i listened to the press conference in the car (carried live on radio 5), some of the stuff they came out had some serious racist undertones. he also rowed back on his attempts to temper his comments on sadik khan and instead doubled down on them. but its okay as they are right wing, and they are against anti-semitism. all this live on the national radio and TV. would galloway be even given a fraction of that exposure ? then we had caller after caller agreeing with Lee, (need to stop the boats, theres too many of them (?), Islamism is a threat etc - all this feeds into the 'i want my country back' - with I being the white englishman) would they have allowed 30 mins of callers coming out with anti-semetic nonsense.

having been born and brought up in this country, i feel far less welcome here than i ever have. but i doubt right wing MPs will bring it up in parliament or the troy press will be doing articles on my anxiety.
 
I know what he's getting at. Reading his comments makes me want to hate all elitist, white, ten chinned, jabba the hutt looking, pony fecking dickheads.

Can't find this story anywhere on the BBC. Now, imagine if someone like Mick Lynch had made comments like that about a rabbi.
 
I have a very warm opinion of Diane Abbott from the time that formed my early political views.

There is a reason why she gets half of all of the abusive communications that MPs receives.. the clue is in those comments by the Torie donor.

Will the Tories disavow? Hmm

Nah, would cost them too much so they will just waffle and obfuscate.
 
Diane made a few slip ups on national TV during election period & is a black woman - abusing her has become so normalised that this will cause a few headlines for a day or 2 and things will go back to normal; where it’s okay to hurl abuse & insults her way anytime she says something.

I’ll actually be shocked if Starmer says anything in defence of her
 
How the feck can a political donor hold government contracts?
That's how its always worked. Those 'donations' aren't free or without condition, they're essentially glorified bids for contracts. Clearly this bigoted Hutt has done well with his £10million 'bid'.

You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours - although when the likes of us do it it's known as bribery

I didn’t know she still gets abused. Is she still an MP? She’s barely in the news and over 70, surely. Sounds like a fixation.

It"s worse than that, in most other industries its considered collusion/fraud.

It won't change as i expect all sides at westminster are happy with the arrangement.
 
A senior minister has said a top Tory donor's alleged comments about Diane Abbott "were clearly inappropriate" but people should "move on".

Mel Stride said Frank Hester's alleged comments the MP made him "want to hate all black women" were not "race-based".

Mr Hester has apologised for making "rude" comments about Ms Abbott but his remarks "had nothing to do with her gender nor colour of skin".

Am I having a fecking stroke?

It's still a bit strange though, as there's very strict laws on it. I'm guessing parliament must fall outside of those laws as there's no way it's allowed in a normal workplace (at least so openly).

People can just make up any old shit now, even if its a super obvious lie.

Though there's clearly a subset of the population who believe that racism can only be racism if you're lynching KKK style.
 

:lol:

anyway, all of this is predictable & exhausting


It’s not even at the funny ‘satire is dead’ point anymore. This is just disgusting and it boils my blood how little consequence there is for shit like this currently.
