A friend of mine, fairly high up in the civil service, told me there’s an ongoing drive to ensure 80% of new employees are non-white.

As an indigenous English male, this sort of casual, everyday racism forms a permanent backdrop to my life. The establishment despise us and they’re happy to show it.

I think people flying "Flags of All Nations" (as I call it when people are showing a lot of "victim" flags on social media) are mostly mindlessly virtue signalling, but some causes (notably Palestine and trans) do seem to attract a lot of bigots and bullies looking for an excuse to attack others (Jews and women) violently, but still be considered "one of the good guys."

I think Starmer and all the Cabinet think they're doing the right thing and not harming anyone, that they're actually making the world a better place. That's the scary thing, that they're that far out of touch with reality.
