An Easy-To-Miss Example of Subtle Racism from the Right

This example had to be pointed out to me. I missed it. It's subtle. Okay, so preamble. Imagine a young British sprinter, John Smith, suddenly explodes onto the world circuit from nowhere. The country hasn't really heard of him, the world certainly hasn't. He

What Is Wrong with the Left?: The Mechanisms of Messaging

I was asked the other day “what is wrong with the left?” or “where has the left gone wrong?” This is presumably in the context of the UK since this is quite a different political environment to the US, although there are obvious similarities. Let me answer this question in

Stats: The Daily Mail Is by Far the Most Inaccurate (Dishonest?) Paper in Britain

IPSO, the press self-regulatory body, have recently released the stats concerning inaccurate claims that have been challenged and upheld: Staunch left-wing site Another Angry Voice reports it as follows: It's important to bear in mind that these 37 upheld complaints only scratch the surface of the dishonesty and

Analysing the Muslim Foster Care Scandal: Daily Mail Hypocrisy

There has recently been a scandal in the UK regarding a child from a Christian background being fostered by Muslim foster carers. This has produced quite a lot of media attention due to the fact that the foster carers supposedly encouraged the five-year-old girl to speak Arabic and banned her

Looking at #StopFundingHate: Is It Defensible?

In Britain, Christmas time has become synonymous with a host of emotional adverts from John Lewis, Sainsbury's, M&S, Co-Op and the like. These pull on the heartstrings and are even hotly anticipated ("What will this year's John Lewis advert be?"), often spawning

Daily Mail Relegates Murder of Serving MP by Extremist to Page 30

This is extraordinary. The stories that are prioritised above this is amazing. The Daily Mail is a fucking disgrace. It is so openly racist and extremist that I could cry. I can't embed the video yet, but it can be seen here. Yesterday, a white supremacist terrorist was

The Daily Mail, Taharrush (collective sexual harrassment) and Wikipedia

Someone who is well versed in Wikipedia, please help. Recently, there have been reports that the Cologne mass sexual assaults, which I commented on here, are something called "taharrush", and they are supposedly an Arab/Muslim thing. Or, at least, that is what the right-wing UK newspaper, The

Why the Daily Mail is a pathetically crap newspaper

Why the Daily Mail is a pathetically crap newspaper

Liz Kendall, running for Labour leadership in the UK, was rightfully indignant about the shiteness of the Daily Mail, Britain's worst paper. Seriously, what century are we in? As the BBC reports: Labour leadership contender Liz Kendall has said it is "unbelievable" she was asked about

Got to be true because it's in the Daily Mail

Proof (again) that the Daily Mail is a Racist, Sexist, Bigoted Diatribe

I am no fan of the right-wing espouser of nonsense and lies that is the Daily Mail. It is a horrible UK paper. For those across the pond who don't know, it has a rather chequered history, supporting the Nazis way back when and then continuing in the vein ever since. Not really chequered, ac ++tual

African Union: We Cannot Ignore The Plight Of Berkshire Any Longer

Some of you the other side of the Atlantic may not know that the Gulf Stream which predominantly dictates weather as it pushes systems from North and Central America over to Europe, has been stuck. For months. This has meant the cold air from the North American weather issues has met warmer air from
