It doesn't say which constituency Labour might field Edward in. Fairly certain it won't be a "red wall" one in northern England...

Met Police say David Lammy is talking rubbish and that it's not bias that causes disproportionality, but the actions of particular groups.

Totally unacceptable!

Art: A leading surgeon has sounded the alarm over urgent children’s operations being cancelled because of coronavirus pressures on hospitals.

It came as Public Health England figures revealed cancer surgery fell by a third during the first wave of coronavirus last year.

The Health Service Journal (HSJ) reported that “dozens and potentially hundreds” of children’s operations had been cancelled during the third wave.

Eric Nicholls, a paediatric surgeon and a council member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, told the HSJ: “We are now hearing that [paediatric] P2 cases [which should be done within a month] are increasingly being cancelled around the country, due to increased and prolonged pressure on hospitals from the coronavirus."

A reasonable whistlestop review of the various historical positions regarding the ascent of Britain and its reliance (or rather non-reliance) on slavery and Empire. A much smaller factor that cannot account for how larger imperial entities were left in the dust. Others have considered this in greater depth, but it's a fair summation and short.

The political charade

Insanity calls. Danish to try former immigration minister because she split up child brides from their 'husbands'.

Imagine living in a state that overtly tells the leading opposition party that because your populist politics are suspect, the state will surveil you and all your members' personal comms.

Other minorities call out the head of "British Future" on his self-serving crap of minorities feeling 'British' via the usual dishonest polling techniques.

😏 "Previously named David Hume Tower, the Uni of Edinburgh building now goes by 40 George Square. Two sub-committees of the recently received an petition signed by 1700 students, that Hume “wrote racist epithets”. For this reason the tower was renamed.

Let’s take a look at what Hume actually said to merit this. His comments in “On National Characters” in his Essays, Moral, Political and Literary, published in 1758. He stated: “I am apt to suspect the negroes and in general all other species of men (for there are four or five different kinds) to be naturally inferior to the whites …There never was a civilized nation of any other complexion than white, nor even any individual eminent either in action or speculation. No ingenious manufactures amongst them, no arts, no sciences.”

A reasonable person could not interpret these remarks as not racist. They take race as a reality & attribute different characteristics to different races. Could one of the world’s greatest philosophers truly believe this?"

The modern CoE...

The UK's largest exam qualification provider will now take 25% of their English literature titles from black activist writers. This includes Blackman whose Noughts and Crosses books describe a world where blacks enslave whites (not the books chosen for GCSEs).

This is what things have come to in Britain

We need a de-Marxification of our whole public sector, including universities, to remove people like this from their positions. Instant dismissal, cancelled pension entitlements.
