‘I have never ‘directly’ racially abused anyone’ Farage. Who’s backing Reform ?
https://x.com/implausibleblog/status/1994901273091375170?s=20

What I can never understand is that people who see themselves as highly principled, truthful and sure of their views can never just admit they're racists, why not.

We all know there are racists and we've seen some of them rioting, etc, but they never just say 'Yes I'm a racist'.

It's not against the law and they're perfectly entitled to say so ...

... but they pretend it has something to do with the poor farmers, energy costs or fishing quotas.

The likes of Farage, Tice, Robinson, etc are cowards because they know what they are while stamping their feet if it's mentioned.

The people who support them are in on the pretence and they're even more cowardly because they have the anonymity of forums.

If you're a racist be proud to say so, don't cower behind vague insinuations, faux indignation and word play ... just man up ffs!

I always think the same. Eg don’t call at Tommeh a racist. He used to be in the BNP ffs. I also find it curious that many who criticise other cultures stay as far away from them as possible and accuse them of not integrating. Then order a curry.

I lived in Nice where they have Riviera Radio, English grocers, a British newspaper, websites with listings of British tradesmen, celebrate St Patrick's day as if they're all Irish and get their kids to order in restaurants because they don't bother to learn the language. They frequent Brit pubs, mix with Brits and watch nothing but UK TV.

Fair enough but don't expect immigrants, in Birmingham, to take on the local culture when there isn't any.

I remember something somebody said years ago I forget who...

"When the aliens from outer space invade, there will only be one race 'the human race'."

I suppose what they were getting at, incomers are seen as an invasion to locals, but when aliens invade from another world, humans are all on the same side.

Or that racism has its roots in the fear of a large number of incomers?

The Torygraph, DailyHeil, Dailygetsmychworse plus of course GBNews love knocking successful women.
I suppose they are emboldened by the scalp of Rayner (going to be a comeback soon?), the endless malicious trivia they pour out about Megan.
Now the latest is having a go about Reeves chess playing when she was a kid...

There is muck raking and expose`s, but really are the posh boys getting desperate.

‘Rach from accounts’ is so unbelievably sexist. Curious about how that makes women feel hearing men say that @Becs.

Also curious why people aren’t focusing on Farage’s lies which made Reeves job harder - Brexit, his wife’s house, hiding his general tax avoidance and kit publishing his tax affairs m, saying he’s isn’t racist. Anyone in the discrimination club up for condemning those things?

I agree x1000 mate, my response is tongue in cheek.The Rachael from accounts is Patronising misogynistic nonsense pushed by the ignorant

A Woking class who worked hard to get a first from the Uks top university, who could earn x10 in the real world.

Been away recently, and trying to source two Leeds tickets (unsuccessful so far), have I missed anything?

What a load of absolute bollocks !
I'd imagine that nobody who has referred to the smarmy bitch in that way has meant it in that way . . . . stop being so dramatic & attention seeking

The attention seeking last part of your last sentence . . . . how the hell would/do you know that

I’m glad NR has never called anyone in the Tory party.
What a brain dead tit.

Name calling in a discussion should be flagged as immature

The fact you get two likes from those two says it all.

I know about Rachael and Do you know how much KCs earn?

People calling working class people ‘****ers’ and ‘bitch’ when they have excellent degrees and got into senior positions and could earn a hell of a lot more in the private sector are the ****ers mate imho.

shame weren’t more vociferous when the real liars and conmen were fcking the country and this government is now sorting out their mess.

People who knowingly send pensioners to a certain death whilst partying and pocketing millions deserve every name under the sun.

I have tried to have sensible debate with you but your post says it all.

i personally think people who are quite happy for kids to go hungry really need to have a look at themselves. Perhaps you should think on that before calling people tits eh?

I disagree. I think it’s exactly that

senior citizens who died from the cold

4950 excess winter deaths caused by cold homes last winter
17th Jan 2024 — Previous End Fuel Poverty Coalition estimates put the figure at 4,706 Excess Winter Deaths caused by cold homes.
Children who died of malnutrition

There is no official data for the number of children who died of starvation in England last year
, as "starvation" is not a common registered cause of death. However, in 2022, there were 77 deaths involving malnutrition as the underlying cause in England and Wales,
Crack on freezing the pensioners, you seem to enjoy it
Put me on ignore if you don’t like reading what sort of person you really are.
