@EmilySteph2@_JC1971 Dancing half-naked in a fishnet isn't an immutable characteristic.
There's a denial of reality to pretend you don't understand how this would alienate voters who would otherwise vote for the very platform Zack is running on. The Right succeed because of branding strength.
@EmilySteph2@_JC1971 People wince at open sexuality, especially the largest voting demographic (over 55s). Fair or not, most sexual minorities standing for a seat in power work to ensure their image isn't defined by stereotypes.
@EmilySteph2@_JC1971 Politics is all about aesthetics, being conscious of your appeal, where your limits are, who to target. Why make it easier for the opposition to attack you? Run a photo of Zack dancing with a guy in a BDSM outfit, and next, people are screaming "protect the children".
@fcckthetories This was literally the House Against Hate music stage. He made a separate speech at the event where talked about the cost of living, lowering people’s bills, rent controls, nationalising water companies…
@_JC1971 Be much better to have people on stage talking about household bills, wage stagnation, the outsourcing of British industry, etc - and follow it up by offering left wing solutions.
@EmilySteph2@_JC1971 He’s just said he doesn’t have an issue himself, but doing things like this can just make the general public cringe and be turned away from the party, people want a serious party and I think OP is just pointing out that they’re not playing the game, this won’t get votes.
Just heard a mum say to another
"we're going on holiday next week, not a proper holiday, just Weymouth in a caravan, I can't afford more"
Isn't it sad that this has become not a holiday. When I was a kid you'd be thrilled at this! Plus her kids will probably love it so much
🚨#BREAKING: Watch as viral video captured in South London show squirrels vaping with discarded e-cigarettes, seemingly drawn in by the fruity scent after mistaking it for food.
The @FA Football Association wants to mandate that 1 in 4 football coaches come from a Black, Asian or other minority background.
As the saying in football goes, this is utter woke nonsense. The game’s gone.
Fans don’t care what the coach looks like. They just want the best person for the job, based on merit alone. That’s what gets results.
Not tokenism.
I’ve written to the FA urging a rethink. I’m happy to help them draw up a fairer policy.
Let’s kick racism out of football, including anti-white racism.
