At least Johnson had the humility to apologise for the offence they caused Not heard the other references you posted, but the letterbox comment is something folk have used for ages. It's not a far fetched analogy, but perhaps a little course for a senior MP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting you mention Ilhan Omar, she had to apologise for anti Semitic remarks didn’t she ? What are folks thoughts about her for those remarks ? In case people missed it, I’ve agreed Trump’s remarks are totally indefensible, will his apology count like hers did ? Has Trump apologised yet, last I heard he was suggesting the "victims" (if that's what they are) should actually apologise to him. If he does get around to apologising, then of course his apology should count just as much as hers did. Both of them should know better considering their respective jobs, and bearing in mind we're supposed to be living in the 21st Century Edited July 15, 2019 by Sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably should, or at least try and clarify what he meant (if he meant something else) - he won't though, as its probably increased his ratings amongst his target market, and he pretty much didn't give a fuck what people think about him, he'll end up spinning it, or trying to, that he's the one being wronged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted July 15, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted July 15, 2019 What did she say? I don't get antisemitism, especially in the UK as they represent a very low number of our population. However, I do not agree with some that say that to disagree with Israel's policy in regards to their borders, settlements and treatment of Palestinians is antisemitic, I believe it is not.

People who try to pretend that not being racist is "extremist" are also racist. Its time we faced facts, there are a lot of racist people in society generally. We've tried the softly softly approach - but these people persist. And have done for decades. Perhaps its time to actually straight out just stop tolerating them? Their views are abhorrent and have no place in society anymore. Have I read that right? People who support Him are racist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) I don't support him, but I do get his "if you don't like it here, then fuck off". The other aspect isn't good.

miamiwhite Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I see where you and Winchester are coming from, but her tweets were nothing to do with borders,settlements etc even though she was a supporter of the BDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
