My point was.....OK I'll explain
A red-faced fat **** was recently outed for racist comment.
It was clearly entirely reflective of his racism.
He has *apologised* for falsely giving the impression he was racist when he isn't racist at all. And we have been invited to move on.
As my first...
The age of satire is dead. I fear that some of these goons watched Chris Morris (The Day Today, in particular) and thought 'I'm having some of that'.
So, they have indeed labelled themselves as extremist.
However, this matters not because they have not explained what constitutes a rigorous...
Your writing style is desiccated and sometimes lacks precision, giving the impression of a lack of accuracy. @Zeberdi is a three decimal places man. Let's call it a misunderstanding and move on shall we? :thumbsup:
To me they are an antichrist version of a gift that keeps on giving. The old school tory grandees of the 80s would be shocked and appalled at the value-free opportunism that exemplifies the tory party today. Chancers in parliament, cheered on by demented blue rinsers living in white enclaves...
If someone 'emerged' on the scene today, looking like that, I suspect they would be pilloried.
Meanwhile, in new news, Gove has decided to tell us all what extremism means:

Oh, but:
Communities Secretary Michael Gove has unveiled a new...
He hasn't been exonerated by the old bill yet.
Perhaps Abbot, who was denied a chance to speak in parliament during the debacle/debate today (shameful, but probably in labour's best interest, given what she may have said -blaming Starmer no doubt) may start a private prosecution. Or maybe the...
Top patriotic work :thumbsup:
Down with the moaning minnies.
Other Thatcher quotes are available. I'd offer a selection but I'd have to rummage in the drawer labeled f***ed and Burned to find them. How sad. Never mind.
:wink:
You miss my point entirely. I was referring to examples where the ethnicity or other generic characteristic was not remarkable and where the lazy 'go to' was unhelpful.
That black footy pundit.
You mean Alex Scott?
No! A bloke.
Micah Richards?
No!
Jermain Jenas?
No! Wears glasses!
Nedum...
The bigger question? Bigger than racism? Bigger than hundreds of millions of pounds in HMG contracts being awarded in return for a ten million pound political donation?
And you think that nobody would have noticed the graft had the racism hadn't come to light? Maybe you're right.
However if...
This is indeed all semantics until one considers your comment that I have highlighted. So, if we are going to ostracize and prosecute racism, perhaps we need to define our terms.
Except we don't. And I couldn't care less what self appointed 'organizations' are calling for.
Racism (and other...
We all get older. There is no need to give up the ghost and become set in whatever attitudes and customs prevailed the last time we went out and about. Keep your finger on the pulse or you will turn into a grumpy old git.
It is extremely easy to not cause offense. There is nothing to worry...
