Very interesting piece about identity politics by Ash Sarkar.

Labour didn't suffer an embarrassing local election defeat because it's 'too woke' for the working class. It lost because it has no idea who the working class actually is in 2021, writes Ash Sarkar.

Did she really write that she wants to pay £800pcm for a shitty flat in London because she would be called a Paki by cab drivers out of their windows anywhere else?
No wonder the people of Hartlepool don't resonate with her.

Finger on the pulse Ash. You know exactly why Labour are failing in northern constituencies. You’re bound to know, as you spend so much time visiting them eh?Very interesting piece about identity politics by Ash Sarkar.

I found that a very difficult read.
Found it hard going, too - my attention kept wandering.

Looks very much like a first draft. Must do better.

Could have used half the amount of words, for a start, without losing anything. A touch of the word salad about it.
Plus, I was not actually sure what point she was making - the topic skipped around all over the place and she didn't really answer anything.
Most of all, there was no 'voice' behind her words. Made it difficult to read and maintain interest.

Yeh, who'd want to be named after German immigrants anyway?! 😡
People constantly looking at things and thinking if it's.offensive or not. It's crazy. Don't know anyone who's offended by this ffs.

I pity the cock-knockers who spent time and money discussing this.
"The RFU has also distanced itself from the 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot' anthem sung in support of the England team at Twickenham in recognition of its origins in slavery."
I could be wrong but isn't that more a tribute to the slaves rather than the slavers?
Theoretically they should stop calling the England team 'England', Saxons were a Germanic tribe no longer representative of today's English demographic, just as the Angles were a Germanic tribe.
So no Saxons, no Anglos, no England.
Oh and while we are on the subject, doesn't GREAT Britain and the United KINGDOM have whiffs of the colonial British Empire?
