Also defended a party donor who said all black women should be killed

So this happened a while ago and it turns out the person in question only wanted the specific black mp to be shot and that it made him a hate all black women.

The Conservative Party leader labelled this comment as trivia and refused to reject his donations

Is that the same Charlie Stross that writes the James-bond-meets-Cthulhu-IT-worker books?

The Laundry Files! Never heard about it, added to my reading list.

They’re pretty fun little books, fairly unique little setup.

That Badenoch name certainly sounds very Bondish...

As what often happens when people who aren't white and male try to join these sorts of country clubs, they have to be even more extreme in order to prove they're "one of the good ones."

Edit: spelling

There's no hope for Britain. Scotland and n. Ireland can still save themselves if they leave the sinking ship

Remember, fellas: There's more of you than England. If Scotland, Treasonous Ireland, Wales, and Cornwall all decide to leave there's nothing the limey redcoat gits can do about it.

Northern Ireland is a little different, but if any of the others want a hope in hell they'd need to join the EU, as they'd need to get grants to replace all the tax money generated by London.

This is where NI comes back in because you may have noticed having a land border with no infrastructure is a pretty massive issue for EU membership.

Scottish/Cornish independence is driven by the same blind nationalism and self-exceptionalism that created Brexit, as well as the same sentiments of 'something has to change, might as well be that'. We need to stop this isolationism and embrace the union in a way that works for all the devolved nations, as well as push Westminster for a serious rejoin conversation for the whole UK before the next GE.

I am going to wipe England off all the maps I own and pretend it doesn't exist.

Treasonous Ireland? We used to call it the Free State

I think he was on about Norn Iron, not The Republic.

There's so much potential, and it's all being thrown in the gutter.

As a person in the UK, please don't remind me of the UK in general.
