"Multiculturalism has failed" said the daughter of Indian immigrants who came here from Mauritius and Kenya, who is married to a Jewish guy, and whose boss is the country's first Hindu Prime Minister.

She's so pigshit-thick that it's actually insulting to think that she has access to the highest levels of power.

She isn't thick. This is purely ideology in nature.

Yeah, you're probably right. I kinda prefer to think she's thick though, because the alternative is that she's just callously evil.

[-] theinspectorst@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

It's both. You can't not be thick to hold an ideology like hers.

There's an implicit "for the poor" that needs to be appended to these things when they come from Tories. Even then there's no reason to think it's true, but the point being that they don't see themselves as part of the groups they're talking about.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
