“Why ‘People of Colour’ Is a Divisive and Confused Term”
I agree wholeheartedly. We are all ‘people of colour’. I am a person of colour. In my case it is pinky beige.
Yes it’s a horrible term , almost as bad as being a Gammon , which is the perfectly fine category I apparently fall into !
What I find even more sinister and objectionable is the term “people of the global majority” which I saw in a job ad for a UK-based job. The ad stated they were particularly looking for candidates who were “people of the global majority”. I had to do an internet search to find out what they meant, which is that they preferred anyone but white European people.
The main point of the author is that the population of the world isn’t divided into two homogenous groups of white and non-white people. He’s using the recent events in Leicester to illustrate that — both Pakistani muslims and Indian Hindus are considered people of colour, yet, the heartily loathe each other. And the same goes for the supposed other side of this coin — I’ve been berated by descendants of Polish Jews for being German and by English people for not being English, but probably Polish, I’ve also been cross-questioned (that was at least the intent) if I work by perfectly middle-class English people because my foreign accent. Where are you really from? is considered to be a so-called racist microagression when the person being questioned is black. People ask me this as well, despite I’m not.
“Anthony Fauci still won’t admit that prolonged school closures – fueled by his rhetoric – were bad policy”
Detestable little man. He’s up to his chin in the entirety of Covid.
Well past his Best Before Date – if he ever had one – and time he was called to his maker. Or sent their by his victims.
And the HIV/Aids ‘vaccine’ before that
“Britain runs low on ammo as Ukraine bombards Kremlin forces”
Thank goodness we aren’t sending our young men to Ukraine too.
I think it’s much worse than that…common sense tells me that weapons, to all intents and purposes will eventually dry up if not run out. There are several EU countries who have already said they don’t have anything to send….and as someone said the more modern weapons that might be sent need months of training to use….then more months of training for the group that’s going to use them, as it’s no use just having a tank and driver, whatever weapons they send …. they have to be able to work in a larger theatre…and this all takes time.
Weapons can’t be made in a few days….This FT article states that it will take at least eighteen months for France to replace the 18 Caesar Howitzers it sent to Ukraine….and that the total annual production of US 155mm artillery shells would only last two weeks in Ukraine!…among other problems..

The USA are also consistently provoking China…with Biden, only a few days ago, stating yet again that they will defend Taiwan..so surely they need to ‘appear’ to be able to start an offensive on that front as well…..? With what weapons if they all go to Ukraine?
Of course this is all good news for the weapon’s industry…one way or another…
People have very short memories but I remember reading this last year….
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9764165/British-Army-ran-ammo-eight-days-online-war-simulation.html
British Army ‘ran out of ammunition in just eight days of fighting’ in simulated 10-day online war exercise, warns ex-commander of the US Army in Europe.
Hmm??
Bourla positive again…
Seems that British sheep are lining up for getting the bivalent mouse vaccine again too.
I saw a queue in front of a GT center in Sussex yesterday.
Half of them also masked while waiting outside….

Who are these people who keep testing themselves? Okay, this is a Pfizer ceo, so he has got some skin in the game, but he states he has no symptoms, so he hasn’t got covid, has he? The over sensitive test has found something up his conk, which he could have breathed in anywhere, and it could be any common or garden coronavirus, yet he is whining about being ‘infected’ again. I have no doubt there are still people who buy their test supplies weekly and test themselves, probably in the hope of snagging some time off. Idiots all.
I have read recently that thousands of these tests have received EUA, but none has received full approval yet, to prevent liability potential.
Go figure.
If he’s quadruple jabbed or whatever it is now, and Paxlovid’d to the hilt, why even bother to test yourself though? He’s a psychopathic, hypochondriac nutjob!
“Yes I have such faith in my safe and effective product that I expect the global population to take it and follow my lead. You too can aspire to be like me and have 4 shots but still catch the virus I made billions from telling you that you wouldn’t.”
Cretinous egomaniac!
I don’t understand why he, of all people, would broadcast this fact to the world though. I’ve said it before on here after the last time he tested positive and announced it. What was his thinking? Because surely it pays to keep such information to yourself as it’s hardly going to inspire confidence in the product you’re trying to gain even more profits from. We can debate if he even had the actual gene therapy or saline, but neither of those scenarios change the fact that surely him advertising his product is shit and highly INeffective is hardly in the best interests of Pfizer and the shareholders. I don’t get it.
Pandemic Logic
I’m vaccinated to the eyeballs, mask 24/7, carry a portable air filter around my neck, never go out and never see people. I tell people that they’re going to die from multiple organ damage with every covid infection being one of many cuts in the death of a thousand cuts. I suggest that they do everything I do to never get infected so they can’t infect
othersme.I don’t do this because I’m scared. It’s because I care about others.
Crook Fauci is crook shocker. Still not in prison yet then?
And smashing bottles in playgrounds. Ruddy useless.!
