Oh I had no idea TT wss trans lol, learn something every day.

Also yes please correct your post Private Speech, Rarity is very good people and distinctly doesn't make racist posts.
TT was (afaik) the first trans UKMT regular.

And therefore, through the rules of cis supremacy, every trans UKMT regular, but cis supremacy is extremely poo poo so let's try to consciously avoid that.

Of course, there are other coconut related crimes itt, including wrongthink about mini bounties.

I think you're doing this on purpose now.

quote:

Clapton told the crowd that England had "become overcrowded" and that they should vote for Powell to stop Britain from becoming "a black colony". He also told the audience that Britain should "get the foreigners out, get the wogs out, get the coons out", and then he repeatedly shouted the National Front slogan "Keep Britain White".

e: In 1952 Britain was also racist (archival photo).

Yeah okay Clapton was on purpose because it's just so dumb for a man who made his whole career covering superior black artists music to also be a massive racist.

If I recall his excuse after that speech was that he was pretending to do a Monty Python sketch. Which is apt because Cleese is also a massive racist.

I don't think they're card-carrying Tories, at least not under the current state of the party. IIRC Clarkson was very involved with New Labour types, known to party with the Blairs, etc. He's also spoken out against Brexit, presumably because it might make it harder for him to cross the channel and insult the French.

They probably vote Lib Dem now or at least will say they do

I used to enjoy listening to my parents' old tapes of I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again, which had John Cleese and Bill Oddie and a few others.

Then I remembered the sketch where they did Song of the South which managed to outdo the original story for being insanely racist, which kind of took the shine off the happy childhood memories.

https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2016/apr/14/stephen-fry-sorry-for-telling-pitying-abuse-victims-to-grow-up

quote:

Stephen Fry has apologised for remarks that suggested he believed survivors of sexual abuse who pity themselves should “grow up”.

The actor and broadcaster, who is president of the mental health charity Mind, was criticised for the comments made on the US talk show The Rubin Report.

In a statement on the Mind website, he said: “It distresses me greatly to think that I have upset anyone in the course of the TV interview I had with David Rubin the other week.

“I of course apologise unreservedly for hurting feelings the way I did. That was never my purpose.”

He added: “There are few experiences more terrible, traumatic and horrifying than rape and abuse and if I gave the impression that I belittled those crimes and the effects they have on their victims then I am so, so sorry.

“It seems I must have utterly failed to get across what I was actually trying to say and instead offended and upset people who didn’t deserve to be offended or upset.”

Mind said: “We understand why some people may have been upset by Stephen Fry’s remarks in a recent American TV interview. Stephen was speaking in a personal context, giving his own views as part of a longer discussion on the subject of freedom of speech.”

The charity praised Fry, who is currently working in the US, for his work to raise awareness and understanding of bipolar disorder and other mental health problems.

During the interview, which Rubin posted on YouTube on 4 April, Fry said: “There are many great plays which contain rapes, and the word rape now is even considered a rape.

“They’re terrible things and they have to be thought about, clearly, but if you say you can’t watch this play, you can’t watch Titus Andronicus, or you can’t read it in a Shakespeare class, or you can’t read Macbeth because it’s got children being killed in it, it might trigger something when you were young that upset you once, because uncle touched you in a nasty place, well, I’m sorry.

“It’s a great shame and we’re all very sorry that your uncle touched you in that nasty place – you get some of my sympathy – but your self-pity gets none of my sympathy because self-pity is the ugliest emotion in humanity.”

The 58-year-old went on to say: “Grow up.”

Fry was criticised by victims of sexual assault, including Tracey Merrett, who wrote the actor an open letter in the New Day newspaper, saying: “I felt angry that you would say such heartless, glib things so publicly – tarring us all with one big ‘abuse’ brush.”

Also his comments about "women stop complaining about men and about dating being hard, why don't women just go cottaging like gay men do" came off a bit "if I were black..."

It's mild compared to the other people mentioned being white supremacists and domestic abuse apologists. He's also not really talked about it beyond that, I think? He's not gone full FBPE banging on about Corbyn constantly on Twitter, I mean.

It's sad that people are disillusioned with Labour but that's hardly surprising given the entire press has an agenda against him.

However, people are stupid if they can't critically think beyond that. Especially someone as smart as Prof Charles Picard

I mean, People's Vote is actual Labour policy (yet not the Lib Dems' these days) and the Greens are still socialists so he's proooobably not Wallworthy based on that.
