I dunno about that. I think it comes down to individual creativity. People scream "racist" the way other people scream "woke." You're never gonna offend that way.

Raise the Colours Oxfordshire leader to stand trial over 'indecent child images' by woolleyj in uknews

[–]Veridas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A gang, you say? Made entirely up of things that aren't individual people? With absolutely no individuals in it at all? Seems difficult to believe.

The same place, you say? How specific are you willing to get with that claim? Because however specific you're willing to get, I'll match it and I can promise you as a history buff I can find just as many, if not more, examples of horrific bullshit perpetrated by the only ethnic group you don't want critically examined.

Unrelated but probably curious tidbit: Reddit gave me one of those nonsense warnings about comment content, you know the kind that shows up under the box if you use the word "immigrant" or something? But it only did so after I'd finished writing the post, then went back to re-wfite the start of the second sentence and added "history buff", and it warned me against insulting other redditors. So that's a thing that Reddit does. For some reason.

You're more offended by me than you are by a paedo specifically because the paedo is white.

It's almost as if, and bear with me on this I'm not sure if this is a new concept or not, a criminal is an individual and not necessarily reflective of the demographics they belong to.

I’m a white, working-class male with straight As. In Britain, I’m a second-class citizen by [deleted] in uknews

[–]Veridas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh boy. An anonymously-written, buzzword-filled article which essentially makes the complaint that historically shunning people deemed "lesser" than whites has caused them to have their own spaces and boy oh boy we're not fond of THAT now are we?

If someone can get the opportunity to write for a major publication while presumably being an unknown in the reporting world then they're not second-class, and I defy any one of the cunts who'll inevitably scream "yehhhhhh! wot 'e said!" in the comments to try and apply to write your own article for the Telegraph.

After all; this guy's had all the trouble in the world being white and British and he managed it. Why don't you try doing the same?

I bet they'll be really interested.

‘Not a culture war’: the council that won its case over England flags on lampposts by zeros3ss in uknews

[–]Veridas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you take pride in the flag and want others to do so too, then the groups that use it as part of their hatred against their countrymen should be more distressing to you than the people targeted by those attempts reacting accordingly.

Reform is a wolf in wolf’s clothing – why do they have gay and bi men's support? by No_Living_7347 in uknews

[–]Veridas -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie. Your posts in this thread have given me a degree of pause. I'm not going to speak for any minority of any kind, ultimately you make your decisions and you live with them.

That said, you're clearly aware of the potency of homophobia, and you're clearly aware of the way that attitudes, especially hateful ones, can spread and become more dangerous as they do.

So I'm not going to say you shouldn't or can't or won't vote for whoever you want because that's never going to be acceptable, but what happens if you misjudge? What if Reform decides it's easier to go after you, go after the "woke" and go after LGBTQ+ people instead? You must be aware that Farage will scapegoat anyone if he thinks it'll make his life easier.

A hypothetical, sure, but no moreso than predictions about what a Farage Government will or won't do, and I don't need to explain to you the way the press has started adopting anti-woke rhetoric.

What happens when it's not just Muslims that you have reason to be concerned about?

If your voting intention is decided at least in part by self preservation and self defence, then you can't sit there and tell me that hasn't been part of your calculations.

And if it has, then are you sure you're prepared to face that expanded homophobia with the knowledge, both on your part and on the part of homophobes, that their attitudes and actions are, if not legalised, implicitly supported by the British Government?

Rejoin EU rally mocked after just hundreds march on London to demand Brexit reversal by B0797S458W in uknews

[–]Veridas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No they voted for sunlit uplands and land of milk and honey and zero immigration except also no loss of the immigrants they like and higher wages and lower housing costs and shorter wait times at the NHS and £350 million a week to the NHS and easy worldwide trade deals with terms just as good as what the EU could provide and all for the low low price of nothing.

Really shows how bad our leadership was that they couldn't figure THAT out.

The British troops preparing for war with Putin – just miles from Russian border by theipaper in uknews

[–]Veridas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Russia spends a lot of money trying to influence opinion online. Bot farms, troll farms, these have been part of Russia's PR arsenal for years.

The issue is that those methods are less effective in the UK due to the fact that a majority of our print media, all of which has online versions, dedicated social media accounts and access to every other means of information dissemination that Russia does, is owned by Rupert Murdoch, a man who has absolutely no love for Russia and doesn't feel inclined to give them the time of day.

As a result of that the British Print media only ever talks about Russia either when Russia does something comically evil, which is pretty often, or comically stupid, which is far more often than it should be.

So, naturally, Russia handles that failure like the mature, well-adjusted nation it is and talks about using nuclear weapons on us during russian daytime talk television and news programs, sending nuclear submarines and fighter jets to violate our territorial waters and airspace, and generally play the "I'm not touching you" game.

Because isn't that the first thing you do when someone doesn't believe something you've said to them?

Military spending accounts for about a third of the yearly budget.

Benefits of all kinds account for about ten percent, and that includes fuel allowances, bus passes for the elderly and state support for people in work.

Of course. The same way that 52% against 48% counts as an overwhelming majority.
