What’s your most massive example of BoJo’s racism? And if you mention piccaninnies or letterboxes you return to go He isn't fit to work in any office let alone high office. He is without the slightest doubt what my old Grandma liked to call 'a right fucking cunt' 🤣🤣🤣Reminds me of this...

Gardener, Trickett and Lavery have been stood down. Won’t be long before the likes of Umuna, Berger and Ellman are invited back to the party and the likes of Streeting and Phillips are moved into the shadow cabinet. The “centre ground” here they come..... Lavery was always toast, Gardner is more of a statement. Once the traitors come home, I'll be done with them.

What’s your most massive example of BoJo’s racism? And if you mention piccaninnies or letterboxes you return to go www.businessinsider.com/boris-johnson-record-sexist-homophobic-and-racist-comments-bumboys-piccaninnies-2019-6?r=US&IR=TSexismAt the Daily Telegraph Johnson also brought his admiration for "hot totty" into the office, pinning a Pirelli calendar to his desk, which featured nude photography, despite complaints from female colleagues.
Boasting of his decision, Johnson told Telegraph readers that the calendar "caused something of a stir."
"They made women feel embarrassed, I was told," he wrote. "I'd hate to stand next to some guy and try to get my point across while May was on display," said one woman. 'Just pat her on the bottom and send her on her way' In a farewell piece in the Spectator marking his exit as editor, Johnson offered the following advice to his successor. HomophobiaIn his 2001 book "Friends, Voters, Countrymen," Johnson compared gay marriage to bestiality, writing that "If gay marriage was OK – and I was uncertain on the issue – then I saw no reason in principle why a union should not be consecrated between three men, as well as two men, or indeed three men and a dog."
Racism and IslamophobiaIf 'picaninnies with watermelon smiles don't float your boat how about 'Islam is the problem'Islamophobia is 'a natural reaction'He isn't fit to work in any office let alone high office. He is without the slightest doubt what my old Grandma liked to call 'a right fucking cunt' So literally no racism then? The piccaninnies thing is completely absurd, you’d have to be a child to misread the context there. “Islamophobia” is not racism. There’s plenty to hammer the guy with, there’s just no need to inflate accusations like this. Also damages credibility of legit criticism.

I’ll piss myself laughing if the likes of Streeting and Phillips get the gig. Rachel Reeves and Yvette Cooper are nailed on, they’ll be in the papers tomorrow calling for “unity” despite selling Corbyn down the river when they stood down en masse from the Shadow Cabinet in their pathetic failed coup......

They’d rather argue about the definition of “islamophobia” than call out his obvious bigotry. Nuance you see, it’s very important when it suits. Laughable......

Of course it wasn't the thrust of the article but when he has espoused Imperialism in other articles coupled with the other shit he's come out with the lines become blurred. It's shit language and show horrific judgement. What about his Africa quote, can you find any context in that?

Again, it’s not racism though is it. It’s not even really a fringe view, even in Africa.... As a related observation his espousal of imperialism is particularly ironic here given that the “thrust” of the piccaninnies article was actually an attack on Tony Blair’s brand of “white saviour” neo-colonialism.

His words. In print. I assume you need a bit more context before commenting though, with it not being Magic Grandpa and all?

I genuinely don't think he's a tenth as clever as he (and unfathomably) a large portion of the population seem to think. Quoting Virgil and Lecretius isn't a sign of great intelligence. Is he a racist, probably not. Has he said some crass, racist and insensitive things he sure has. The letterbox thing wasn't racist but it certainly emboldened a few Tommy's army types and did cause hurt and worse in the Muslim community. He isn't fit to be Prime Minister.

Rachel Reeves is the new Shadow Chancellor.
I haven’t heard much from Rachel since a couple of months back when her and Theresa May were on the telly explaining how inspired they were by the massive antisemite Nancy Astor. Still waiting for the outrage from the BoD and the Jewish Chronicle on that one.
Funny old world.....

I think his contributions on Brexit will be interesting. Watever you think of Corbyn you simply cannot question his committment to a more just society and we'll need contributions from him and people like him when this economy starts to reset to the 'rigged for the few' piece of shit it was pre-corona in the post corona world as it undoubtedly will. He needs to keep Johnson and Starmer's feet to the fire on that, as our values simply have to change.

I do think that the new regime may want to keep a bit of distance as well....at least Starmer was able to work with Corbyn. Personally I think that the Momentum/"far" left will fade in time. Whether Labour become a serious force remains to be seen
