“Stop making excuses: the UK is filled with racists who’ll happily vote Reform”

@[email protected]“Make no mistake: Great Britain has always been a far-right, racist circus; currently, that circus is gathering in the shape of Reform’s sweeping victories in the local elections. After all, let’s remember that Nigel Farage has not just waved a magic wand and tricked loads of people into voting for him. Instead, he’s piped his merry little tune to get racist white people happily skipping along behind him. If there is going to be any chance of resisting Reform’s fascism and racism, the left must accept it as such”

@thetimes“Abdul Wali Mamozai, a Muslim man, was murdered in Bracknell on 27 April, a few days before a mentally ill man wounded two Jewish people — and one Muslim man — in London.
When the latter attack took place, the media went into a frenzy. The Muslim victim was airbrushed out to a footnote at best. The government and ‘opposition’ condemned the ‘antisemitic’ attack, immediately announcing special measures and huge amounts of extra funding for security for the Jewish community.
They also deleted the Muslim victim”

"‘In Racism’s Echo Chamber‘ shows exactly how the government deliberately stripped #racist attacks of their #racial context. Instead, ministers reduced the violence to an issue of “mindless thuggery.’"

@georgetakei This is #institutionalracism . The rates of maternal and infant mortality are much higher for BIPOC women than white women. And way too high overall - higher than any other developed nation - but disproportionately so. It’s #eugenics .

By disallowing "disparate impact" as evidence of civil rights violation, the Trump administration will make success in attempts to dismantle institutional racism much more difficult to achieve.
This new rule, which I'm sure the Roberts court will uphold, is a massive blow to racial equality in the USA.

#Berlin has reported a marked increase in attacks on asylum seekers and refugee shelters, amid a sharp rise in far-right crime and a hardening of German migration policy.
Official figures provided at the request of two local Green party lawmakers showed there were 77 assaults on asylum seekers and #refugees in 2024 and eight instances of deliberate damage to residences housing them.
This compares with 32 targeted attacks on people and none on residences in 2023, one of the deputies, Ario Ebrahimpour Mirzaie, told the news agency dpa.
As a result of the assaults, 34 people needed treatment in hospital, according to the official data. These included 16 women, 14 men, two girls and two males whose age was not reported.
“The number of insults, threats and attacks against refugees has been worryingly high for years and it is outrageous that these conditions are accepted with a shrug by many politicians and members of the public,”
The Conservative leader, Friedrich Merz, who is due to be sworn in as chancellor on 6 May, campaigned on dramatically tightening border policy and bringing irregular immigration to a halt, after stricter measures already undertaken by the centre-left-led predecessor government.

“Leader of UK’s black police officers under investigation over tweet.” So white officer shoots unarmed black man. White officer gets promoted. Black officers leader makes not unreasonable comments about it and is placed under a misconduct investigation. The police have a lot to learn. #Police #Racism #InstitutionalRacism

Wonder who made the decision to defend.
?It's been suggested that "some people" inside the ABC and in conservative politics are deliberately trying to degrade and damage the ABC's reputation.
The decision to defend seems to have had that effect.
Let's hang all the #DirtyLaundry out in public.
