O/T:- Deserving of the sack?

A great philosopher once wrote; ‘Man who goes to bed with itchy arse wakes up with smelly finger’. Makes you think dunnit?

Word for word, I heard the same response to a tweet recently though not on the same subject. Nice to see where you get your material Lardy.

I think some people saying "All/White Lives Matter" aren't necessarily racist, they just don't understand the point in Black Lives Matter and feel upset that another group is being "singled out for attention"

It's like being upset seeing someone in the street is trying to raise money for breast cancer awareness and arguing "what about throat cancer?"

Can you please explain the point then. To counter you analogy, would we allow those that raise money for Breast Cancer to get those that raise money for Throat Cancer fired from their jobs, banned from social media, or to have the police threaten them for not raising money for the acceptable cause?

But is very kind of you to state some aren't "necessarily racist", but you think most of them are don't you. Yet it is you that want to introduce race based laws, its you that judges people not as an individuals but as a measure of their attributes.

So can you answer the question; do all lives matter?

Sacking, threatening, attacking or or legally/forcibly silencing people who express opinions is never going to make that opinion go away or make the world a safer or nicer place. In fact it gradually achieves the opposite effect. Many people develop or are attracted to extreme political or religious views precisely because they feel unheard or powerless within the mainstream discourse, and the more the parameters of that mainstream discourse become squeezed, the greater that feeling of alienation and anger becomes, and the more people begin feel it, which is a dangerous situation to ferment.

If we want to create a genuinely more liberal, tolerant, understanding and mentally healthier society we have to accept (and cope with the fact) that some people will say things we don't like, or even which we find abhorrent, but as long as those views can be expressed and a conversation can take place, those views can change.

In the words of Del & Rodney from Only Fools & Horses:

"I've never been so offended!"

"Really? Well come over here and let me have a try!"

Looks like Lardy and Elite will be spared.

Seems there's a bit of a push back on the so Long-Bailey sacking?
