I was born and grew up in the middle east myself.

I have never abused anyone and as per my comment that he quoted I've acknowledged that any unease felt in that scenario was irrational on my own part.

Acknowledging your own inbuilt prejudices and rationalising them is an important thing to do. The post you quoted is an emotion I've experienced. In my post I acknowledge that it was irrational.

And was part of a larger part in which you didn't mention 9/11 no that it was only prejudice in singular time but part of a larger feeling. So I think you are pulling some strokes to justify it TBH. But there we are.
At least we got there in the end

I think the stereotype i painted in that post is an example of something that can cause unease and 9/11 was certainly the root cause of the unease someone might feel in relation to that stereotype. Unconscious bias is often routed in a stereotype that we've been exposed to that has been associated with something negative and dangerous and this is a normal animalistic threat response. Part of the goal of 9/11 was to create tension within western communities and increase radicalisation and isolation of Muslim communities.

Starmer is not good at politics. I had fairly low expectations for him, but he's managing to make the situation worse with every utterance. At this stage, I think he might rock up and shout at a few hotels himself. Bizarre to think he was a human rights lawyer at one point.

He has joined the quick win phalanx without any verve of how to truly grift people, he is in the major leagues of grifter with Farage and Co, he needs to up it or get out

Farage is in a league of his own. He has been anointed to lead the UK version of the MAGA 2025 project, and Starmer is playing right into his hands.

He is utterly useless. And unpopular. The reason he is so unpopular is that he is utterly useless AND inconsistent. What does he actually stand for and why is he even here? The journey from human rights lawyer to "island of strangers, send em home" is a case in point. He and his cabinet look like rabbits in headlights and have done since they got into office: immigration policy isn't even the worst example of this. "We're going to reform welfare......oh actually no we're not...." encapsulates it, complete with Rachel in tears on the front bench.
join us for episode two in the Autumn budget where the tax pledges are on the bonfire, Rachel's sat on a chair at the top playing the guy and Starmer's rocked up to the party with a box of firelighters, and a box of matches
