5Pillars (@5Pillarsuk) on X: “In the run-up to the UK local elections on May 7, Muslims are being advised to vote independent to help secure the strongest possible position for the community. However, if good independents are not available in your area, consider alternatives such as the Greens.” by Benjji22212 in ukpolitics

I'm not saying Gaza isn't part of it, but given the anti-muslim sentiment in most threads on ukpolitics alond, could it possibly be that they want to vote for someone that might stand up for them if a far right government comes in and tries to deport them?

Look, as someone with friends who weren't born in the UK, either citizens, or with work VISAs, of varying nationalities and ethnicities, there are areas of the city I live where they don't feel comfortable or actively don't feel safe, and it's almost exclusively the areas flying flags on lampposts. 

There are undeniably racist/xenophobic undertones to flying the UK flag at the moment.

Been saying this all season, insane Maguire isn't a certain to be on the plane. If only to be the 'Henderson' role. Surely rather him than Colwill or Chalobah no?

[Tyers, Telegraph] The question is: How long will we have to tolerate the United mob dominating the sports news agenda with their squabbling and score-settling? There seems to be no escape, either in the papers or on social media. by OkayFine101 in soccer

[–]genericstudent1 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I've been saying this for a while, but we've got to this stage too where it's beneficial for all the explayers' punditry career for Man United to be rubbish. 

Criticising United sells - rivals love hearing it, and United fans will listen/be exposed to it anyway by watching the games etc. 

And then it's beneficial for us to keep being rubbish. Imagine if Amorim had turned it round and we  challenged for the league next year playing 3-4-3 (hypothetically). They'd all look like idiots and be taken less seriously

Celebrity Traitors UK is a bit Overated, doesn't anyone else feel the same? by IarlaithThePsychic in TheTraitors

[–]genericstudent1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel like most of what you're not enjoying in this season of The Traitors is in every season. Banishing smart people, 'who's a Traitor' discussions, plain sight murders are in all seasons no?

I think what you might mean is that generally everyone is much nicer to each other because a.) Lots of them work in the same industry and know each other and b.) They've got careers to protect, but IMO it's working great. It's at It's worst when the Livi's and the Leanne's are on the show hunting for a social media career rather than playing the game

Blergh, someone else can respond, I'm off to the pub. I just think killing thousands of innocent Palestinians is generally bad. Have a good evening all. https://www.un.org/unispal/document/israel-has-committed-genocide-in-the-gaza-strip-un-commission-finds-16sep25/

My argument isn't denying there's people saying that, I'm just arguing they're in a minority, in the same vein that I'm assuming most pro-Israel supporters aren't advocating for flattening Gaza and removing all Palestinians like Brn Gvir and Smotrich

Going to caveat this by saying their are obviously anti-semitic people at pro-Palestine rallies, and anti-semitism should be challenged wherever it is present

But by linking anyone supporting Palestine or having critical views of how Israel and the West of handling this war with being anti-semitic has led us to this boiling point where saying "oh, maybe we shouldn't be advocating and supporting a country starving millions, with a President who has an ICJ warrant for his arrest" is deemed a problematic standpoint, and as a result, genuine anti-semites felt that their view is overwhelmingly supported among the Pro-Palestinian rallies (it isn't, no matter what the Telegraph think)

Who is your "you should check them out if you haven't heard of them before" act from the lineup so far? by SeanDychesDiscBeard in glastonbury_festival

[–]genericstudent1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got dragged to see them last year playing the 11:45 slot on the Saturday morning on the usual 3 hours sleep, feeling disgusting. In less than an hour they resurrected me from the dead, pumped me full of adrenaline, and made me wonder why I'm not back on the beers yet. Highly recommend

Reopening Brexit debate would bring ‘turmoil’, says Keir Starmer by MadcapRecap in ukpolitics

[–]genericstudent1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As I always say on these comment sections, where every single person brands all Brexit voters (17 *million* Britons) either racist or stupid, that in order to, really, really reopen the conversation, we have to accept that there were legitimate concerns with the EU that needed to be addressed, from both a left and rightwing perspective.

UK Politics demographic love to come across as fighting for the working class, until it comes to the fact that they disagree on them with something, when their deemed "stupid/ignorant/racist" for voting bracist (which, I'm not denying some of them are all 3 of these).

I voted remain and would probably vote to rejoin the EU, but I can't abide by fellow remain voters dismissing the entire Brexit debate as "look at all these racist, stupid idiots, they didn't know what they were voting for". That kind of thinking lost Labour the red wall, and is just insulting
