Remembering Kerry
|
From now to the election and beyond likely.
Anything anyone says from any Party now that has any hint of controversy about it. Will be seized on by opposing Parties. Where the leaders of those Parties desperate to be seen dealing with anything not welcomed quickly. Will result in MPs and Councillors being dropped. I honestly am now of the view, that immaterial of who wins the next election. With the divisions between the 4 Nations of the UK. Plus just how the UK is now with almost anyone having to be careful what they think and say. The UK is on the road to being ungovernable. Unless anyone or groups are advocating violence and real hatred against others.. Then perhaps a little more tolerance and freedom is what's needed. That won't happen and what will happen is, anyone from any Party making the slightest wayward comment will probably end up with their careers ended. Personally I'd rather know what people really think rather than have them paying liip service to a rigid agenda. Thereby being more false. Which it seems now is more acceptable than actually them saying what they think and thereby being honest. I'm not sure which is worse.quite frankly. |

completely agree joey. What life is it when everyone is scared to voice their opinion. Ordinary folk just won't accept that, and I will be right there with them

"Islamiphobic" is one of the most tragic new "phobes" tbh.

I don't think being uneasy with (ideological) islam really counts as "irrational", so calling it a phobia is a bit manipulative.

we shout about all the injustice in Russia and yet every day we allow the UK to become more authoritarian and nobody complains

No one wants to be tarred a racist or an Islamaphobe. East London, where I was born and raised, is unrecognisable. What did East Londoners do when their area was given away to a different culture? We moved out.

BBC News Text :
[Several papers lead on the continued fall out from comments made by MP Lee Anderson, who was suspended from the Conservative parliamentary party over the weekend. "Sunak urged to speak out as Islamophobia row deepens" reads the front of Monday's Guardian. It reports senior members of the Tory party have criticised the "dangerous" rhetoric.] Last edited by arista; 26-02-2024 at 12:35 AM. |

When tories argue that punishing their own for being overtly racist will damage their ‘red wall votes’ they are just calling those voters inherently racist, if (when) they lose the red wall at the election, it will be because of their complete and utter incompetence and contempt for the people they’re supposed to work for, not because they rightfully punished an open bigot for inflammatory racism

Lee spoke to Gary Gibbon of Ch4HDnews
He (Lee) keeps talking about the Protestors outside Parliament last weds. Gary said you should have said it that way. Lee said it's all up to the Conservative Chief Whip? Last edited by arista; 28-02-2024 at 03:50 AM. |

I think he was directly criticising Khan and is perfectly entitled to do that without everyone calling him a racist.
This may well be the line in the sand where free speech fights back |
