So this is nearly an hour long, so I don't say this lightly. But this video is the best thing Brutalmoose has ever done, which makes it one of the best things on YouTube. It is delightful throughout. You should definitely watch it. https://t.co/3epZGRIwS2

It looks *exactly* as you imagined it.

Opponents of “wokeism” complain you can’t do anything nowadays for fear of upsetting or offending minorities. I’d perhaps argue the problem with Britain has for a long time been that we’re too fearful of upsetting or offending racists.
People say "we can't have an honest debate about race in this country". OK. Let's have one. Lucy Connolly's a self-confessed racist. Now, if that doesn't bother you, fine. If she's still a hero to you, fine. But don't gaslight us all, and pretend she isn't a racist, when she is.

Allison and others keep making this claim. The most recent poll by More In Common found 52% of people believe Connolly's sentence was correct, or even too lenient, compared to only 35% who think it was too harsh.
