Current Affairs The Labour Party

[JimmyJeffers]

Yes it is.
The more left you go in the Labour Party the more racist and anti-Semitic it becomes.

Utter drivel

 

[Aberblue]

That's because it is racism 100%.

So because someone's from an ethnic minority, any criticism is "racist"?

The same argument is used when Diane Abbott is criticised: "It's because she's a black woman", not because of her many verbal gaffes. Likewise with Patel, she's criticised because of her views, which is fair enough for any politician.

I accept that both women do receive abuse which is racist in nature; however, much of the criticism is fully justified and nothing to do with ethnic background.

Is this a bit?

Is there not a Man City forum with a political page you can visit and take your uninformed bilge to you whopper. Probably all agree with you on there.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

The open hatred of Priti Patel displayed by some Labour Party MPs / pro-Labour personalities / pro-Labour political commentators is bizarre, in as much as displaying it so nakedly and with such bile just leaves them wide open to accusations of racism.

Patel has a long track record of being very nasty, selfish and duplicitous.

Nonsense and not the topic of discussion

So the hard left are not anti-Semitic?
OK if you say so mate.

Here we go

You don't have a clue do you? Define the "hard left"

It’s as if you’ve eaten a years worth of the Daily Mail.

You know, and this is a bit left field, but I'm starting to think that even if I gave you a detailed and easily understandable argument as to why you are wrong you wouldn't engage in good faith so I might just leave this one here, comrade.

TBF Patel has made as many verbal gaffes as Abbott but they rarely, if ever, get bought up, other than the time Ian Hislop schooled her over the death penalty.

I mean, she responded to a terrorist incident by saying, three times, that she was declaring a war on counter-terrorism.

What has that got to do with anything in relation to the discussion on Patel?

Stop weaponising anti-semitism.

I tell you one thing that I’ve noticed with regard to all of this kinda stuff and life in general. POC aren’t allowed to be rubbish at their jobs.

I see white people who are rubbish at their jobs everywhere. And they just plod along being rubbish. If it’s a person of colour who is rubbish then it’s tokenism and positive discrimination.

I don’t like Patel because she hates poor people and minorities. We have the opposite view on everything.

But there are plenty of white men who are just as [Poor language removed] as their jobs and dont get as much focus as Patel and Abbott.

Good idea. Trying to defend the indefensible is not an easy task

TBF I can’t think of a white male British politician who once got sacked from a Cabinet post for having multiple secret meetings with ministers from another country, offering to give that country’s military UK taxpayers money, all whilst on holiday and without telling their own government until after it happened, and lying to the then PM, plus lying about the next PMs knowledge of it *and* telling whoppers to the Press.
