Not all white ppl support trump/are racist but pretty much all people who support trump/are racist are white.They don't represent the views of all white people.

I mean, when your continental room mate is a violent drunk high on meth and considerably larger, what do you do?This could become the pause heard 'round the world.

So they've given a guide to how to present someone's spoken words with the maximum seeming credibility while flat out lying about what was said.Fascinating thread on how people's words are reported on the meda and the relationship between the report and the actual words uttered:
It highlighted for me a lot of things I knew already about the nature of reported speech (a topic in which I've always been interested, along with the instrumental use of language in general) but I had never really looked at them so systematically.
Since they're neither poor nor black, that's maybe not so great a risk as it might be, but certainly the announcement is pretty vague on the path to full citizenship.I'm sure they'll get Windrushed out the door sooner or later.
I expect he's looking after old friends like HSBC (or that's where he has his overdraft...).For once, Boris Johnson appears to do the right thing

I was also affected by that wicked witch's messing around with who was, or was not, a British Citizen.There is also a streak of guilt that runs through the Conservative party about its treatment of Hong Kong citizens, and an admission that, under the leadership of Margaret Thatcher, the great cold warrior, it placed the people of Hong Kong into the hands of the Chinese Communist party in 1994.
After the handover, Hong Kong citizens ended up with a jerry-built halfway house. They could hold a British national overseas passport, providing them consular assistance and protection through UK diplomatic posts, but they would not have the automatic right to live or work in the UK. Those born after 1997 would have no rights.
