Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

[JimmyJeffers]

I mean, he could be called many things, but calling Jones a grifter is Tory behaviour.

I mean, I don’t think one person saying “trans people have a right to exist” and another saying “no they don’t” has much of a moral gray-area really.

Both opinions are of equal value to sensible centrists.

Is this still going on?

Jesus wept.

Here is the clip that Question Time played in this Metro article.

BBC defends clip of 'racist rant' during Question Time

They are 'satisfied that different perspectives and viewpoints were heard' during Question Time.

Damn that Owen Jones fella for making Gavin's mum blame Immigration on the failing NHS.

Disgusting he is.

Do you think little Owen was correct in saying

This is how racism and rightwing extremism are normalised. Thursday night’s Question Time featured a lengthy racist rant by an audience member: “Close the borders, completely close the borders,” she frothed with hateful rage, adding in lies about foreigners being showered with never-ending freebies while destroying the education system and the NHS.

Was it a "racist rant", or was the woman mainly misguided or concerned by the culture war narrative around migrants?

Yes, it’s a racist rant.

There’s a world of difference between wanting controlled immigration and saying “close the borders”

Spadge is too deep to pull out there, I admire the way hes digging away in what he must surely know is a crushing defeat.

But Mrs Spadge didnt raise no bish and only the best go down swinging.

I'm convinced he's on a wind up. He's not stupid, can be the only explanation.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Owen jones is calling out racism whereas Katie Hopkins is being racist. As they’re both positioning their arguments in the same subject matter, they are equally as bad as each other in causing division.

Nar ive been there, you say something, then people tell you why you are wrong, in your head you think "Yeah ive utterly goosed this", but sometimes the fingers dont accept defeat and they take over.

Nope. His get out now is to pretend he was on the wind up all along. The peteblue defence
