  • This is a pretty scary statement. It seems like the Conservatives (the official opposition) see Reform as their opposition and are just trying to counter their policy by trying to sit further right. This seems bonkers to me and will only normalise this sort of discourse, also pushing other parties further right.

    I do wonder if we had a voting system and parliament which encouraged party collaboration we would have such issues.

    • are just trying to counter their policy by trying to sit further right

      good luck campaigning on that with an African, Black, woman as the candidate for prime minister. The party base have said it with Sunak, and they're going to say it again to Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch.

      I don't think there's any problem with an ethnic woman being prime minister, however, the right wing arseholes definately will.

    • Barely born in the UK,

      Wow! Just wow!

      We still have a long way to go. Disgraceful.

      • Olukemi Olufunto "Kemi" Adegoke was born on 2 January 1980 in Wimbledon, London.[14] Her mother Feyi had travelled from Nigeria to the United Kingdom for medical treatment, and gave birth in St Teresa's Maternity Hospital. This was before the British Nationality Act 1981 abolished automatic birthright citizenship for those born in the UK; Feyi then returned to Nigeria shortly after Olukemi was born.[15][16][17][18] In later interviews, Badenoch denied claims she was an "anchor baby" and asserted that her family did not know she was in fact eligible for a British passport until she was a teenager

        So, she was born in the UK, ONE YEAR before the British Nationality act was abolished, got birthright citizenship, and then left basically after she was born. That's what my statement means. Also, she would do the opposite of bringing that kind of thing back.

        Now, you may be thinking that I'm saying this as a racist right winger. That's not the case at all. I hate these "pull up the ladder behind them" , "tough on immigration" ethnic minorities who stop just short of deporting their own families because they turn against us, the other ethnic minorities.

        I grew up in London with many other ethnic people with roots from all over the world. The Olukemis and the Rishis simply exist to fuck us over and try to get special treatment from the racists and try to get theirs while making our lives worse.

        So pointing out that irony crudely is how I choose to deal with it.

        I would love to see her be asked "how do you feel when you hear white conservatives use the "N" word near you?" just to see the bottled up feelings she has to hide to succeed come bubbling up and tear her rotten, withered heart to pieces.
