Thank you Eleanor...very interesting answers....a few questions.
Do you think it’s possible for the Tories to be institutionally racist but as you are simply a voter and not a member it might have slipped by you ? Many voters simply avail themselves of the information they needed to make a, hopefully, informed choice but no more.
Do you think the poor girls groomed in the Oxford and Rotherham grooming scandal where somehow complicit in their own abuse simply because they drank the alcohol offered, took the drugs offered, lied to their parents etc etc ? There are cases of young girl being sexually groomed on line, taking their passports and arranging to run away. Are the complicit in their own abuse ? Isn’t grooming grooming whether it’s to run away to join a terrorist organisation or your far older abuser ?
Brexit....we will just have to wait and see.
[ censored word]emitism is abhorrent and so is any kind of racism. Are we to ignore the sort that lead to the deportations to Jamaica this week, while mourning the bullying of our Jewish neighbours ? I think Corbyn put it excellently this week when he asked Johnson if a foreign born, white man who took cocaine should face deportation ? It’s the double standard that appalls me.
Dear Faith, Thanks for the opportunity. I gave up on voting 35 years ago, 25 years before I moved to France. So I am not a Voter. I worked stoically for The Tory Party until I realised that they were making a fool of me. I despise Politicians in general. Much more to it, of course.
My Comment was tongue in cheek, by the way. I was tying to say how ridiculous it all is. Or did you take me literally?
Children being groomed makes me sick to my stomach, but where were their parents and the authorities?
Am I Racist? Too bloody true I am on occasions, if white, girl children are being targeted by depraved morons. But try saying so. The Police were a disgrace. But then they often are.
I would like to feel more sorry for Shamima Begum, but she came from a fairly solid family who I doubt ever treated her badly. So why was she looking to be radicalised? She was just a spoilt brat looking for attention. But even spoilt brats have to learn. However, I suspect that it might be a bit too late for that for her, and some others. She is not alone. Cock a snook at Britain and then find out what it means.
She stole her sister's passport and the money. Is that okay? Stealing a Passport is a major crime.
Anti Semitism isn't actually Racism. It is a Crime against Humanity.
I am not sure of the damage that Labour has done to itself, or even if it meant to, but the more of this shite that is out there then the better.
