The Jews, Irish, Afro Caribbeans, South Asians, Muslims, Eastern Europeans, and now, asylum seekers. I wonder which group will be next for the xenophobes.
Sounds like it could be the plot of a Steve Carell movie.
So my advice is: write it all down. Especially the sassy snapbacks from the black woman friend who is in her twenties!
If you want to know how it ends: Kenan Thompson's character tries to get everyone to make friends again at a barbecue. The 20s black woman, played by Ayo Edibiri,storms out when Steve Carell arrives. Thompson throws down his barbecue tongs in frustration, which makes the lovable Labrador jump up at Carell, he falls backwards into the barbecue, knocking it over and setting fire to the fence.
Just as she is about to get into her car, Ayo spots the flames and smoke, and runs back to the garden. She finds Carell and Thompson dousing the flames, but realises she does care for them really. Everybody hugs.
And there was I thinking of myself as the Joseph Gordon-Levitt type...but seriously, try not to get involved with significantly younger women. I smiled when I got the invective filled WhatsApp but over time I have realised I really hurt her and deeply regret it.
As 55 year old avowed leftie who has lived In the south east all my life it's a depressing place to be right now. Anyone asked the multinationals to pay the tax they've studiously "avoided" for years that would likely help!
Anyone know what’s the proper etiquette? Is it Stella first and then paint a roundabout or paint the roundabout and then crack open a can of Stella?
It’s very easy to sneer, but it’s a properly thought out process involving layers of strategic thinking and planning.
First off, get a crate of something proper British like Stella or Carlsberg, none of that foreign muck…
Hang some Union Jacks upside down somewhere prominent.
Head for the nearest Travelodge and start chanting.
Defend the birthright of the indigenous population at all costs by ensuring correct ingress and egress of traffic approaching and leaving the roundabout you’re popping your top coat of Dulux on.
Get very overheated and angry as the fizz kicks in, but be ready to have it away on your toes when plod finally rolls up to make a ‘two-tier’ example of us.
Think that covers it.

Sometimes I giggle about the frothing lunatic who’s put me on ignore and now has to constantly log out to see what I’ve said. Beneath that counterfeit persona lurks the same pitifully desperate egomaniac.

Then pop a few quid into Tommy’s Go Fund Me, for a new Stone Island Jacket.

That’s attracted the disapproval of something called ‘bluebudgie’ with its usual mute downvote.
I assume it’s some sort of Norwich/Ipswich hybrid with a beak in each camp, seething away quietly at the erosion of indigenous white privilege in a half and half scarf.
Come on, don’t be coy, tweet up and share your concerns, we’re all friends here…

have I upset the privileged, ex-pat, once again, pushing his simplistic, divisive view of working-class Brits?
You seem to have invented that in your head. Noggers hasn’t referred to white working class Brits. Texters made that “simplistic, divisive” leap and you’ve jumped on it. Anyone can be xenophobic and/or racist irrespective of skin colour or social background. Some of the significant characters leading the tilt towards xenophobia and racism in the UK have been very privileged and not always white (e.g. Braverman and Patel in government, and Farage’s ex-mate Yusuf, all privileged and 2nd gen immigrants themselves; Farage himself, privileged, etc).
He is taking the piss out of people, of any background, who abuse others on the basis of race though.

I saw a St George’s cross on a mini roundabout in Swansea the other day. Thick as mince. Although in fairness you’d probably need an art degree to produce a passable impression of the Welsh flag with a paint roller.
