Yep. So often with the left, they are what they accuse you of being.

Yes you're a Democrat supporter if I remember correctly, they also have issues with antisemitism so my question stands. You seem awfully reluctant to address it. Strange... ???? You support someone being treated differently, in fact being given priority for something over another person based on their race. That's pretty much the definition of racism. I'm surprised you can't see that.

Affirmative action is absolutely racist since it favours one race against the other. Just because it discriminates against white people, doesn't mean it isn't racist. On the antisemitism, it was simply a question since you appear to be a left wing labour supporter and Labour (and the left generally) has many issues with antisemitism. Since you support racist 'affirmative action' policies which discriminate against white people I was wondering if you also support discrimination against Jews. Not an accustation, just a simple question.

Good to see Hunt and Zahawi out of the race. Not so good to see Sunak leading the race. I don't think he's a vote winner with the public, although if Starmer is still leading Labour at the next election it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

It's no surprise to me that you support racist policies such as shortlisting candidates based on their ethnicity. Many on the left are fine with racism, as long as it's discriminating against the 'correct' race. Are you on board with the antisemitism so rampant in the Labour party as well?

Positive discrimination? Since when is backing a female for a position, positive discrimination? Are you implying I am only backing her because she's a woman? I mean, there's no way a woman could actually be the best person for the job, right? Misogynistic much? ????

Yep they did the same with Ole, great for the first 15 games and then reverted to type.

Identity politics does not support such an Outlook.

Nothing ironic there. I judge people on the content of their character rather than the colour of their skin. Which is why I have huge respect for Kemi Badenoch and nothing but contempt for Abbott. Saying Mao did more good than harm, supporting the IRA and illegally boozing on a public train are not actions worthy of respect IMO. Her claims that she could hire 10,000 police officers for 300,000 pounds (30 quid per officer) also leave me doubting her intelligence as well as her character. Still, if that's the best Labour has to offer...

This corrupt mob couldn't arrange mopping up the mess from a Chinese seafood buffet, never mind a major oil spill.

I watched it on soi 23. It was a surprisingly decent game. Man Utd were taking it very seriously. I guess they knew it was their only chance of silverware this season.

Banned in government offices? Damn. Does this mean I can't be hitting the bong during my visa extension process? Lucky I read this article.

Yeah Kemi is also a good shout. Her support of Brexit and opposition to Woke Ideology and Critical Race Theory are definite positives. It would be a massive step up from previous appointments but I have no reason to doubt she could make that step. It would also be great to see the AntiSemites on the left having a meltdown. "But but but, a black woman leading the Tories, how can that be, I thought they were all racist misogynists?" or "how can this black woman be a Conservative, black people are supposed to vote Labour, doesn't she understand Identity Politics?". ????

Oh that's right, she's currently off the front bench. It's hard to keep up, she's on and off that bench with the same regularity that she was on and off Corbyn in the 70's. Back on topic, we're down to 8 now. I'm sure the lefties will be surprised and dismayed to see such a wide range of ethnic backgrounds and an equal split of men and women. All based on merit and without the need for box ticking. Marvellous. If only the Labour party had such wide ranging talent we might have a decent opposition that could hold the government to account instead of petty point scoring and oneupmanship. With Raab and The Moggster out of the running, I'm backing Liz Truss. That would be the 3rd female PM for the Tories. I wonder how many the 'progressive' Labour party have had? Hmmmm. Interesting...

You're obviously very uncomfortable with anyone mentioning that Dianne Abbott is on the front bench of the Labour Party. I would be too. 2 left shoes, the maths, the Corbyn affair, the drinking on public transport etc. It's all a bit embarrassing isn't it? Unfortunately Rayner, Starmer, Nandy etc. offer no respite. Get used to Tory power for another decade.

If I was a Labour supporter I wouldn't want her ridiculous level of incompetence being highlighted either. Unfortunately she doesn't know how to stop attracting negative headlines. Obviously the left wing Met Police did nothing about this either... Probably too busy painting rainbows on their faces, or taking the knee to the Marxist BLM.

Not sure what's so amusing about Patel not running. You must be easily amused ????. The Tories have a wealth of talent. I can think of at least 10 MP's that would make a great PM. Hence so many runners in the race. Labour can't even find one. Hence you're stuck with the serial loser Starmer and his merry bunch of misfits. Who would replace Starmer? Abbott? Rayner? Lammy? Nandy? ???? Even Boris smashed you and got an 80 seat majority. Even as a Conservative voter I'd have to admit that was more about Labour's incompetence than anything out of the ordinary that Boris did.

Sorry, am I interrupting your comparisons of Patel with the Nazis and the BNP?

There is nothing racist/fascist about referring to the North London Liberal Elite. Not sure what that has to do with the BNP anyway? Are you trying to create some tenuous link between Patel and the BNP? ???? So you are essentially defending the poster who compared Patel with the Nazi's by drawing your own ridiculous comparison between Patel and the BNP. ???? As a Labour die hard looking so hard for prejudice, may I suggest you stop clutching at straws and refer you to Anti-Semitism within your own party?

I'm not sure who this far right is that you speak of. However, I've never seen her accused of being a Nazi. That tends to be a lefty insult when they start losing the argument (along with fascist, racist etc.). My criticism of her has always been about her complete ineptitude which is 100% fair and accurate.

It is indeed ironic that it's often the anti-semitic hard lefties who casually throw around the Nazi insult so much. Bad taste indeed from Team "Be Kind". I believe 'Projection' would be an accurate description of such behaviour.

That's rich coming from someone who accused me of disliking Carrie Symonds green politics because she's a woman ????. Hypocritical much? I just thought it was interesting that of all the Tories to single out for this vile abuse, they chose a female from an ethnic minority. Very telling, and yet more spite and nastiness from the self proclaimed 'be kind' people. I think I see a pattern here... .

It's relevant because whoever of the 11 wins the Tory leadership race, the Conservatives will win the next election due to the staggering, embarrassing level of ineptitude on Labour's front bench.

Damn this one crept up on me. Fortunately I have loads of Beer, Weed and Vodka stocked up but I'll definitely be out getting smashed tonight to show my support for the local economy.
