Do you truly believe that Europe is the only place that advocates for freedom of speech and human rights?

I'm glad to hear it. I am doing everything in my capacity to help with the repatriation of the empire's illegally pillaged artifacts.

Admittedly that's not a great deal currently though, most of my spare time is spent helping out at the local food bank, as there's a bit of a malnourishment crisis going on in the UK ATM (as I'm sure there is most places tbh. The disparity between rich and poor seems to have grown exponentially since covid and the job market is only compounding the issue).

You guys should have ceded from the crown eons ago; if I had the choice I certainly would. You won't find much love for the monarchy among the working class in Britain.

The irony of an Aussie saying this is palpable.

When are you going to stop the rampant and ongoing persecution of the aboriginal population and the intentional erosion of their way of life?

There's nothing I can do about my ancestors' actions; but you have a real opportunity to enact the change you feel our ancestors should have done at home.

I can't speak for the actions of people that died a century before I existed of course, but I can near enough guarantee that neither I, nor any of my fellow working class citizens have caused any famines in India. (I say near enough; because for all I know there could be some obscure despot running around who just so happens to be from a working class village in Scotland or some shit).

I wholeheartedly agree with the last statement. It is a human condition ultimately; we're seeing the same situation out in the states, where a lot of immigrant families voted in favour of tighter immigration (the "fuck you I got mine" mentality). I suppose you could argue it's due to Americanisation of the people who have migrated, but to me it just highlights the fact that morality isn't based on nationality. I believe brandishing any nationality/ethnicity or race as anything other than human only perpetuates 'us and them' mentalities, and I believe it's by design.

Until the world wakes up and realises it's not north Vs south or east Vs west; but rather rich Vs poor, nothing will change.

Ah so thats your basis for responsibility, not action, but circumstances.

What if that British newborn was born to Indian parents? are they now both responsible and a victim of their own doing?

I didn't see anyone rejecting the spoils of plunder

There are plenty here who agree with you, unfortunately they're too busy trying to survive the same persecutions you're angry at them for supposedly perpetrating. The working class in the UK have absolutely no say in any of what you're campaigning about; but your narrative of "fuck British people because they were born British" does nothing but alienate them from your cause.

It becomes a case of "damned if I do, damned if I don't"

So what you're telling me is it's still a legal argument.

He saw Stephen King get called a nonce for claiming the list didn't exist and saw an opportunity.

I believe this was actually more nefarious than simply 'your son was only worth this kitchen appliance'. As I understand it this publicity stunt was an attempt to displace media articles about the "russian meat grinder" (referring to their losses in their assaults on Ukraine).
