Don't watch the series of Taskmaster that she's in then. You'll lose respect for her, she crashes and burns so hard it's cringe and difficult to watch

Labour government.

Labour.

This is supposed to be a government of the working class?

Does the working class support genocide?

I get you, but English is the only language required throughout the UK because of similarly xenophobic policies in the past.

My argument isn't meant to be the final gotcha and suddenly Keir will reverse policy, it's to give another perspective, another point of attack, another reason on top of all the others as to why this is a bullshit policy. A reason not likely thought about by monolingual English speakers.

Gaelic was exterminated through various government policies. Yes it was slowly, naturally, losing to English anyway but instead of allowing a bilingual society to thrive it was stamped out through force, both at the end of a gun and at the end of a belt in classrooms.

Cornish, Welsh, Irish, are all as native a language to this island as English. Why does English get priority? Because of colonial oppression. And this is another oppressive policy. More authoritarian policy from a supposed left wing Labour party. More pandering to racists like Reform.

Never believe that anti‐ Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti‐Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.

Chan eil. Tha Keir Starmer sean-fhòbaidh agus ùghdarrasach.

Tap for spoilerNo. Keir Starmer is xenophobic and authoritarian.

English isn't the only language on this island, twat.

In August 2018, aged 15, Thunberg began skipping school, vowing to remain out of school until after a Swedish election to attempt to influence the outcome. She protested outside the Swedish parliament where she called for stronger action on climate change by holding up a Skolstrejk för klimatet (School Strike for Climate) sign and handing out informational flyers.[7] After the election, Thunberg spoke in front of supporters, telling them to use phones to film her. She then said she would continue school striking for the climate every Friday until Sweden was in compliance with the Paris climate agreement.[8] Thunberg's youth and blunt speaking manner fueled her rise to the status of a global icon.[9]

After Thunberg's first school strike for the climate, other students engaged in similar protests. They united and organized the school strike for climate movement. After Thunberg addressed the 2018 United Nations Climate Change Conference, weekly climate strike protests took place on Fridays around the world. In 2019, coordinated multi-city protests involved over a million students each.[10] To avoid carbon-intensive flying, Thunberg sailed on a carbon-free yacht from England to New York where she addressed the 2019 UN Climate Action Summit.[11] In her speech, Thunberg scolded the world's leaders by exclaiming "How dare you" in reference to their perceived indifference and inaction to the climate crisis. Her admonishment made worldwide headlines.[12]

You're clearly a troll with nothing better to do than "just ask questions" https://youtu.be/elRxbGJuCw8 but for the benefit of others, click on the Wikipedia link above and read for yourself who Greta is and why she's famous.

Does anyone know an easy way to download this video? Voyager has a handy download button for embedded videos but I don't see anything like that for the Streamable website

I'm collecting videos of police brutality to help convince more politically neutral/ambivalent friends of what's going on.
