This week's post: Racism and xenophobia are not 'legitimate concerns' https://t.co/FrVLku0Fpn The encouragement of violence against opponents by senior Reform politicians suggests they have the potential to become a fascist party.

@sjwrenlewis Simon, until the press & broadcast media are prized away from existing owners, editors etc nothing will change for populists & their street gangs. Labour I'm afraid are no different. 19 views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

New post: Racism and xenophobia are not 'legitimate concerns' https://t.co/FrVLku0Fpn What politicians and the media do today is like describing Mosley’s blackshirts in the 1930s as protesters with legitimate concerns about the government letting in too many Jewish refugees. 1.9K views · 21 likes · 7 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

@sjwrenlewis Racism and xenophobia are illegitimate, but wanting lower immigration doesn't automatically make you xenophobic/racist. You've called lower-immigration voters 'social conservatives' in the past, but even that is to assert that they could not have any economic motive 23 views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@sjwrenlewis Overdue by since whenever Gordon Brown's open mic mishap led to @UKLabour to adopt the term & established "legitimate concerns" as the political consensus happened, but hey, british intellectuals 4u, always ahead of the curve 37 views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@sjwrenlewis You repeatedly invoke masks to make these protesters sound sinister, but I don't recall the same concern over masked Palestine or gender-ideology protesters. if masking is evidence of menace here, it should be treated the same way when the cause is one you sympathise 82 views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

New post: Racism and xenophobia are not 'legitimate concerns' https://t.co/FrVLku0Fpn When politicians/media describe groups like those in black wearing masks as protestors against asylum seekers in small boats, they presume the motive is 'legitimate concerns' rather than racism. 2.8K views · 21 likes · 16 reposts · 4 replies Open on X →
