That's using the word "attacked" quite loosely though.

The attitudes Boris and his peers have shown to minorities is disgusting, but yet, it gets tolerated cause ‘that’s Boris!’ Is actually really worrying, it shows that this country, the establishment and the media that let them get away with it, isn’t as acceptaing or tolerant as it’s made out to me, we’ll be back in the days of ‘no gays’ or ‘no blacks allowed’ signs outside buildings before long with the rate we’re going imo, we’re at a nauseating place in time

The Main Problem
many examples are old ones
we are not returning to no blacks allowed
never.


If Johnson refuses the BBC TV Andrew Neil Interview
then we will not get new facts?

No one wants a return to that. And yes, there are bigots in the Tory party like there are in society and it is NOT acceptable. But I have to tell you, as a Jewish woman, I don't really want to take part in political discussions on TiBB any more because I feel like I'm singled out and shouted down, I feel belittled, I feel like my voice is worthless... and worst of all, I'm told there's no problem with anti-Semitism... but that the Tories are bigots.

You guys have done a really great job if Shutting up the lone Jewish voice on this forum. Well done.

From Politics Live BBC2HD

A Falkirk Scotland Labour seat
has been suspended over a Jewish post.
So that means no time to replace him

Woah, don’t lump me into whatever problem you seem to have, I’ve never said anything of the sort to you, we’ve always had very open, often charged discussions on things we don’t agree with and you know that, while it’s awful you feel like that, for whatever reason you do, you’re hardly a constant beacon of positivity towards people and their opinions either, you can’t expect everyone to respect you and your opinion, if sometimes you show very little respect the other way.

Not really, cause that’s how it feels to be a minority sometimes in this day, if the rise of the bigoted far right, like in Hungary and Russia, isn’t stopped before it infects Britain more than it already has, then that’s where we’ll be headed I’m afraid

You could replace attacked with denigrated, mocked, disenfranchised, stereotyped or prejudged then.

Isn't that the role of political commentators?

Boris Johnson is on course for a comfortable majority, according to a polling model that accurately predicted the election outcome two years ago.

The Conservatives would win 359 seats, Labour 211, the SNP 43 and the Liberal Democrats 13 if the election were held today, according to a seat-by-seat analysis based on polling by YouGov for The Times.

That result would give Mr Johnson a majority of 68 as he made gains at Labour’s expense, particularly in the Midlands and north of England. Labour would suffer its second-worst postwar defeat, with Jeremy Corbyn’s total two above Michael Foot’s in 1983.

The projected margins of victory are below 5 per cent, however, in at least 30 seats predicted to be Conservative. YouGov cautions that a fall…

Strangely that's how I feel too, you want your voice heard but advertise the fact you won't listen to others with whom you disagree.
I personally have never said there is not a problem with antisemitism, as a lone voice on here of course you have every right to your opinion it does not however naturally follow that others will agree with that veiw.

I think there's a valid point in that tolerance of certain groups is in the decline to the point where attacks are becoming commonplace, which does smack of regression.

It's important then at this time to be really honest with our selves and acknowledge where this is coming from, whose ideology is it? Where did it originate?

polls have been wrong before, nothing is certain until the votes are counted. All it does is give an indication that labour could do better

To prevent voting apathy.
If they think they are going to win then some voters won’t bother to face the weather come the day of the vote.

I don't agree I think labour are doing better and the polls are wrong.

The stepping up of the slur campaigns as reported today show that there is a worry labour are not as firmly on the back foot as it seems.

Kizzy what will you do when they lose badly on the 12th?
