Get rid of her for spectacularly poor judgment alone, then swiftly move onto establishing what Labour are going to do to stop people being in an eternal cost-of-living crisis where everything has to be cut back so shareholders can add more money to their existing piles. I’m sick of it all, I want a political system where we actually do things rather than be in a constant state of all parties infighting whilst the country burns down in the background. Had enough.

You don't need to apologise, we're having a discussion and it's important to hear different point of view.Originally posted by Protocol Penguin View PostSorry.
Sincere apologies.
I just find it disheartening to see people seemingly leap to give the individual the benefit of the doubt. We should not excuse any form of racism just because the perpetrator uses an “oh I’m the real victim here” type narrative. It’s not OK when people on the Right do that, neither should it be when it’s someone on the Left.
Antisemitism is racism, Jewish people were victims of the worst planned genocide in human history
I don't think anyone here is disagreeing with this.
As someone who has experienced years of abuse, Abbott should be more aware that saying this racism is worse than that racism is so very wrong.
A politician who can't see that shouldn't be in that position and it's right she should be penalised accordingly.
It's disappointing that someone who's achieved so much and weathered so much criticism and abuse would end their career by revealing their total lack of empathy.
Personally, I think we need to be careful making sweeping generalisations like this, though.Originally posted by Protocol Penguin View PostComment

This. You can practice Judiasm without actually being ancestorally "Jewish", my old manager, as white and caucasian as anything, converted when he married a Jewish woman. Same way I know a couple of very white, born CoE, folks who have converted to Islam.Originally posted by Brad View Post
Which basically is why I never try to use the word "racism" when referring to actions happening negatively against people who practice a particular religion, because race has nothing to do with it on the most part, as religion can, and usually is, multi racial.
Should Abbott be suspended for her comments regardless though? Absolutely.Lie with passion and be forever damned...Comment

Britons ‘need to accept’ they’re poorer, says Bank of England economist
I don't know what to say about this. Clearly repeatedly voting Tory and Brexit has ****ed everyone, but no one will ever say that.

This is good, my thoughts exactly. I've heard many times on tv reports Muslims for example being racially abused but then I think are Muslims/Islam a race? I've never heard about Christians being racially abused in that sense.Originally posted by Mayhem View Post
If you are an atheist and you are being given some stick about it by some hard line Bishop or whatnot would that be classed as reverse racism.
Since a lot of people think that footy is their religion if you abuse a Real Madid fan by saying their team is ****e and not as good as Barca, could that count as racism.

And just like his boss, The Governor of the BoE, who suggested that people shouldn't be asking for pay rises around the time inflation started to spiral, he's likely on a six-figure salary and additionally getting a healthy pension to boot. Easy for them to say that working people who didn't cause the country's financial problems should effectively settle for being just about above the poverty line.Originally posted by Asura View Post
He's a f-ing idiot just like his boss and his comments are both tin-eared and tone-deaf to the current climate, and the sh1thouse deserves all the criticism coming his way for it.Last edited by Nu-Eclipse; 25-04-2023, 22:29.Comment

Yep, it's more important that people accept that they don't need to be poor and to stop propping up the corrupt party enabling an economic system that is so broken that anyone ever believing the myth that Tories are good with money and the economy gets slapped upside the headComment
