How is it you're not so ready to defend the other side and try to share the blame until some criticises Labout or Joe?
I'm a Labour Party member I see the problems and don't defend them if a racist is in the party I speak out. I thought my post covered all parties btw so you've got me puzzled how you didn't see that. I don't think Uj is a labour member or supporter, he was as out spoken about labour when they were in office as he is against tories now. That's something you are choosing not to see.

What worries me is no one I know would accidentally say the word, you wouldn't either muddy, it's not in most people's vocabulary. But it was in hers, and the rest of the meeting didn't even look uncomfortable with it !

That's what makes me think it was racist, only a racist would have that as a first thing out of their head.

Re: Racist Comment!!!

It wasn't a racist term in the first instance until "somebody" decided it was.

It's down to interpretation.....just because one person deems it racist doesn't mean another does.....so that doesn't make that person a racist....does it?

It was a very ignorant and unfortunate use of an old phrase....she shouldn't have used it, a mistake....but to be labelled racist is very unfair unless you have REAL proof that she is.

She'd been tried and convicted by the scumbag 'nasty party' itself, long before I posted my comments, so are you now saying that the scumbag 'nasty party' are sh*t stirrers themselves???

Back in the 1930s, the remark, although offensive, wasn't considered such then.

It is a racist term and MPs should not be using it.
