Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

I know. Sounds like you need a bit of socialism, though you'll never admit it.
I do need a bit of socialism. We all do. We have a mixed market economy in the UK, capitalism and socialism.

The public sector employs 18% of the UK's workforce and accounts for 44% of GDP.

FYI Reform policy is to nationalise critical infrastructure, e.g. energy and transport. So they also believe in socialism.

They like a bit of national socialism. Reform will solve none of the UKs problems. They'll only make them worse.

edit: I do agree with nationalising crucial infrastructure.
 
Luton racist.


Exactly.

You. Are. A. Racist.
Sorry but you are totally wrong here. Maybe you haven’t been on this forum for very long but @LutonSpurs is not a racist by any stretch. Far from it. Your attribution of him as a racist because he’s Muslim and from Luton and by association complicit in the racism you encountered (abhorrent as that was) is in itself racist.
Luton is a decent contributor to this forum who has posted many times about direct and unpleasant racist abuse he and his family have been subject to. He’s not a hypocrite and will call out any racism wherever it occurs. But in current times, despite being British, he and his family and friends are feeling unsafe and threatened by what is going on around us. That should never happen. What kind of country are we that British citizens feel in danger of abuse and even attack because of the way they look? That’s shocking. (Not saying that’s your view, I digressed in my post to generalities).

Spot on........
 
Can you share the link for that study? Genuinely interested as I believed recording of ethnicity was very sporadic in these (and other) cases.
The data is weak as cat tinkle, it also focuses in on one aspect of abuse which is clearly abhorrent but also washes over the fact that domestic/sexual violence, online, individual and day to day grooming is far more prevalent in White British males.

It's ok being concerned about Grooming gangs, we all are, but if you are calling stuff out, call it out in your own communities or stop with the actual of concern. The "more likely to" is a ridiculous way of saying people don't care what's happening in their own demographic as long as there is someone "more likely" to throw shade on..

Where was the uproar when the church recently refused to investigate its own when another of their members was uncovered to have systematically abused youngsters for decades? Maybe I missed that.

People using Telegraph data and headlines to put out statements and anger that mean hard working honest people are being given a hard time in life, Dr's getting abused and people born in this country being made the feel the don't belong here.

It's fudging shameful and something we once stood against as a nation.

Now people stand shoulder to shoulder with a career criminal like Tommy Robinson and don't sense any of Irony whatsoever
