He started it
He accused me of all sorts
Palestinian babies and children it’s fair for them to be murdered and outrageous for people to protest about it.
He says I shouldn’t show compassion or kindness to people that don’t deserve it at least I’m consistent.
He’s a hypocrite he only cares when it’s the sort of children or babies he cares about
It makes me mad there’s so much injustice it’s all just horrid

What's going on at the Beeb?
Something about the satirical show Have I Got News for you and i-player being removed either temporarily or editing out something that was deemed inaccurate?

Sure it says something about the state of things that a show like that gets more scrutiny and repercussions over what they say than either the news or our politicians.

Is it that or is it a sensitive subject at the moment had they not researched it or something?

was just something about id cards and Blairs sons company Multiverse. fair enough it was incorrect but I'm not sure why a satirical show is being held to a higher standard than things like Politics Live and Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg. Neither of those would ever be on the air if that was the case!

Robert Jenrick complained about visiting an area of Birmingham where he “didn’t see another white face” and said it was not the kind of country he wanted to live in.

basically screwed. Minority govt coalition. No clear consensus for a parliamentary majority to sort out the economic mess or many of the other messes.

You're a smart chap. What do you think caused the alarming collapse of diversity in Handsworth that startled Robert so?

I don't think it is particularly shocking that many people have an issue with being replaced culturally.

The White British population of Birmingham has fallen by approximately 10% in as many years, and is now considerably less than 50%.

I don't understand why anyone would be celebrating that. It's odd.

Well I'm sure it's relatively easy to prove or disprove. Get the population statistics up and that'll tell us one way or the other?

I think Handsworth has had a huge migrant population since Windrush, so it's odd that it's suddenly newsworthy.

Folks can only live in houses that someone is selling or leaving so I really struggle with the replacement idea. People can chose to celebrate their heritage and culture, that doesn't prevent others doing the same.

I fully do no get the narrative that the make up of an area is the fault of people that live there, and I'm waiting for someone to explain what 'integrate' means here. Ditch their religion? Dress different?

'Whiteness' will inevitably decrease in the long term as more and more people mix together, but it's not some grand conspiracy. Especially one that would have to be perpetrated by white people!

Well that's a few wasted votes. Might as well take the ballot paper home and wipe your arse on it.

Pretty disgraceful this

UK deaths of 1,611 homeless people in 2024 is record high

Most are linked to suicide or drugs, with spice and nitazenes increasingly deadly.
