Thursday’s thoughts.

The racism and bigotry of Yasmin Alibhai Brown.

Yasmin pleads compassion and lectures Ben Habib on the migrants coming in on boats. She says to him that could we just shoot them, implying that his strong borders strategy is aligned with violent dehumanisation. Yet whilst she’s pleading compassion and giving Ben a strong set of insults (may he never achieve power she scolds him), she also says the most racist thing I’ve ever heard anyone say to Ben in a debate. “Remember, you’re just as brown as I am.” “Why does that matter?” Ben asks. “Don’t forget your heritage!”

Yes, Ben stay in your lane and view the world through the prism of skin colour. Yasmin has for decades denigrated Britain whilst being given a platform on British TV and talked about racism towards her and other ethnic minorities. However, she has proved her hypocrisy in her insult towards Ben. It is clear to see that Ben has been brought up well and does not have a chip on his shoulder. Whereas like Narinder Kaur, another very rude woman, Yasmin has made a career out of an alleged victimhood. She expects the world to kowtow to her definition of compassion but does not have any real sense of it herself.

On the boats issue, as others including some Labour MPs have said, we need to be looking at why people say they feel they have no choice but to come on the boats. We need to be factoring in their motive of economic migration instead of just straight up believing the narrative that they are fleeing from war zones. There is also the very pertinent issue of how this mass immigration affects our small country, in terms of its magnitude as well as the attitudes being imported here. It’s not that hard to consider all of this especially as we have already seen dire consequences and regardless of what hypocrites like Yasmin say, the safety of a country is certainly not a bigoted issue.

Cry me a river, Rachel.

I reserve my sympathies for those who deserve it. I don’t think Rachel Reeves does. I have some sympathy over any personal issues causing her tears to flow in parliament but I am repulsed by this woman’s actions when it comes to farmers, the elderly, pensioners and probably so many more groups that I’ve missed. Charlie Bentley-Astor sums it up perfectly below. Let me make it clear that I wish Reeves no harm but I am speaking honestly when I say that her teary display did not tug on the heartstrings.

By Charlie Bentley-Astor; “I’ve no sympathy. This is a classic example of, “Middle class woman cries and suddenly we all find our humanity.”

Never mind the countless tears shed by the working class every day at the hands of this government, and the last.

This is what she has done to working class families up and down the country. How many divorces and separation have happened due to fights over money?

How many people are ground down to nothing - sleepless with fear and depression - because they cannot make ends meet and it only gets worse every months.

How many people have considered suicide or taken their lives because they simply cannot keep their company afloat with the new NI, or can't get a job after hundreds of applications and months of trying?

If you feel any sympathy for this woman, who lied her way into a role for which she was not qualified, you're one of the lucky ones for whom the economic mangle has been an inconvenience and a disappointment rather than life destroying.”

Thanks for reading.
