- I try not to be alarmist about Labour but if you're not white, the phrase 'island of strangers' tells an immediate story about how the government classifies you
- Notably the Anglo-Saxon name for the Welsh (although probably not Anglo-Saxon in origin) wealhas, or strangers/foreigners (despite that in their own land). After 1500 years, the English are still using the same terminology to describe people in their own land. No better case of inbuilt racism.May 12, 2025 11:07
