To coin a popular phrase, Heath, where have I said that having an agenda is a problem? I haven’t and it isn’t, nor was I suggesting or implying otherwise. As for Hussey not knowing she was being racist, of course, how silly of me. Given all that experience to which you refer I’m sure she must have thought to herself “I’ll make use of all of this great experience that I have, go up to that black woman and racially abuse her in the middle of this high profile event at Buckingham palace. After all, what could possibly go wrong.”
Deerey, of course you think my comment was unbalanced, I wouldn’t expect you or any of your mates on here to think anything else. Fulani’s agenda fits your agenda just as it fits all those on the left, but I bet anything that if a white, 83 year-old working class woman had done and said exactly the same as Hussey we would never have heard anything about it.
This has absolutely nothing whatever to do with ‘moral superiority’, which is as ridiculous as your stereotypical view of PR is ignorant. Whether you’re prepared to admit it or not the simple truth is that Fulani is a left-wing activist who could have used what happened to make a valid point and educate. Instead, she chose to turn this into a highly politicised black versus white battle, which has very successfully polarised people’s views and provided perfect ammunition for those on the far right to push their racist agenda. Wow, what a victory.
IA, no prizes for guessing it’s the usual suspects who will have the more ‘balanced’ agendas, which is ironic to say the least; and, Fans, why would anyone be remotely surprised that the majority of Tories you come across are perfectly happy to excuse racism to suit their own purposes. Not that either of you are remotely biased, of course, so this must perfectly reflect the real world.
