Maybe. It's still ok though. People can legitimately have different appoaches on this. It's not as if KB doesnt have a history.

I wouldn't call KB nasty but then some people say I'm too nice

Immigration and pretty much everythign afaik

We have been hearing for like 5+ years that non-white people can't definitionally be racist by "experts" on all major media , that's a core tenet of critical race theory.

Do you think trans women would be allowed in female spaces? Or that cultural relativism is a thing??

No, that's not a critical tenet of CRT.

A black person could be racist against Asians or Jews, of course, who could be racist against Irish people.

I agree that trans women are women. I dont like the vitriol aimed at some women who struggle with this and/or fear men.

No, Black People Can’t Be “Racists”
The term “racism” must be understood within the context of an anti-Black American polity.

Where Did We Get the Idea That Only White People Can Be Racist? by Peter Wood | NAS

And so on and on and on and on.

It's your political allies, it's the bone structure of intellectualism on the anglosaxon left which rose to prominence recently, it's your people, it's your tribe, own their folly

Do you think it's proper to legally force shelters for biological women victim of rape to allow into intimate spaces with biological women who have been sexually violated by dicks and are emotionally scarred beyond the pale by that, other peoples with dicks?

Do you think it's proper to legally force biological women to share prison cells with people with dicks?

If you ever stop a second to judge those claims and your answer is anything but "yes it's absolutely 100% proper without exceptions" then you do NOT actually believe that "trans women are women".

Well this is the UK thread, so take your daft American definitions elsewhere.

Badenoch has just come out and said that "Partygate was overblown" and the real problem was in issuing fines.

LOOOOL

She's an appalling cnut

Can someone from the UK tell me why asylum seekers are house in hotels at 140-150 pounds per person per day (which is more than what a normal family pays per person in hotels)?

https://amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...

/The latest figures from June show there were nearly 30,000 migrants living in more than 250 hotels at a cost of £4.2m a day./

I don't think the guardian is racist, is it?

Can't they just be housed in the less expensive areas of the country, giving them empty buildings?

Which areas are those?

Dunno for sure but i suppose the UK government does have data on which areas of the country have the lowest housing prices? I could tell you about that in Italy

If for some reason i can't understand they have to be in hotels, find the literal cheapest hotels with the lower occupancy rate in the whole country and put them there right?

Or it's a human right to be housed in expensive areas when coming from other countries?

I that where they're currently being housed?

cos it's very expensive to pay private companies to do it. It isn't luxury - it's the bare minimum if we're lucky. I'd agree we should have the capacity to do it within the poblic sector. It woudl be much cheaper with much higher standards.

Even better, let them work and rent.

why do you pay far less than 600 pounds for a family of 4 if you book an hotel with 3 meals in many places right now?

and the government should get a heavy discount if it books 100 rooms for 3 years right? so should pay far less than you do.

If you spend 3 hours on booking what's the lowest for 4 you can find in the whole UK with 3 meals included? now do -20/30 to that and that's what the government should be paying to house them in hotels

ok so how do you pay 140/pounds/day/person in rural Scotland or northern england off season?

keep in mind Italy did house some asylum seekers in hotels from time to time when pressure was high and we paid a lot less

Tory govt being terrible at governing was deliberate

it's a very different martket to being on holiday and the private sector are exploiting it to the full

We all seem to agree it's an awful way to do it.

private sector is far cheaper than public, public managed hotels would cost more with lower quality (like everything done by the gvmnt).

it is cheaper when done in bulk. and it's cheaper than on season holidays.

just use the cheapest places when they are full of empty rooms

You might like to consider the location of hotels and why there aren't many in very poor areas.

again, open booking.com and go lowest prices first to fill, nationwide.

sure there are fewer hotels in random areas than the are are in London.

but bed and breakfast places and so on are common in rural areas aren't they? fill them all year round, rural ppl make money that makes a difference for them, government saves money

The government wants them where they can keep track of them, and they can't be paid allowances to just please themselves out in the wild, and the room rates are low-end normal.

I've lately found out that Claude Monet paid 7/6d a night (37.5p) for his room at the Savoy, the cheapest they had circa 1900, I'm guessing with a discount for long-term occupancy. From that room's balcony, since demolished -- it doesn't have a balcony any more, and it's been knocked-through to create a huge vulgar top-price suite that he would have hated -- he painted his amazing foggy views of Westminster Bridge and the Houses of Parliament.

If she doesn't understand the symbolism of these things, and the optics of top people going 'One rule for thee and another for me,' she may hit trouble.

I'd agree the worst of all worlds is usually a public private combo

You're OK with forced child marriage and FGM, then, presumably. (Which of course you're not.) Because I think that's what that was about.
