Please beware the Twitter accounts sharing seemingly harmless nostalgia, which are, in reality, spreading xenophobia and racism. @Otto_English has dubbed this trend #Shitstalgia. Here is a case in point: Sandy of Suffolk.... 1/n Image
Sandy was quick to say her thread wasn't intended to be racist, but does that stack up? #Shitstalgia
2/n Image
Someone replied to Sandy of Suffolk with a beautiful photo of the Shah Jahan Mosque. Take a look at Sandy's reply. So, Sandy, Muslims aren't British, then?

Why would Ginny H Ball suggest any black person, whether born British, or a British citizen, if accused or guilty of a violent offence, should be deported? Would she suggest the same for a white person doing the same? Image

Since he has written that current disability benefits are too generous, you can watch Matthew Parris failing to manage living off benefits for just a week back in 1984. Spoiler alert: he runs out of money with 2 days to go, and can't pay for his energy.
Don't forget that time Matthew Parris advocated eugenics. This commentary from @brokenbottleboy is essential reading. brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/eugenics-if-…

Susan Hall has been selected by Conservative members to become the party's mayoral candidate for London after winning 57% of the vote. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
