Oxford Reform UK has invited Nathan Cofnas, who launched a witch-hunt against Professor Jason Arday and wrote a blog post arguing that, in a meritocracy, Black people would largely be absent from prominent positions outside sports and entertainment, to “discuss DEI and its impact on higher education and academic freedom.”

🚨 WATCH: Kemi Badenoch accuses Reform UK of debating "whether my mixed race children are English" "I don't want to explain to my son when we're watching our brilliant English team play football that some people don't think that black players are English"

Mamdani: Thirty years from now, when our city is dancing to a beat we cannot imagine, or taking in art more creative than anything we’ve ever seen, it will be in no small part because the children of this city had the support and the public goods they needed to succeed. The parks in which they could play, the public transit they could ride to visit new worlds, and the universal childcare they could rely upon to learn, to grow, to become themselves. And while we may have some more gray hair then, we will know that progress was made, that greatness was made possible because of a program like this one. Because government provided its people with the foundation to succeed. And because, and I say this specifically to all of the providers and the advocates, because you were willing to believe once again that something different could happen.

A lot to unpack. Jenrick, as a Tory watched as the PPE scandal and routine theft of British assets sold to mates happened. Billions of pounds. Shop theft is a problem and never justifiable. But the kind of defunding, austerity, destruction of communities via managed decline, over decades leads to the woman we see on the video. She is obviously malnourished, she literally looks like a thousand people we all see on towns across the country. Desperate, feral, uncaring and looking very poorly indeed. Living in communities who've been left behind. Again, theft is wrong. But this clout chasing bastard "outing" people who are symptom of 40 years of Tory policy, is as we say in Cannock, "a cunt's trick". When a country invests in its people, doesn't create managed decline creating feral, outside of the law micro communities, doesn't invest in schools, civics, inclusion, and allows the cancer of exploiting benefits to flourish, this is what we get. A woman being hounded for clout when he should be hounding Michelle Mone in Monaco. Fucking bastard.

You’ve called me racist this evening- albeit in a contorted way- but in doing so, you’ve lowered the tone of the debate with divisive and inflammatory language. And absurdly, you’re suggesting that I’m being racist against myself. It’s because of irresponsible language like yours that we in Reform need security. The left can keep smearing us as racist for challenging the cosy consensus on mass migration but we will not be bullied into silence.

Today, Nevis, an eastern Caribbean island of 13,000 people, marks 43 years free from British rule. A Belgian crypto billionaire wants one-tenth of Nevis: 2,400 acres, his own currency, his own courts and 10,000 new residents. This is crypto-colonialism. Nevisians are saying no.
