Election Year or Fear!

Id say that rules out 95% of existing MP's (I hate to mention Dianna Abbot again), but I agree - it's not always what you say but how you say it that offends.

In this case, GP, it was very much a case of what Sarah Pochin said. You may wish to consider her exact words which were, ‘It drives me mad when I see adverts full of black people, full of Asian people.’

Like Sith I don’t actually know what she’s referring to as adverts are usually something I try and avoid and usually just FF through, but for the life of me I can’t see how that isn’t a racist comment. Perhaps you can and I’d genuinely love you to explain.

Of course she is entitled to say how she feels, as are those of us who are offended by her comments entitled to describe her as a stupid, racist woman who has said something entirely inappropriate and deliberately divisive in her role as an MP.

Surely in 2025 most intelligent folk have reached a stage where they can look past the colour of someone’s skin without being ‘driven mad’ or having to work out the quotas of people on TV, in the media, in government or in sports teams. It just doesn’t matter.
