"Bite the air in Britain and you can taste the racism, the homophobia, the sexism and all the prejudices that constitute the real cancel culture that pervades our society. It’s the thousand tiny cancellations people suffer daily not because of what they think or do, but because of what they are;"

~ Martin Rowson

Conservatives have been in charge of the British economy for a very long time.

And they're all really unhappy with the results

#Reforestation is essential if we are to mitigate #ClimateChange & species extinction.

The linked-too Conservation article are not in my words. The author is correct about the need to reforest #Britain . Although, apparently lacks the sensitivity about colonialism (probably because of how it's taught in "great" Britain's classrooms & media)

" in 1086, from lowland to upland, Britain was covered with trees"

#UK #Conservative Gov ("Tories") often think up slogans to sell #political ideologies. They also pay advertising companies to promote their business agendas.

By now, more UK citizens will have recognised some form of #greenwash

The most pernicious form of greenwashing #gaslights a population of people. Tories have been gaslighting UK citizens for decades. E.g., Tories "net zero" idealogy uses the "power up #Britain" slogan.

We must reduce power to mitigate #ClimateChange

They lie for money!

About 15 years ago, I had to travel around Britain for work. I discovered that cold sandwiches were a thing in the UK. When I asked for them to be toasted, the server behind the counter looked at me like I was crazy.

They weren't wrong. Cold breakfasts are not a thing in Malaysia, so after 7 days of cold beef sandwiches something in me broke.

I wonder if toasted sandwiches is finally a thing in the UK lol.

The excerpt in /1 is from Matthew Stallard and Aamna Mohdin in The Guardian's current series entitled "Cotton Capital: How slavery changed the Guardian, Britain and the world."

I highly recommend it. The link in /1 leads to the series.

"In little more than a century, Manchester grew from a small market town into the world’s first industrial city. While the factors behind this transformation were complex, what’s clear is how integral systems of racial slavery in the Americas were to British industrialisation: the raw materials they produced, the market demand they created and the capital they generated for reinvestment. These two worlds are connected by an ironclad thread."

Just discovered this Youtuber/Tiktoker, and I'm laughing over the #Britain vs #Germany comparisons.

I have a feeling #Malaysians will epically discombobulate Germans with our utter chaos, randomness and "time flexibility".
