Cruella Braverman...

[Milkfloat]

The truth is that your mate Foodie regularly abuses and mocks women in power, especially using their heritage. You are now defending that behaviour because you don't want to accept that he is a racist.

I have never used race to belittle anyone. It isn't righteous indignation, it is simply me pointing out we have a racist in our midst, and you are defending him.

Whilst he may mock both men and women in power, I don't think their heritage/race has ever been bought into it, just their character and beliefs. Do you have any examples?

In what sense is either Pritti Nazi or Cruella Braverman using race?

If she were labelled Pritti P*k* I could see your point.

So far as I can see he's used nick names for two successive holders of one of the great offices of state.

Are you suggesting that if holders were (a) Michael Gove and (b) Jacob Rees-Mogg then there would be no such names?

Personally, I find it quite a positive thing that it is regarded as acceptable to assign nicknames to Politicians, regardless of their ethnic background, and/or gender. To me it shows we are indeed inching toward equality. My agreement, or otherwise, with the sentiment behind the nicknames is of no consequence, in this context.

Without speaking for Fabbers, maybe he has not been able to come up with a comedy (or otherwise) nickname for Mary Truss yet.

Could you explain the comedy behind calling an Asian woman a Nazi?

I said 'heritage', not race. Read it again.

Names are part of ones heritage. Or would you disagree with that?

Her ethnicity has nothing to do with it.

Her attitude has everthing to do with it.

HTH

Names are our heritage.

So there is no comedy from calling someone a Nazi then?

Braverman's forename is Sue-Ellen. Suella is a shortening.

Who said there was? The sobriquet is directed at a politician with what many consider to be highly unpleasant views. It makes a point about her political stance. You may well disagree and find her views acceptable, but you seem not to wish to enlighten us in that respect.

Arguably it's bad taste to label ANY politician a Nazi.

There's no racial (or heritage) reason to hold off the epithet from Patel or any other dark skinned person who assumes the office of Home Sec.

Failing Grayling, Useless Eustace, Esther McVile and Jeremy Cünt only received abuse because of their whiteness, presumably.

Is this your first go at being PC ?

 

[Rusty Nails]

It's a fairly common right-wing trope: to cast any criticism of a non-white politician as somehow racist. Standard deflection from the actual issue. The righteous indignation is almost convincing.

That has often been the attitude of left-wingers to people who criticise Diane Abbott and to a lesser extent David Lammy and Dawn Butler.

Accusations of racism are often used to deflect or shut down debate as in this thread.

But there is already a thread on suella braverman opened up in my 2022 by @Bromptonaut to were he used her proper name. So why open up another using another name, why not just use the original one???

or is it because flabbers opened it, then its ok, cause you all like him and hes part of your clan???
