OP, Rule 3, please. And then feel free to provide any context you think is needed in the body.
Edit: Appreciated, OP, and espscially appreciated for adding some variety with non-US news. ❤️
Every conservative thinks that they are the exception, that they are foot that wears the boot.
White, black, Latino....they all think that they are special. That they'll be spared.
But they are all bigoted.
Just to clarify: The vast majority of people who talk about the whole "work hard and you'll become rich" thing, are knowingly lying. They don't actually believe that, they're just narcissists who say it because they want everyone else to do all the work. So they lie and make up things like it making you rich, or it being part of the bible or even human nature to "have" to work.
Unless you're an ultra wealthy white man, the party hates you.
Money covers a lot of sins. They'll happily take advantage of your wealth so long as you're willing to give it to them.
See: Kanye
Are there many Yankee socialists in Britain?
There are quite a lot of conservatives around the world who are ok with enslavement.
Clarence Thomas apparently said that white liberals were just as racist to him, they just did it in a more sly way. So he joined the side that made him the most money.
I can't totally say he's wrong.
Bear in mind that these are British Conservatives, who are aligned more toward the US Democratic Party than what an American would consider "conservative". They also have a black leader.
Now go look up how she even got British citizenship in the first place, and what she says about asylum seekers and immigrants. Hypocrite of the lowest order.
You can't make this shit up.
And then they came for Uncle Tom, and there was no one left to speak for him.
I will say the dude joined about the same time the broadcaster was created, so it is reasonable to accept that he didn't know where he was getting into.
Nah, we all knew very early on that gb news was meant to be the fox news of the UK.
If you're joining an organisation that took Andrew Neill off the screen in its first week of broadcasting for being too left wing, and replaced him with Nigel Farage, you have to have had your head firmly in the sand if you don't realise they're right wing nut jobs.
He's also a regular at the Conservative cool aid fountain, founder OF LGBT Conservatives
Oh well.
