Just seems like a disgracefully ignorant racist:

She's 25. She's had a hard fucking 25 years of life. The nasty horrible racist bitch.

mailTo · 15/01/2018 01:03

Where are her full comments? It's hard to judge without it?

AndhowcouldIeverrefuse · 15/01/2018 06:49

Just saw her comments (twitter conversation apparently) about Eastern European women and refugees Shock Can't link at the moment but it's on The Sun.

It's hard to believe anyone could be so vile and ignorant but somehow it does fit in with Twitter.

The texts, for those who've been asking about them. I don't think there's any wiggle room for "context" here.

Meghan is "dumb"? People who live in glass houses...

BertrandRussell · 15/01/2018 07:33

Let's not slag her off for her looks and her age. Plenty of other ammunition.

Battleax · 15/01/2018 07:37

In a context where she is talking to other UKIP racists and they're all agreeing it's fine and just common sense and not racist at all.

It's only when these outside routers trick you into typing what you mean and don't understand the culture wars that it all looks a bit awkward. Because they just don't get it.

Shock horror! UKIP member racist! I can't believe the hypocritical DM being all outraged about racism.

Battleax · 15/01/2018 07:52

He's dumped her, it seems.

in what context does Jo Marney think her comments would not be racist

To answer the original question, her comments wouldn't be though racist at:

  • A Neo-Nazi rally
-a slave auction in 1745 -a eugenics class in the 1920's -a party hosted by Hitler -the Oval Office now -Mar a Lago -Birmingham, Alabama in the 1950's....
Battleax · 15/01/2018 07:56

Or plenty of 'kippers living rooms, UK, 2018 Crazy Which is truly chilling.

areyoubeingserviced · 15/01/2018 07:57

Vile, useless woman.
Poor Meghan, having to put up with all this crap

gunsandbanjos · 15/01/2018 08:01

Maybe she self identifies as 25?

What a vile creature.

Roussette · 15/01/2018 08:02

Disgusting woman. Her tweets are ridiculous... at Christmas posting pictures of a new laptop saying 'lovely present' then an iPhone saying 'more presents!'. The tweets responding to these pics are actually quite funny (along the lines of how many blow jobs did you have to give Henry for the laptop Grin) Henry Bolton is obviously a complete and utter fool going through a midlife crisis. He'll be gone by Wednesday.

Just seen his telly interview... she is utterly distraught apparently. Good

As for her... just a racist, no more no less.

areyoubeingserviced · 15/01/2018 08:03

My dh reckons that she is probably jealous of Meghan Markle. Meghan Markle is attractive, intelligent, successful in her own right. This woman is unattractive, vile , thick and has been dumped by the useless ‘boyfriend ‘ of hers.

Helendee · 15/01/2018 08:03

Not someone I would want to hang out with but I fail to see what her looks have to do with anything, any more than Meghan Markle's?

Battleax · 15/01/2018 08:12

I agree her looks are irrelevant.

insancerre · 15/01/2018 08:19

Apparently she is on the edge of a breakdown, accorfing to her ex on the news this morning
What a shame

LloydColeandtheCoconuts · 15/01/2018 08:24

Not that it’s particularly relevant I’m just bloody nosey but do we know who she was texting?

Iprefercoffeetotea · 15/01/2018 08:29

Her comments are racist but why is he responsible for them? Seems massively sexist to me when someone is made responsible for their woman's bad behaviour - back to the patriarchal society when women have to be supervised by men. If I do/say something it's nothing to do with my husband (or my father or boyfriend, if I am not married).

Not that I have any sympathy for him, given he's UKIP, and nobody with a brain would be involved with them, being BNP lite, but still.

Battleax · 15/01/2018 08:32

Public figures are always judged on the company they keep. Not sexist. Just politics. It's particularly important for a UKIP leader to maintain a veneer of respectability.

WaggyMama · 15/01/2018 08:33

I think Meghan is likely to be the saviour of the Royal family if anything.

Roussette · 15/01/2018 08:34

Henry says she's utterly distraught and then added she never thought these comments would be made public. I bet she didn't!
