I think racism is the left's last stand. It's trivial to twist people's words out of context. It's impossible to disprove, other than by boring statistics. In the UK we know who the racists are. Corbyn, Livingstone, Loach, etc. have made that clear to all.
Maybe it's different in the US.

In my constituency all the antifascists are white.

I'm just afraid of the divisions and mutual hatred inspired by Corbyn's rhetoric: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/20 ... FFyYH1Z1Bw

You seem to be implying that Corbyn is responsible..?I'm just afraid of the divisions and mutual hatred inspired by Corbyn's rhetoric: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/20 ... FFyYH1Z1Bw
80% of Scots voted for SNP. I reckon they don't give a damn about either Johnson nor Corbyn.

Re: General Election 2019
Campaigners held placards bearing the slogans "Defy Tory Rule" and chanting "Oh, Jeremy Corbyn” as anti-racist speakers address the crowds.
Re: General Election 2019
I do think Corbyn is largely responsible for the rage, but in a slightly more subtle way. By removing any credible alternative to the Johnson steam train out of Europe, I think you are most likely looking at a generation's worth of hatred and anger. And that's not even counting what will come out of Scotland and NI.
A minor correction regarding Scotland. While the SNP got 80% of the Scottish seats, their share of the votes was 45%.

Nothing imho. They've always been like that.And that's not even counting what will come out of Scotland and NI.
Re: General Election 2019
I'm afraid both have something awkwardly close to 50% who would prefer the EU to the UK and vice versa. There is a lot more modern history of violence in one than the other, but between a revival of Tartan Terrorists and the much more recent militantly violent right wing unionist/protestant groups like the Scottish Defence League, I fear we may enter "the troubled 20's" in both places.

I've searched your photo and remembered this Ukrainian proverb: the pot called the kettle black.
I looked in the mirror - a gazelle
