    Well, exactly. She isn't in blackface at all, just has a silly joke shop helmet on and a false beard.

    She's drawn a beard on and worn a hat, I'm not sure that qualifies.

    Hence my second sentence. My initial response was to what seemed to be general ignorance as to why it's not advisable to dress up as a black person.

    I always thought blackface/blacking up differed from painting your face black in that it also included acting like a racial stereotype. If that is the case then Mr. T creates a problem there because he acts like one himself, and if you dressed like him but spoke normally in an attempt to avoid it you could be erasing his identity.

    That seems like a great way to stop White children from having Black role models.

    Children like to dress up as their idols. This isn't news. And we're not talking about blacking up, he said dressing up.

    Fancy dress is the worst thing in the world ever, but if you're now no longer allowed to go as a black person (even sans the boot polish), then hopefully it'll spell the death of it.

    In a conversation about blackface, I'm pretty sure we can assume what's implied by 'dressing up'.

    Spikey has definitely gone knee deep on a jar of shoe polish and is trying to justify himself.

    That must have been hard having a black role model as a parent and not be able to go blackface to show them how much they meant to you.

    "Blacking up" has quite clearly been flagged as not ok by all participants and was so within about 5 posts.

    Haven't seen it discussed anywhere else, but Corbyn's suspension from the Labour Party seems to be melting down Labour voters quite efficiently.

    It will get worse and people will become further disillusioned. I feel that we'll be rioting in a few years and the army will be forced to patrol the streets. I'm convinced of it, in fact.
    Then along comes Covid to speed it up.

    Both main parties are done for. Starmer is basically a Tory in red and the Tories are the Tories.

    Corbyn would have won the election if Labour never faffed about with their stance on Brexit, anti-semitism or not.

    Corbyn would not have won any election in any conceivable timeline, but Starmer possibly could do.

    Starmer is useless and if he did it would be purely because the Conservatives have fucked this up royally so it would be by default rather than design.

    I thought Dom would wait for Boris to die/go completely ga-ga before blowing up the building and installing Gove.

    He's easy to mock / hate, but he's also the reason they became relevant to vast swathes of the country to whom they previously offered nothing. Without him they will once again return to offering them nothing, as the stupid cunt wankers in the 'parliamentary party' are the biggest load of thick cunts going, and most of the front bench aren't much better.

    In other words it's bad news for people who don't want Labour in government.

    Labour would have to have Lenin's reanimated corpse as leader next time to not win, even then it'd be 50/50.

    Aside from when Clegg stole my vote with a load of bullshit, I have always voted Labour, but the next election will be the first time I've done so without a load of dithering beforehand. It's not even close, this shower of cunts need to be gone pronto and Starmer is about 15 times the man Boris is.

    80 maj spread across various regions will need a reasonable amount of yakka to overturn, but I'd make them narrow favourites with the sensible strategy Keir appears to have. The one issue they may have is if Sunak becomes leader before then he will do far better than Boris would. You can already see Starmer going after Sunak quite readily, more so than he goes after Boris.

    I had always voted Tory up until the last election. Due to lack of options I voted Lib Dem as I refused to give my vote to Corbyn. Next time barring Starmer doing something absolutely mental or the Tories getting rid of Boris and putting someone competent in charge(is there even anyone who is) I will be voting Labour. Not because I am a communist but because the front bench of the Tory party at the minute is absolutely fucking useless.

    Once again I will be voting for what I feel I will be voting for the least worst option and it feels like I have done so everytime I have voted for the last ten years.

    He doesn't even have to try with Boris it's just a case of leaving him to himself. Imbecile is gonna imbecile.

    I'm pretty sure the only time I voted Labour was the mayoral elections. Otherwise been Libs or Green.

    It's not great timing given that the pandemic has proven everything he ever said about the government machinery, and it suggests that the Conservative Party intends to retreat into being a waste of space after Brexit (and wasting its opportunities); but the Labour Party still aren't winning the next election.

    How many of the 80 Majority were northern slums they'll never win again? Marcus Rushford must have flipped about 20 on his own.
