What’s actually happening: - lowest wage growth in the developed world - worst decline in living standards since the mid 1800’s - lowest productivity in the developed world - deficit reduction targets missed year after year after year by a government who can’t/won’t admit austerity is failing - among the worst transport infrastructure in the developed world - value of the pound decimated - brexit agenda being dictated to us by the EU - we are ruled by a government who literally and openly bought power for billions but can’t find the money to feed starving children Even ignoring the lowest growth forecasts in the history of growth forecasts because yeah, that hasn’t happened yet, any rational person can see the country is in a very deep rut under this government.

It's harder for a white person to be a victim of racism in this country. I'm sure the black and asian tory MPs get racial abuse too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that's true, given what you've talked about of your own life in the past. It is an interesting point, though: is there a distinction between being nasty on account of what people do and what they are? In my own view, there is and the latter is much less acceptable than the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
