I dont flounce, there is literaly no point in having a conversation with 98% of angry white dudes on on here, conversation is what you should have a with yourslef. And wtf listens to radio 4 ?
Looks in, sees it's the same old casual/covert racism as on all of the other DA threads with the same posters at the forefront.
Can you flag up the racism for me?
How many different DA threads have there been? Just because nobody is calling her the actual name doesn't mean the spite isn't there because she's black. Being a female is probably the icing on the cake for a fair few.

ETA: I mean after posting the above I look at page 2 of NP & E and yep - here's another DA thread rolleyes

If DA is so popular on here because of her race and gender, you'll easily be able to post up other examples of people who receive a disproportionate amount of attention on here?

Maybe she receives a disproportionate amount of attention because she produces a disproportionate amount of gaffes, blunders, and general stupidity?

Nah, must be because shes a black woman. Ironically it seems you're the one who can't see past her skin colour and gender!

Yeah, righto - How many threads does Boris Johnson get? Or JRM? laugh

I'll just wait until this afternoon when she gets another new thread all to herself. But it's not covert racism, honest guv.

As you were wink

PH full of covert anti-white, anti-male posters, who knew?! biggrin

No matter which way you slice it, there's more results for Boris Johnson than DA on PH.

So basically we're all racist even though there's no racism.

You only have to scroll back 2 pages for 2 DA threads...and if you include the slaughtering she recently got in the Question Time thread...

Lets also mention that a lot of the posts about Boris are in support of him - not something you could reasonably say about DA or at all actually as I've yet to see one.

Literally this thread. Plenty of them.

Personally, as much as I feel that she may have exhibited past behaviours of a racist, hypocrite and is incompetent in her role etc, I find this type of reporting in MSM inflammatory across a number of possible spectrums and quite unsavoury.

Exactly what harm was she doing to anyone else? Divisive reporting and potentially quite intrusive and typical MSM trivia.

Attack her politics. Attack her capabilities. Yes she was breaking the law. But let the lady get on with her life and let the law enforce any transgressions she makes. This is another example of unnecessary trial by media IMHO.

We should let her go round and round on the circle line drinking 24x7. She will do a lot less damage than doing her normal job.
Completely agree. Who gives a st?!

The extrapolation some are making about her being a raging alcoholic is mental IMO. Maybe she just wanted a mojito?! It's not like she was hammered on kestral super and pissing on the seats, is it?!

Is that disproportionate? The number of threads discussing Islam/Muslims has dropped off a cliff with the reduction in terror attacks lately, at least in my experience.

Wow. Just wow. Some people really are thick, or deliberate trolls.

It's nothing to do with the fact she is black, or a woman. Its the fact she is a hypocritical, incompetent bigot who should have no place potentially holding one of the higest powered offices in the country should labour get into power. Someone who is responsible for making laws (even as a member of the opposition) who is flouting them and you seem to think that people who object to this are racist??? You sir are part of the problem. Stop being part of the problem.

  • edit* just spotted the username. Yep, trolling. As you were everyone.

On one of those you are legally allowed to drink alcohol. On the other you are not.


Now tell there isn't a more ridiculous law in the land?
quite possibly it is the most ridiculous - but it IS the law. Surely s such she should obey the bloody thing.


As an aside to looney - look at the disproportionate lambasting that the sainted Maggie T gets from the left. Misogyny and racism there too?

It's a tricky one. There's obviously a causal connection to terror attacks. I also think that Brexit has dominated this forum recently which tends to push other stories off the radar. There's also the fact that some of the more 'forthright' posters were culled a few years back once Haymarket realised that having posters excitedly agreeing with (doctored) quotes from Mein Kampf wasn't great for PR.

It's not so much whether these incidents are newsworthy - clearly terrorism is very newsworthy - it's how quickly things on here often descend to lumping people together and ascribing the same view to all of them. Which is a clear definition of racism.

Yeah, agreed. I know the kind of posts you refer to, although I didn't realise anyone was quoting mein kampf! eek!

Maybe it is just Brexit, but things do seem better on here than a few years ago. A lot of posters have come and gone in that time, I hope I'm right and I hope we don't find out for sure smile

I think you're right.

The Mein Kampf thing was quite amusing. Someone decided to do a little experiment by changing the 'Jews' to 'Muslims' in quotes from Hitler's book. He (or she) started with quite subtle stuff, and when it became clear that he'd (or she'd) hooked a few posters the quotes got ever-more disgusting, and still some posters agreed with the sentiment (with one or two 'I get the gist of what you're saying but you may be going a little far there chap!')

It's staggering that you can seriously infer such Orwellian nonsense. So if a person doesn't display any racist behaviour whatsoever you can still proclaim them racist because you believe they are hiding their racism. It is literally up to you who is a racist regardless of how that person leads their life. Do you not perceive how sinister and revolting that is?

Incidentally, I think you are a homophobe. I think you hate Gay people and are secretely appalled by their choices, I think you'd like to round them all up and destroy them. You just hide it well.

Do you think that is offensive?

If the Right were like the Left we'd spend the time accusing the Left of sexism, rather than trying to defend Thatcher's policies.
