@OBEhizele That is interesting and very curious.
No wonder I have spent so much time being confused as I have always thought of culture as multi layered and complex.
Not due to any text book definition but just through experiences and observation

I rarely even get involved in this discourse because people are often applying not only different understandings of social arrangements, but entirely different framings of what culture itself is. For some, culture means aesthetics alone (food, festivals, music etc.), not values.

As an aside, it's depressing to see people again conflating 'pluralism' with 'multiculturalism' (clue in name) when there is a big difference between migration and the state essentially being agnostic as to how they live and which cultural practices it will turn a blind eye to

Ahh....this is front of the Wetherspoons on High the Street. The demographic there is usually working class white British and Caribbean boomers.

@OBEhizele Good to see people still keeping up the old traditions.

That aside, I know one of the other new councillors, Ade, and I trust she will do a great job in that role. 👍🏿

A Green councillor who once branded David Lammy a ‘coconut’ has been handed a top job in Lewisham council’s new cabinet. Hau-Yu Tam was made cabinet member for “sanctuary and healing” last night.

Yeah, there have been dating apps like this for over 15 years. I know people who have met on such sites. Money destroys lots of relationships & some women v crass post breakup.
Also, dating apps specifically for people who voted Brexit & people who attended fee paying schools.

A social network app in London that only accepts people earning £50k+ is genuinely hilarious. The idea of treating £50k in London as some elite social threshold in 2026. And people are prepared to submit their payslip/NI to join?? Lool.

Styling £50k as elite aside. The end stage of this is Chinese style social credit for dating apps. eg
Announcing League
League is a dating app organised into divisions based on income, wealth, education looks, fitness, post date rating and a number of other factors including completing quests and sometimes fighting an opponent in hand to hand combat to move up a league.

@OBEhizele No idea if this adds up to a right wing or left wing stance 😆 But stripping citizenship feels really odd to me.
English
I don’t think the stripping of citizenship should be taken lightly. It ought to represent more than a bureaucratic identity. But, it’s also worth noting that the UK revoked the citizenship of Jack Letts, who was Anglo with a white British mother, over his involvement with ISIS.

tbh our britishness has been in limbo ever since the government decided they could rescind a teenagers citizenship because her grandparents were born in bangladesh. the idea that poc must be well behaved to maintain citizenship would always trickle down and impact all of us...
English
It's my 2nd day in Edinburgh and it has a kind of historic civic atmosphere that feels surprisingly familiar (or not) to older English urban environments (Bath, Canterbury). It's clearly Scotland but the “Scottishness” is subtler than I imagined. Also, not great pedestrian wise!

@DamiDina @serenelyjoyful I saw people talking about it on insta. Clockout app or something.

HM is the worst defensive signing in the history of Man U.
