This is true. It’s become the buzzword equivalent of Just a Minute’s deviation or repetition.
We live in a world where Easter chocolate rabbits are described in the same way as apartheid.
The way the word racism is bandied about you’d think everyone hears or says something blatently racist every few minutes.
I don’t know any racists. Society has changed for the better in this respect. I’ve met a couple in the last thirty or forty years but chose not to spend any time in their company. I suspect most people are the same.

But there won’t ever be any lack of racism when people insist on seeing it where none exists. Its like the “N” word. The only reason it’s still heard is because rappers and comedians insist in shouting it all the time. There were loads of derogatory terms for people of colour which have all disappeared but that one is still around.

Say no more.

You really are an ostrich. There’s racism from all races if that’s what you want to call it.

Incidents of racism? You’re either talking about the twisting of words said or typed, pointless accusations of cultural appropriation from the hypocrite Diane Abbott of all people or small amounts of physical incidents, possibly because there’s been too much immigration and segregated, isolated communities.

You are just the type of person who moves out of London in their 30’s because it’s okay for others but not for them. You aren’t related to Kermit and DanH are you? At least Gusset stayed in the white suburbs with a sprinkling of ethnic minorities stays loyal to his word.

With pp constantly bleating on about racism a thought occured to me.
If the ethnic proportion of individuals within our community is growing then general assaults and fights and trouble between people will include more and more of the non white population.
It doesnt necessarily mean its racist.
Its surely the law of averages.

I know which one of these Nazis I wouldn't mind finding myself in bed with.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Yes I saw that. He has truly lost the plot and I hate to say this but has the chip of all chips on his shoulder.

Soldiers also died protecting themselves and their country from being controlled by an outside force that wouldn’t allow Britain to control itself. He is so out of touch and consumed with fighting for people in his own constituency that have to turn to crime and violence according to him that he’s gone blind.

He isn’t worth listening to with his apoplectic outbursts and neither is Diane Abbott. There’s surely some better black people in politics, or do they see that it’s not worth being involved in if you’re intelligent enough to earn well elsewhere, and why we get these poor excuses as token black politicians?

He said comparison to Nazis was "not strong enough", irrepective of your politics or position on leaving the EU, that's quite something - worse than Hitler's pursuit of a master race.

It was played on LBC this morning I am sure if you google it you can find it. I made no claims about what Lammy said beyond the contrast between what the BBC reported and my post of the previous day about a well argued Remainer. The Indian soldiers comment wasn't me.

Personally I think Lammy is not helping his side.

Perhaps. Anything that originates with The Daily Mail is automatically suspect. The link was particularly suspicious as it starts after the comments that were the topic of JRM’s complaints

Strange the daily mail didnt run story of one of their contributors who was a staunch leaver saying brexit was a bad idea or recent investigations into senior Tory politicians murky financial dealings. Labour politician says something controversial, full page splash
