It’s not simply ‘choosing’ to believe he has changed. Like literally anything in life, you take a standpoint on what evidence is out their to form an opinion or take a stance on something. In this case, the evidence is clear that Mackay has taken all appropriate measures and has been backed by major Equality and Diversity groups. Seven years ago the evidence was that MM was a racist. Now, the evidence is that he has been rehabilitated. As a consequence, I have no issue currently with him as there is no evidence out there to the contrary. Forming ‘opinions’ on people with no current evidence to actually back something up in many ways can be just as bad.
