Not that surprising is it? The constituency is largely a mix between the old and the uneducated. It's also incredibly white which tends to trend towards higher racism.
Brexit.
Yes, divide and rule is how they rule over the "plebs". Has worked for centuries on various topics and continents.
It's because of the right wing media and politicians whipping up racial and religious hatred after these events rather than pointing out it is a tiny minority of Muslims.

As expected then.
It was obvious from the moment they threw all their eggs in Sue Gray’s basket that they were going to be in complete control of the release of the report.
Pretty sure "no blacks, no Irish, no dogs" type sentiment pre-dates the Troubles by a long way...1950s or so. And anti-Irish sentiment was around long before their struggles for independence started as well https://victorianweb.org/history/race/Racism.html
They're being dumb again. They've talked through report up too much now to get away with hiding the results. I'm sure they'll certainly try to obfuscate but I don't see it working.
We all know how this works. They will release excerpts, people will rage, and after a few days they'll finally release the whole thing. The report will stop short of saying that Johnson is a lying scummy scummerson anyway so Boris will live to fight another day. They just want to keep stretching this out as much as possible in the hopes that Putin will invade Ukraine and the spotlight is off their mop headed overlord.
It’s the Mueller report all over again.
TOTAL EXONERATION!
The report will establish facts, the idea is that government officials are supposed to take accountability. This government doesn’t. So the facts will be reframed by the government and released how they want them released and nobody will take any accountability.

Boris doesnt give a shit. Mr Teflon rides again and the British public just lap it up.
Nah, the Tories aren't in lockstep like the Republicans. Boris will try and release a headline that makes him look less bad, but then people who want his job will leak the thing or brief harmful details and then the whole thing will come out and burn him. He just doesn't have enough support from his party for them to help him cover it up. They know that if they go into the local elections with him in charge they're going to get massacred.
Racism is bad, unless its against Muslims, how media portrays it.
Nothing wrong with telling the truth...
Hmm. Not sure about that.
His behaviour, constant lies and taking the piss out of the public has damaged him badly.
And his invincibly will never be the same.
Unless its about a party that happened when the whole country was told not to meet other people? Or when you need to drive to check if your eyes were ok to travel 2/300 miles back home when you weren't meant to be leaving your house? Etc etc
I welcome the enquiry and support full EHRC enquiry with subsequent prosecution if its shown to be even half as bad as labour was under corbyn.

Any racism from any side is unacceptable.
Yes.
Just seems that there was a lot more squealing and shouting when it was all Jezzas fault, but with Bojo and his party not so much.
They should say they'll release it when the Forde Report gets published in full.
Well if we're bring brutally honest I'd go as far as to say that Islamaphobia is actually a vote winner for large swathes of their voter base, to such an extent that it wouldn't surprise me if they got a much needed bump in the polls with this news.
Very much so, especially in the northern parts of Europe. In many of those countries muslims are painted by the conservative right-wing as the main problem causing several social problems like criminality, unemployment etc and it's working as those parties are gaining ground.
My work takes me around many parts of Europe for prolonged periods of time and in some countries the islamaphobia is ridicolous, had a conversation once on the subject with fellow colleagues in a northern European country (let's leave it un-named) and they talked passionately about how Islam threatened their culture and way of living, it was like watching a movie about WW2 and the Nazis, scary as feck.
I don't think it'll matter too much if they do go that route. I'm fairly confident Cummings has a lot of evidence piled up as it seems other Tories are using him to leak what they know. The Tories will claim a victory then a few days later once they've doubled down on it we'll have the real news.
The only ones defending Boris are the nutters like Fabricant which is always a telling sign.
Only one poll but down to single digits
There's always a worry with these story that in the end the general public just get bored and go back to the same voting patterns.

+4?!?!? The British public are embarrassing, memories of a goldfish, none of this matters, the tories can go around stabbing babies but Kier starmer will drip some ketchup onto his tie a week before the election and that will be that.
Boris had a birthday party during lockdown...
Did he know that it was a party though? 
You'd think this would finish him off, but nope...
Did he know that it was a party though?
It was a surprise party so clearly he has no responsibility for it. He left as soon as he realized it was a party and against the rules, which was just after he finished his cake.
To be fair mate he didn’t know it was against his rules.It was a surprise party so clearly he has no responsibility for it. He left as soon as he realized it was a party and against the rules, which was just after he finished his cake.
CON +3
If Starmer doesn't start toning it down, someone will get the police involved.
Cake + Singing = Not party apparently
No doubt she’ll find a way to frame this as a culture war, most likely instigated by the BBC!
Doesn't count as having a birthday party with a clown if the clown is the birthday boy
After the surprise party he then apparently hosted more people upstairs in No.10.
Yeah he's done. He's not going to survive the Grey report.
The takedown has been wonderfully professional. I'm assuming it was Cummings behind it all. The timing of each release has been just exquisite.
