Caerphilly

[Andrew - North Hill]

The amount of reform supporters in denial about being massive racists is unreal. But racism is acceptable these days.

The bigger problem for me is that we seem to have reached a point in time where it is apparently unacceptable to label a racist a racist. The labeller is usually the one in the wrong.

Yes I agree. The racists have “reclaimed” the word and now wear it as a badge of honour. See also “far right”. They’re proud of it now.

Highlighted by Chris Philp’s interview on the BBC just now. He couldn’t even bring himself to say it was a racist comment.

That’s not to say that every person who’s made a racist comment or joke has deep rooted racist beliefs but if we’ve reached the stage where we have to say “that’s not language I would use” compared to “that’s a racist comment and needs to be challenged” then we’ve regressed as a society IMO.

Reform MP’s remarks about TV adverts were ‘racist’, says Wes Streeting

Health secretary hardens Labour line after Sarah Pochin said advertising ‘doesn’t reflect our society’

Philp has now finally come out and called it racist, but only at the sixth time of asking, and only after checking that other prominent politicians had called it racist first... "Oops, I'd better do the same then"

The Philps of this world are utterly shameless. They'll change their position on something every 5 minutes as long as it's politically expedient.
