    Blair went on to claim that most people support campaigns against racism, but will “recoil from some of the language and actions of the fringes of the Black Lives Matter movement.

    “People like common sense, proportion and reason. They dislike prejudice; but they dislike extremism in combating prejudice.”

    :centrist:

    “On cultural issues, one after another, the Labour Party is being backed into electoral off-putting positions. A progressive party seeking power which looks askance at the likes of Trevor Phillips, Sara Khan or JK Rowling is not going to win,” Blair wrote.

    Who are these other two pe-

    Trevor Phillips is a former politician and broadcaster who was suspended from the Labour Party in 2020 following allegations of Islamophobia, while actress Sarah Khan faced criticism when she said she isn’t a feminist because women “have greater power than men”.

    The hilarious thing is that the policies he is digging out from the end of history consensus are now as far in the past as the "60s style Marxists" he constantly rails against were when it was formed.

    You're getting old Mr Blair, neoliberalism is losing ground across the globe.
