The Gammon are getting there way though.

These backward thinking Neanderthals are driving England into isolation.

Perhaps that's the utopia. England for the white English pure blood Anglo-Saxon invaders.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are going to call people Neanderthals you really should learn to distinguish between there and their.

I wonder if you have noticed the appearance of the Home Secretary and the Chancellor and several Tory MPs?

-----------------------------------------

Shouldn't you have added wealthy in there about the appearance of some Tory MPs. No matter what their wealth is, there are still some who wont accept them. There were many in the Tory party upset that Mrs Thatcher appointed people like Leon Britten, Nigel Lawson and Keith Joseph..

So Peeder, tell me how black slaves discriminated against white slave owners. Discrimination only ever acts one way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Complete and utter cr4p.

Have you ever been to an old firm game? Or Ireland? Just as an example. Religious discrimination from both sides.

Or parts of the old Yugoslavia? Or parts of Africa? Or pretty much anywhere in the world where 2 "factions" want the other out of the way for political, economic, racial religious or whatever reason. There is so much 2 way discrimination that to suggest it can only be in 1 direction is madness.

_________________________

Why not try answering the question asked?

Since when was racism religious discrimination.
To answer you I have worked in Northern Ireland in places on both side of the divide and guess what. The people look very much the same. Same as the Balkans. In fact as far as genes are concerned not only is there very little difference between Croats and Serbs or Ulster Prots and Cats, there very little difference between Serbs and Croats and Ulstermen.
You might even be bright enough to realise that in both cases it is about power not race or religion, Wolf Tone and Parnell were both Protestants. Try reading a bit of history sometime, you might be enlightened.

White privilege seems to be blinding many on here to the obvious.

I never ever thought I'd see Spart praising Mrs Thatcher. Maybe there/their/they're is some good out of this unpleasant saga.

I didn’t say anything about the Tory party. A Gammon has an outlook on England that transcends political parties.

It was you VC who associated the ideology with the Tories. Sure they’re creating an environment for this kind of thing to happen but racists come from everywhere.

Just pointing out that as horrible as Mrs T was, there have always been factions of the Tory party which make her appear human. Antisemitism has always been rife in the Tory party. Churchill thought Jews were all communists.

How it goes around; the Labour party is currently being investigated by EHRC for racism (antisemitism).

If you didn't know Spart, older folks tend not to keep up, Jewish is a race and a religion, so your prejudice towards people is more than skin deep

Typical left wing pile on VC. They lose common sense in a cloud of their own superior opinions.

You seem to be having a bit of a go at my posts and reading into them what I am not saying or thinking.

Does it matter whether hatred and discrimination is because of religion or race or anything else? Maybe it’s human nature to hate. You only have to read the posts on here to see that the default approach seems to be hostility and rudeness towards other individuals whose crime is to have a different political leaning or even a different opinion on a football matter. What is it about us that makes it so hard to be civil? (and I know, I can be as guilty as anybody else). Is it just the lack of consequence that comes with the Internet or are we just bad people?

I'm only pointing out that your utterings don't seem to grasped that what Ramage did was very unfortunate, wrong and racist.

And remember all racists voted for Brexit

My first utterings said Ramage was wrong to use that term.

By saying what you said in your last paragraph makes you look rather silly. Saying that people voted to leave because they don't like foreigners and are racist is ridiculous and untrue. How do you know what people think?

Is being anti semitic racist, cuz if it is there are plenty of remain voters who are like that and you think the sun shines out of their arris.

posted on 18/2/20

Read it - then read it again.

I didn't say people voted to leave because they didn't like foreigners, I said that racists voted 'leave' - do you really think racists voted 'remain'?

Anti-Semitic? Wow! A bit random, what's that got to do voting?

Yes, I know you said Ramage was wrong to use that term but seem to have a problem saying it was racist.

posted on 18/2/20

So View you are actually making things up. And yes I would assume that some racists voted remain. Why would racists only vote leave, I can't follow your reckoning.

The Jews are a religious and cultural group not a race. If you want to disagree with me check with Zionist historian Arthur Koestler. he has every reason to say that the Jews are a race like many Zionists claim but the history and the DNA says otherwise.

Why don't you stick to things you are good at like maths, oops, well maybe not. Well something you are good at, there must be something.

The reason Labour is being examined by the EHRC is due to the anti Corbyn campaign carried out by the media, Zionists within the Labour party and the Tory press.

Corbyn had expressed his support for BDS over Israel's treatment of Palestinians. He had also said he would like to prevent the media being dominated by a few billionaires.

Israel interferes with more elections than any other nation. Which anti-Semite said that? Well it was the well known Jewish politician Bernie Sanders.

Israel expelled all the UN human rights inspectors.

VC, you are falling into the same trap that Will Self set for Mark Francois, (who went in head first as it happens). Saying all racists voted for Brexit is NOT the same as saying all those who voted Brexit are racists.

Have a think about it. It's a similar problem to anyone who agrees that Ramage was wrong to say what he did, but to also say he wasnt being racist, (whether he meant it or not).

We label people as “racists” and “non-racists” but we are all somewhere on the spectrum if we are honest. I think it’s hard as a white person to understand how what might seem a relatively innocuous comment can feel to someone from a different background. But at the same time we now live in a society where the mob bays for blood at the slightest transgression. We love to punish. Zero tolerance we call it, but what happens when you get someone who isn’t evil, who is a decent enough person but who through ignorance and lack of understanding makes a mistake? Is it possible to educate that individual so that he understands the importance of sensitivity to others’ feelings? Or do we have to crucify him as an example to others? Can you have a bit of tolerance without seeming to condone?

Many years ago I was given great advice - ":before writing to (a newspaper), just pause, because someone will come along and say it much better than you can".

And so it comes to pass. Vidal, my thoughts exactly.

Wrong. Your racism doesn’t wash, Spart. You’re at home in the modern, Corbychev Labour Party.

So you tell me the Jews are a race, then explain the Falashas of east Africa. Black Jews, yet I shared a house with a blonde haired blue eyed Jew at one time. I know there are individual differences within races but this takes it to a new level. So explain why I am wrong about this and you are correct?

Now a middle class, Boris loving brexiter Tory calling someone racist. The words biscuit and take spring to mind. Perhaps you could explain why Boris describes black children as piccaninnies with water melon smiles. The language of the colonialists of the 19th century.
