There does not seem a lot going on in UK politics and we appear to live in increasingly quiet times Oh I dunno, you can always rely on Labour to come up with something barmy. For instance, a couple of days ago shadow women and equalities secretary Anneliese Dodds, said this country is "structurally racist" because black households will bear the brunt of the cost-of-living crisis and are five times more likely [Than white households presumably] to struggle with their energy bills. Just another example of Labour weaponising the cost-of-living crisis in favour of minorities while never missing an opportunity to demonise the nasty privileged white majority. Btw, have you noticed the politically correct buzzword favoured by Labour used to be "endemically racist", but in recent months its changed. These days they say "structurally racist". Not that it matters, as long as the white majority are racists of some sort that's all that really matters, for Labour. |

The MPs are back in their boxes for Christmas. Unless we get a major event outwith their control, it will remain quiet.

There is not a lot going on anywhere at the moment. Most workers are off for the New Year holiday and those that are not are striking - the country is at a bit of a standstill.

Blacks presumably struggle more with their energy bills than whites because they're poorer. So I wonder how many cofactors there are here - a lot I'd say. Are blacks more likely to be immigrants/refugees for example or likely to be less educated etc. It could be nothing to do with their colour whatsoever. People are always doing this - finding a correlation between two things and assuming it's causal, when more often than not it isn't. |

It's a shame really, if Anneliese Dodds had spoken about some strategy to help the poorest in society with the cost of living crisis and energy bills, 'regardless of colour', I would have welcomed it. I'm sure most people would have welcomed it. But Labour being Labour they have to weaponize it, they have to make it a race issue. |

And racist lefties know it which is why they hide behind terms like "Institutionally" "Endemically" or "Structurally" racist because it's a way of calling people "Racist" without having to actually prove it. |

You would have found reason to attack it. Because you are a tribalist Tory partisan, the Tory equivalent of See 2 and his New Labour cult. |

This thread is certainly bringing out all the right wing, closet racist, kneejerk loonies. You all appear to have been triggered. It is quite entertaining to watch, lol |

Interesting that Anneliese Dodds was being touted as a potential Chancellor by Labour considering she has no economic qualification or training or has ever had a job outside of politics.
With politicians of that calibre its not surprising that the country is in the shit..
