Emancipation, Indeed

The Right are always the biggest snowflakes. Always have been. I remember the whining that even the minimal policing of the Countryside March had been "draconian". And if Saturday's march through Brixton intimidated you, then you need to get out more.

In any case, why are you attacking your own side? Even if only by default, the fact that none of these people has the slightest intention of voting for Keir Starmer will deliver to the Conservative Party scores of urban seats, quite possibly including Starmer's own. You ought to be encouraging them.

The anti-racist movement adored Jeremy Corbyn, but they would not vote for Starmer to save their lives. Even if they did not vote at all in 2024, and that is highly likely, then the Conservative Party would owe them dozens of previously unimaginable seats.

And that party would not be allowed to forget it. For example, Saturday's march was for reparations. So reparations are coming. Under the Conservative Government that there is going to be for anything like the foreseeable future.
