Is Sarah Pochin toast?

I also consider what she said was racist, but worse, unnecessary designed to stir up conflict.  The advertisers are free to use whoever they want to sell their product.  I'm quite happy for them to depict multiracial Britain, or gay/trans friendly (as per London Underground), disability aware etc etc.

From time to time I'll see a more traditional product where everyone in the ad is white.  So??

She’s not just toast, she’s M&S toast.

I wish she was but sadly, probably not.

I assume that GB News has adverts.  Wonder if there is any specification on the types of products and services and a condition on racial and other representation.

Funny, people queuing up to denounce Starmer and Rayner, yet virtually silent when a right wing politician does something wrong.  I'm giving Starmer credit as not being quite yet right wing, but working on it.

Absolute crickets 

starmer is pretty useless and clearly unpopular.  But it’s hard to quite fathom why when compared to his peers 

should Farage get elected he will be even more useless, deeply unpleasant and wi destabilise the country in all manner of ways. But people will still give him a pass they won’t starmer
