'white liberals love us when we are their pets, on welfare, single parent homes and embarking in criminality.
They despise us that demand better, academically, socially and economically.'

That is so true. And god forbid a BAME person votes Conservative, or becomes a Conservative MP. Traitors! (apparently). It's so bloody painfully patronising.

Or leader of that party, good on her btw

Precisely that, regressive and patronising is succulent way to describe this.

I’m sick of being called an Uncle Tom or worse because I can see through the BS.

ignored, vilified and disrespected because THEY have already decided an agenda and we don’t fit it.

We really need to cut the crap out, it’s not just Jews, Blacks and other minorities either, look how they silence white working class girls being raped, the vitriol children received was truly sickening.

The very people advocating harmful policy and rhetoric seldom have any lived in experience for what they’re fighting for.

'The very people advocating harmful policy and rhetoric seldom have any lived in experience for what they’re fighting for.'

YES. This is why they can afford to be so certain. When you risk NOTHING, you can champion anything and earn maximum status points. Which is what it is really, about.

Meanwhile for example, detransitioners live with ruined bodies (TWAW!), white working class girls used by pakistani grooming gangs live their lives with trauma (RACIST ACCUSATIONS!) women in Iran stoned to death (Muslim haters!)

They make me sick.

Kemi is everything they fear, an educated Black woman that demands the same rules apply to ALL, especially vocal on demanding protected single sex spaces remain protected.

Look at the difference in calibre you have in Black MPs in the Tory Party, one is a hypocrite who sends her son to a private school and can’t do basic maths and the other is LEADER of her party but only one is systematically called a traitor etc.

Queenncat · 15/08/2026 21:06

I actually adore Kemi B

I do too, she’s awesome.

I admired Rishi Sunak too, thought he was far more moral and noble than many that came before and after but he was called a coconut and worse.

Shameful that common sense has been weaponised.

I truly believe the tide is turning, just like women galvanised to oppose the ludicrous trans ideology that was putting us and children in danger, many of us BAME are taking a stand against this nonsense of everything belong racist including science and maths!

Bullseye.

isn’t it funny her stance on education but when it came down to it, she put her black child into a few paying school and not the state funded schools she was advocating for.

Same on both. I think Kemi (and Rishi) make some people feel bad about their own situations and lack of success but tough. Good on her for being successful.

Kemi is the breakthrough the Tories needed. She's just got to stave off Reform and get those swing voters back. I've seen women say she "won't be allowed" by her party to be PM. She won't last etc. Labour voters calling Reform misogynists - amongst everything else - while their own party refuses to champion women to the top. These people aren't in any position to decide what is and isn't racist and sexist when they can't even show solidarity to fellow women because they are too busy defending the men.

I couldn't stand her anyway. The tin lid was put in it for me when after Ann Widdecombe was murdered, she was the only one to stand up in the Commons and make it all about her. She's also antisemitic so she gets fuck all respect from me.

When one party can’t even define what a woman is, I’ll be wise not to listen to what they believe constitutes misogyny, especially as they believe the feelings of biological men trump that of us women.

As for Reform, as much as I’m not one to vote for them, I genuinely believe the Tories may have to seriously consider a tactical alliance of such.

I find it ironic that I was told Reform was very islamaphobic but no one can explain why Habib and Zia were formerly and the actively, heavily involved in such party.

We have gone completely one way, I do not blame people seeing Reform as the only alternative especially as the Tories had over a decade to implement change and did rather little but Kemi is a breath of fresh air and can potentially pull of a surprise but I see more a coalition as such rather than a full on victory.

Have you noticed how normalised and mainstream it has become to be anti semitic, it’s now considered cool like wishing death on terfs. They’re always on the wrong side of history.

They love to say their moral compass is pointing in the right direction. This is after calling karma on Charlie Kirk and Ann Widdecombe's murders.

Yep, Cambridge were Arday’s enablers - so desperate were they to have a poster boy who ticked all the DEI boxes.

There were 5 or 6 black professors at Cambridge by the point he was appointed, so while he was certainly a mascot, it’s not as simple as him being selected only on race. His impressive back story, his willingness to talk about it, media friendliness etc all contributed.

The story of his student is also directly relevant to the crux of the story, which is the concerns about academic standards at an elite British university.

Not sure Roehampton is an elite university. I did read the article and it’s not a great reflection, but I’ve seen bits from others who were taught and worked with him that are complementary and talk of how inspired and supported they felt. So, hard to tell for sure. I’ve had students who felt they didn’t learn enough in my class, and I also know those students didn’t read anything on the reading list. C’est la vie.

(This doesn’t mean that I think he was a terrible person. I don’t. Sadly, I think that, aside from some of the things that he did exaggerate about to try to raise his profile, he genuinely believed he was making an important groundbreaking academic contribution - no wonder, given what people kept telling him. That doesn’t make it true though, heartbreaking as it must have been for him to have been found out, and unfair as it is for him to be the poster boy for it. I really feel for his family.)

I am sorry but being a liar and a conman does make you a terrible person.

If there were, I very much doubt they shared Arday’s background.

Lying about a severed pigs head being sent to his house. Calling people who questioned him, racists (and ruining their reputation/s in the process). Who does that... lovely people, I know I know.

I’m going to take a wild stab in the dark and guess that you haven’t lost to anyone close to you to suicide.

Should we stop teaching learner drivers that driving like a twat could end up with you or someone else dying just in case they lost someone in a RTA?

You clearly have no idea of the devastation of losing a loved one to suicide. And probably don’t care from the tone of your post.

And if you think the link between plagiarism and suicide is as clear cut, straightforward and causal as the link between driving like a twat and rta deaths, well, I just don’t know what to say to you.
