As opposed to the constant dog whistling to the rural white population of the country from the Tories? (And Reeves and Starmer)
Agree with all of that.
The reason I called him dangerous is not because of his consistent rhetoric about Palestine.
I don't understand the significance of.... the rural white population.
In my experience rural areas and small towns are far more racist and/or scared of immigration than cities. Most likely because there aren't many immigrants there compared to the cities.
Boris was a very dangerous MP. But moreso once he'd wormed his way to the top.
Ok. But I would be a bit careful over generalisations. Especially the colour of people skins.
I was replying to @unrelatedPseudo 's hyperbolic statement that Galloway is "the most dangerous MP in Comms" and pointing out that it is a patently incorrect.
When talking about race? That's literally how it works
Except in this instance it is you doing the targeting. 'Talking about race' is what racists do.When talking about race? That's literally how it works
It's a made up construct by which people can discriminate against each other on the basis of culture and appearance. And white people in small towns in the south of England are the most numerous group to do it in the UK in my experience. It's not to say nobody else does it, just that the most numerous groups are the ones the politicians target most.
Why is it outdated?

This is very fair reasoning.

it's also what equality campaigners do. And probably pretty much every other human at some point.Muslim, not Moslem
Has a PM ever been this weak? If Sunak has any balls, he would call for an election immediately.
Cameron? May? Truss? He's just inherited the shittiest end of all their shitty sticks, and after Boris had taken a massive dump on the whole log pile too. Also wouldn't he need the party to vote with him to call an election thanks to Cameron?
If he calls for one, there no way he doesn’t win the vote.
OK...sorry, no offence.
Really?
Yes really....... I have already been corrected by @Frosty it's Muslim not Moslem
He may be weak but he isn’t stupid ….why would he call an election now?
He’ll have more of a sway over a large swathe of the electorate than any Tory in the next election. He’s actually good at working the culture war to his own benefit. The entire Tory party is just loud.
Are you actually suggesting that the rhetoric of the Tory party is less dangerous and influential than the largely derided and marginal "Gorgeous" George? How will he do this damage at election time that'll be greater than a party openly waging a culture war who'll get, worse case scenario, 25% of the vote, have large swathes of the media on their side, are backed by the majority of the most powerful people in the country and will literally be the sitting Government? This is just silly.
This tallies up with my experience when moving from a big city in the UK to a small one surrounded by rural areas with a 96% white/1% muslim demographic.When talking about race? That's literally how it works

Because it's going to get much, much worse for them than if they just had one now.
England win the Euros
Channel crossings increase
Don’t think it could get any worse
Every time I think they hit rock bottom, they seem to find a new low. Been that way since the Owen Patterson scandal.
Indeed ….Pandemic, war in Ukraine, Palestine, mass inflation ….a bottomless pit of shite.
Yes ok.
Far before that, Austerity, Brexit etc
What's left that could cost the tories 5+ points though?
I honestly don't know what to say about this.
This bit. Given enough runway, He’ll create a culture war in that space that actually divides people. He’s a cnut. But he’s a fairly effective one in the right (wrong) weather.
fecking Hell.
