an unfortunate update from cllr anwar, posted on his twitter
this is ammar anwar, a councillor in kirklees who resigned from the labour party over starmer’s support for the apartheid state of so-called israel. i only wish more politicians had his courage.
Deeply invested in the idea that karma is alive and real in the 21st century and it exists in the form of causing the monarchy to die and be reborn as Trisha paytas’s children
Americans genuinely cannot comprehend how seriously Europeans take partying. I didn't comprehend it until I was there, and able to observe how all European infrastructure is built around supporting the public right to cross three national borders to go to an illegal rave in a world war ii ruin while chain-smoking and drinking Club Mate. this sounds like a joke but I'm not kidding Europeans never mention it because to them it's normal, Americans never mention it because we can't conceive of a world where bars don't bodily throw you out the front doors at 1:45am to drive home drunk (the busses stopped running at 10pm and there are no trains) because if they don't they will be fined millions of dollars by the city and raided by police for violating the municipal Gay in Public ordinance which persists on the books of the "most progressive city in the country"
