of the city. I do wonder what - if any - effect this has on people in the farthest flung corner of Manchester (Wigan).
English
Burnham should just do a 6 hour kick livestream walking through Makerfield.
By-election wouldn’t be remotely close.

@jessicaelgot Its Extraordinary what hes done in Manchester, making the English a minority in their own city was quite a achievement.

Extraordinary launch video - never seen a by-election campaign which is such an explicit pitch to both the place and to the country

Reform can't believe their luck. Burnham had no strong message for the first 48hrs of his do-or-die Makerfield by-election and who filled the gap? A very cunning and leadership rival, Wes Streeting. By putting rejoin front and centre he has made winning a Leave-voting seat that little bit harder. I can't think where the now former Health Sec learnt such dark arts.
Tim Montgomerie 🇬🇧@montie
Thank you Phil! In the latest @notanother1pod @greenmiranda, @iainmartin1 and I focus on whether Labour might be about to embrace rejoining the EU. Iain said 'very possibly'. I insisted they wouldn't be that stupid. It turns out that Iain was right 😜 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/not… (@steverichards14 will be back for our recording on Tuesday).

An influencer is taking a charity that organises internships for black and minority ethnic people to court because they do not organise schemes for white people
It could have implications for the equality act

@BBCPolitics This just highlights the intellectually vacuity of these bargain basement politicians inflicted upon us. They have no political philosophy, no overarching theory, just reactionary bullshit to score points and shore up bases.

"There is something very specific happening to Jewish communities”
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch says she supports a moratorium on pro-Palestinian marches but not for the march led by far-right activist Tommy Robinson later this month

@Fiat__Justitia Civil war with what army(ies). Please hyperventilating on impossible futures is not healthy.
English
CORRECTION: The UK is heading toward civil war because the government is actively pushing the legal disenfranchisement of the indigenous people and facilitating and encouraging the Islamification of the UK.
