    TV Network Bans Word ‘Uppity’ as Racist After a Single Complaint
    Term used to criticize arrogant behavior of Meghan Markle.

    A TV network in the UK has banned the word “uppity” after a single viewer complained that the term was racist when used to describe Meghan Markle.
    The farce began after ITV host Eamonn Holmes criticized the Duchess of Sussex’s attitude when she refused to pose for photographs with fans during her visit to the Wimbledon tennis tournament in July.
    “If you have an uppity attitude, you’re only through the door two minutes and suddenly you’re sitting at Wimbledon and your royal protection are saying, ‘No photographs, no photographs!’” Holmes said on his show This Morning.
    This prompted one viewer to complain to broadcasting watchdog Ofcom that the term was racist because it was once used by southerners in the 19th century to describe black people in America during the slavery era who didn’t know their place.
    However, according to the Collins Dictionary, the term only came into popular use after 1929 and simply means, “inclined to be haughty, arrogant, snobbish.”
    According to ITV, Holmes was not reprimanded for the remark but the use of the word was subsequently banned, with a spokesperson for the station commenting, “This was a point of learning for the wider team, not a rebuke.”
    Respondents on Twitter slammed the broadcaster for reacting to just a single complaint, with one commenting, “Utterly ridiculous – just shows what the petty-minded little people who run ITV are like – full of PC claptrap.”
    Others pointed out that the term has been used in a variety of contexts, including a famous children’s Mr. Men book by Roger Hargreaves called Mr. Uppity.

    Jezza back in the news today re anti-semitism. Just heard on the radio that he supports some bloke who accuses Jews of 'blood libel' (Jews murder Christian and non-Jewish children to use their blood in Jewish rituals and holidays). Is good mates with some holocaust denier. They are saying there are some 2000 incidents of anti-Semitism in the Labour party.

    Peter Mason has been kicking off as well.

    Like Boris I am more than happy to wait for the report to be published before i make my final decision on Corbyn...But 2000 incidents are too many to ignore.

    For those that like the odds:
    Election results MAPPED: Oddschecker reveals THIS is how the country will look on Election
    The poll, which was released yesterday, showed the Conservatives gaining 57 extra seats for a total of 349, far extending their majority.
    The SNP also sees a net increase of seats, gaining 14 for a total of 49.
    Labour and the Liberal Democrats lag behind, as Jeremy Corbyn’s party is projected to take 216 seats this year, and the Lib Dems just 14.

    Yes, if we vote Brexit we’re racist and if we vote Conservative we’re turkeys. There’s a slice of gammon around here too.
