His point is that he believes this country should be for white people. Let's call a spade a spade here. Brown immigrants are all potential criminals so should be protested against and demeaned and treated poorly until they get the hint to fvck off. Meanwhile, home grown criminals? No preemptive or preventative action needed there.

How does it justify the protests? Should we protest preemptively at schools around the country, given teachers are frequently identified as paedophiles?

Thats a kind of tragic TR even with a win into it. I wonder who she plays (I don't want to know if advance tho)

If we have skull I'm never using anything else I like 100. I know thumb can be seen as sarcastic but I kinda see it as standard agree and 100 as strong agree or like 'great point' I would like an eyes emoji 👀 but only bc thats also one of my most used ones. It might not fit on here. Normally I would use it for something sus but you could also use it for sceptisim? Are there any buzzjack history based ones I'm forgetting about that are really obvious?

Idk I just feel like fans will be like, we know Bernie can bring it but she's underperforming, whereas Siam and Yuhua didn't really do well enough the first time round to be guaranteed a second shot and they're both kinda squandering it.

True but at least Bernie did well her first season whereas Siam and Yuhua did... whatever that was.

People are going to rage at Yuhua and Siam outlasting Bernie next week if they don't pull something out of the bag

Welcome to the stage... Megan Mia Gemini

I looked it up I have great taste :D its a classic

I've been looking for this thread for ages but I thought it was in Dance Well. Find Xanadu became one of my most played tracks of the year. It's gorgeous. Cinnamon Light is good too. Think the whole album will be a grower. I saw her live earlier in the year supporting Scissor Sisters and she was much better than last time I saw her about a decade ago. Either her mic was pitched or she's really worked on her range.

I thought it would have to be Bernie because Bernie going the next week makes no sense unless its not her first bottom. I wonder if she really flops both episodes. Her runway look was underwhelming for E3

Yuhua is really being such an asshole, I hope she turns it around.

Gah I've forgotten what i entered

Pretty good draw for me! Its a rockiER entry for me this time but not as metaly as I've gone before

What people also seem to miss with the whole 'why are they in hotels' line. They aren't really in hotels in the sense of anything like Travelodge, Premier Inn, Ibis, Marriott. They're in dorm-style rooms sharing with either their family group or strangers, more like hostels at the most. And asylum seekers aren't the only kind of people living like that. Due to as Iz says the Tory government's gutting and cutting of institutions that offer support to people struggling, over 10,000 families in the UK who have been made homeless are also living in such accommodations. Some of you might remember a documentary that aired 5 or so years ago about such people; living in hotel rooms and B&Bs, trying to cook meals for their kids on 2 ring plug-in hobs balanced on top of chest of drawers, storing all their worldly posessions in boxes on top of the wardrobes and under the bed, having to live basically like hoarders because there were no council houses available. There's no council houses available for British citizens struggling, so there's even less available for people fleeing war, famine, persecution etc. in other countries.

I've probably made a mental health mistake doing this but I've got into it arguing about the migrant hotels online this week. There's just so much misinformation and I can't stand it. Here's what the right-wing media are claiming: A luxury hotel paid for by taxpayers housing 150 criminal migrants (or insert slur here) is being kept open in Epping because a liberal judge silenced the entire population protesting against it. Its full of criminals that are allowed to roam free and the police are arresting and silencing anyone that protests. And here's what's ACTUALLY happening based on what I've gathered by thoroughly researching multiple reports on it and cutting through the emotive bs: A 'hotel' made from ex-council flats converted is currently being used as temporary housing for 150 migrants in Epping, UK, while the government processes their claims and decides if they can stay in the UK or must be sent back. About 100-200 people out of the 11k that live in Epping (1-2% of the total population) are protesting against this for various reasons, primarily that they believe all of the people in the hotel to be criminals. This is not proven. There have been a total of two criminal charges brought against the 150 residents. (Just over 1% of the total population within the residence). One charge was for fighting with the other migrants inside the hotel, a physical altercation. The other was for attempting to kiss a 14 year old girl in public. The migrant accused of the latter charge denies it and says he just said hello to the girl in question. At the protests against the hotel there is a lot of racism and calls for violence against the people living in the hotel. The protesters collectively blame the people in the hotel for the one alleged assault. The protesters are uniformly white, as seen in media clips. The protesters have assaulted multiple security guards at the hotel, which has led to some arrests. A judge has declared that the protestors, due to their behaviour, are in the wrong and that the government must not close the hotel due to the protestors' actions only. It is only the protestors' biased perspective that this is any kind of infringement of their rights.

🤷‍♂️ idk what the vibe is on twitter etc as i don't have it but as far as I'm concerned this is a safe space to take the piss out of it or whichever other franchise or queen is being the cringe of the day

They killed the promo as usual I'm just looking forward to 10 more hours of Ana Locking!

God forbid drag race fans would enjoy being shady!

Imagine Beverly gets to eliminate her

No, that isn't my position, broadly. (Although - if you yourself do believe in judging people before they do anything, I question what the limitations on that are?) My position actually doesn't have anything at all to do with prejudice, but moreso about logic and proof. These protests against asylum seekers are based on judging an entire group of people based on the actions of a small minority. Now, if that's what someone wants to do, I think fine - as long as they're logically consistent. If they really believed for example in the safety of women and girls above all else, all men should be locked up or deported from this country, because men are time and time again the single largest and dominant determining factor of who is killing people, raping people, and in the vast majority of cases, being serial killers, serial sex assaulters, paedophiles, and all manner of other sadistic and controlling behaviours. But generally, the people of the country (spearheaded of course by men who have a vested interest in it) judge that that would be ridiculous, and so it doesn't happen. Likewise we could ban cars to immediately halt all road deaths. Ban the use of electricity to immediately stop all electrical fires and electrocutions. And so on and so forth. Now, when it comes to asylum seekers, my primary position on it all is legal, rather than wishy washy sympathy based etc. The UK as a country has signed legal agreements to take X number of asylum seekers. If it were to break these agreements it would lose the trust of the countries it has those agreements with; which would have immediate knock-ons to other things the UK - especially as an island nation - has a dependency on; food; electricity; trade routes, as well as things like reciprocal defence agreements, use of airspace and sea etc. etc. So therefore the UK is somewhat stuck regarding taking asylum seekers, so that is already baked in. Then what does it do with them? Well, the Tories already cut a bunch of processing plants and their staff, and over their administration closed a lot of general institutions like barracks and hospitals, promising to replace them with new and improved buildings that never materialised. So infrastructure wise, the country only barely already has enough bed spaces for grievously ill patients, never mind patients with minor conditions or mental health struggles, and beyond those, certainly no space for asylum seekers. So that begs the question of where to put asylum seekers, and hotels are pretty much the only available source left of beds that aren't already ringfenced for a vital public-facing function. So, they've put asylum seekers in hotels that are mostly more like dorms, ok, fine. So what happens once they're in the hotels? Well, in the background at that point, government workers while the asylum seekers are housed in the hotels then start the process of doing the vetting and the background checks. Do people not realise this? The hotel placement isn't the end of the process, it's the closest thing available for the government to use as a kind of 'holding pen' while they process them. The reason that they are held in one place like this and have to sign in and out etc. is so that the government doesn't lose track of them while this is going on. That's the entire purpose of the hotels. Now, meanwhile, we have protests against the hotels. Why? Because Farage, Robinson and co are lying about the purpose of them. They're making out that it's some kind of luxury hotel experience paid for by the British taxpayer, not something as it actually is, a step down from student halls. And you know what? I'm not even complaining about that. It's basic, and basic is probably better than where they came from if they escaped somewhere like Gaza or similar to come here. Now, the world is getting hotter and more dangerous between climate change and other war and hate-filled situations. The issue of asylum seekers isn't going to change, and at present the West and the UN have binding agreements about taking a certain percentage of them in. So really, complaining about them and even prejudging them and trying to start a drama isn't actually going to do anything in the short term. The best thing someone who has an issue with asylum seekers or a concern that they might not follow or understand the laws of this country can do is campaign for something actually practical like making them take a civics program or something similar to 'life in the UK' test or even something like community service, while they are going to be just sitting around in the hotels twiddling their thumbs anyway. Just to note before I sign off this essay. The attitude towards asylum seekers and refugees used to be in this country 'good! we're taking heathens out of their backwards countries and making them civilized British people'. While that attitude is somewhat demeaning and negative towards other cultures today - I think we could do with something more of that kind of spirit as a nation. The framing that Reform are giving - and the emotions they want their followers to feel - are resoundingly, over and over again, negative. There could well be an alternate take here of Britain the hero, Britain the rescuer, helping new people become patriots. And just to close. Once the processing has been done of those asylum seekers. If any have committed crimes during the process. Or if they seem to be behaving in a threatening manner. Or if a background check shows up that actually they aren't fleeing persecution and they were the persecuter. I would like to see that punished to the full extent of the law. And you know what? Probably so do their fellow asylum seekers because these guys are causing them all to be painted with the same bad brush. Where are the actual voices of asylum seekers in this? They're the centre of this topic and yet are only talked about as if they were animals or a natural disaster. Interview them through a translator and let's hear what they really think and what they really want to be doing.

Watch them cast Queen Kong and Kitty Scott Claws again

STOVE? You're kidding

For the sheer campness of it I'd love to see Madame Yoko and La Kahena get cast again just to ensure they can't BOTH be the first out again
