LOUDER FOR THOSE AT THE BACK
4/5 Alastair Bonnett is a Northumbrian academic who has done some of the very best work on the history of whiteness as a concept in the British Empire. He's emphasised that not only 'Celts' but working class English were long seen as non-white.

I love these posts. Were they worth a million when you crammed Caribbean & Irish immigrants into them back in the day? No, they were dumps and now they’ve been improved you want them back? Cry harder
If you asked people on the street ‘should luxury flats worth at least a million be given out as social housing’, virtually 100% would say no

My democracy is Greek? Damn right it is...

Your car is German. Your pizza is Italian. Your democracy is Greek. Your coffee is Brazilian. Your movies American. Your shirt is Indian. Your electronic Chinese. Your numbers Arabic. Your letters are Latin. And you complain your neighbor is an immigrant! Pull yourself together.

As everyone watches the SpaceX IPO today, its worth remembering this advice from Buffett
"The idea that a newly issued security (IPO)—brought to market at a time of the seller's choosing and surrounded by massive hype—is the single best bargain among thousands of global businesses is absolute nonsense.
When an offering carries a ridiculous 7% commission just to incentivize salespeople, it simply cannot be the most attractive investment available.
While people easily get caught up in the excitement of a new launch, look at the reality: you have thousands of existing public companies whose prices are set by a natural auction market, free from aggressive promotion or hidden fees.
It makes no sense to buy a security precisely when an insider decides the timing is perfect to sell. Frankly, it isn't worth spending five seconds thinking about IPOs."
- Warren Buffett

To be loved like mamdani you have to actually do something about the dying nightlife in the UK not just get an intern to write witty tweets about it
Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums.
Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space.
It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

There you go lads, the Mayor who apparently has us under Sharia Law is backing the Gayberhood & Late Night drinking
Soho’s nightlife has always been legendary. It needs to be saved, not suppressed.

I’ve launched my e-petition asking the government to keep a national register of IDF fighters in the UK.
It has passed the initial stage and awaits full approval.
You should have the right to know if your school teacher or GP has returned from carrying out genocide overseas.

🆕My latest column for The Nerve has dropped:
“Over 2000 British Citizens have served in the IDF during the Gaza War. Our Government Doesn't Want To Know’”
It’s time the U.K. Government fulfilled legal obligations & investigated.
Please read and share.
