Yes, I've seen some of the abuse on this site for the stance I've taken. But it won't change my belief that this motion is gesture politics of the kind you might find in a students' union. Except in this case it has real and damaging consequences - that are already playing out. A massive self-own.

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

Just a disaster from every angle. Shame on Cambridge - the damage they have done to every black student in their care and who was thinking of applying to them. And, beyond that, to the academic credentials of black students more generally. Awful on all counts. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

It's a racket, like every policy of the radical right. Which now includes the Conservative Party under Kemi Badenoch, as well as Reform, Republicans etc. Everything they say they want to do for our sake they are in fact doing for the sake of the rich and powerful.
