Please can Harry be dropped from the Fair Cop campaign. Having an overt racist involved will just damage it. Thank you

We are not allowed to post direct links to Crowdfunders. MNHQ will remove the post. In some cases they will also remove the thread - it is better to link to eg the Fair Cop website instead. Wink

Yes I have Red. I am a RF and I think that supporting self promoting racists is not a great look for us.

As Harry was one of the main people that set up Fair Cop I don't think he can or should be dropped. Not sure what MN has to do with this anyway and maybe thread should be deleted??

Harry is now tweeting live from the meeting at the house of lords - very interesting discussion

I just had a look - there are a lot of big hitters speaking - I really hope they get a decent sized audience who are able to take some of it on board.

You haven't answered the question as to why you posted here in FWR, OP. This is NOT the headquarters or control centre for Fair Cop.

I don't believe your faux innocent style of posting, I believe you have an entirely different agenda to the one you are attempting to portray.

I have an idea, OP.

Why don't you ASK Harry, outright, if he hates Muslims. Simple. And allow him to either confirm or deny your interpretation of his tweets.

Because it seems eminently feasible, without further context, that he may have been making the point about acceptable and unacceptable expressions and reactions to hate.
It also seems feasible that he may have been pointing out the hypocrisy of people who condemn one kind of hate and espouse the other.
Possibly he might have been advocating that the statement of hate when pointed at proponents of one ideology - conservatism, should be condemned with equal vehemence as a statement of hate about proponents of another ideology - a religious belief.
He might be denouncing one type of hate and espousing the other.
Or condemning both.

Or, he might have been bluntly announcing that he hates both Muslims and Tories, as you appear to believe.

I haven't the faintest idea, I don't know him, its Twitter.

Do let us know when you've asked him, won't you.

MsMcWibble · 15/05/2019 16:21

Don't be daft. Harry is campaigning for a specific reason, which many people support. Trying to smear him is pretty pathetic really. Just what we've come to expect.

Because I believe that it will ruin the campaign, and hopefully the right people will see it. I have also contacted FC. People should know if they are supporting racism. Feminism is anti-racist.

Exactly what I thought. It's OK to say you hate tories but...

Floisme · 15/05/2019 16:13

Could you explain why you are bringing this up here? This is Mumsnet FWR not Fair Cop.

FloralBunting · 15/05/2019 16:10

Oh, just seen - pic didn't load the first time.

That's not a declaration of hate for Muslims though, is it? He's talking about who you are allowed to publicly express negative things about, surely.

FloralBunting · 15/05/2019 16:08

Ok, slightly confused. In which of the links does Harry say 'I hate Muslims'?

Barracker · 15/05/2019 16:08

(also, you know 'Muslim' isn't a race, yes?)

Barracker · 15/05/2019 16:07

Did you think the statement "I hate Muslims" was his ACTUAL opinion?

Seriously?

Etrusca · 15/05/2019 16:04

In the second picture we can infer a dislike of the burka. That is not racist. It is perfectly normal.

I also dislike the burka and the nikab, or any other form of face veiling. It does not mean that either of us hate Muslims in general.

"I hate Muslims"

"But where is the racism"

Seriously?
