To wonder why there's no BBC Panorama documentary into racism in the Tory party?

[jokeynever]

Strange, isn't it? Must be because of the BBC's well known left wing bias.

What do you mean by first line?

My comment was on the general direction we’re seeing in multiple countries. I thought it would be the case about a year or so ago and it is the case.

So what you seem to be saying in many, many words is "I can't think of any far right policies enacted by this government, despite their very large parliamentary majority".

@CoatRack some of their policies are deemed far right like the Rwanda project. Their rhetoric is far right don’t you agree ? Hostile environment? Treatment of the Windrush generation. Culture wars. Denigration of minorities whether it be the poor, benefit claimants, disabled, immigrants, trans people.
The far right policies often don’t get through the Lords thank goodness but the intention is there.

Ok. You ignore the obvious drift. I’m not playing games about it.

So obvious you can't think of anything...

Ok.
ive given you several concrete examples of a drift to far right positions, as have other posters. The far right doesn’t turn up with jackboots etc. it’s a drift. Are you going to just let it happen because…we’ll, why, actually?

I couldn't care less what governments say; I care about what they do.

Evidently this one has not done anything far right because nobody can name anything, nor can they define it.

Several examples

Recap those for me?

Do you not think their treatment of Refugees is unlawful? They aren't illegal migrants, they are Refugees.

Do you not think how they treated the windrush generation was pretty far right? That's what they DID.

Oh, I can see you didn’t appreciate that. Don’t shoot the messenger, I didn’t write the report.

Why is that surprising to you considering that antisemitism is a problem for you, but yet you are happy to completely dismiss the rampant racism this woman faces?

What about the anti - English/anti white from Humza and the SNP? Have you heard his white speech, and the hatred I. His voice as spoke? Have you seen the Police Scotland Hate Monster targeting you g white men?

What that Tory donor said about Diane Abbott was racist. Unambiguously. However, the constant claims that the Tories are institutionally racist, or “Islamophobic”, is a trick designed to take attention away from the anti-Semitic hatred of the left.

100% this!!

What treatment? How many have been shot?
The illegal migrants don't deserve anything, on account of them entering the country illegally.

Oof. You've got me with the windrush, it was pretty far right of them to apologise and offer compensation etc...

Fair question

Refugees have a legal right to seek asylum. Why are you being untruthful?

The windrush generation were offered compensation after they fought for their rights. I've yet to speak to any who have received such a thing.

If your moral compass is that lacking at least think before you speak.

And it was pretty far right of them to deport/detain them don't you think? Nah, course you don't. You're of the "I'm alright jack" mentality

Wow, that descended into a bun fight awfully quickly!

@jokeynever - because Panorama investigations usually take many months of investigative journalism, they aren't just reacting to recent scandals.

(and of course the "is water wet?" comments are also valid - racism in many British institutions is endemic)

Off topic but water isn't actually wet - wet is a feeling.

Sorry 😆

I think you're a bit warped if you think deporting people is far right.

Some people break into your house one night.
You say: "Oi wtf get out"
They say: "but we're refugees"
You say: "why are you holding Eiffel tower souvenirs?"
They say: "...we're refugees"
You say (presumably): "Take my children's' rooms, stay as long as you like."

So virtuous

I don’t think you’ve been living in the UK… you couldn’t possibly have been to argue that claims of racism and Islamophobia are less legitimate than those of antisemitism.

Labour has not even been in government. Meanwhile:

• Windrush
• Hostile Environment
• Islamophobia in the wake of Brexit
• Stoking the culture wars (which Jewish people are also victims of, I do not think they’re doing this for their benefit)
• Rwanda & Bibby Stockholm

That’s before you consider the amount of times they have hit the press because some MP cannot exercise basic judgement. Then that’s before you consider that poc are more likely to be working in class so existing socio economic disparities have worsened. It is not reasonable to think that one group has reason to complain but the rest of us should put up and shut up when arguably we deal with more consistent prejudice.

😂like @cardibach says, far right doesn’t mean jackboots at dawn or political opponents being rounded up and shot, it means shutting down the opposition, stopping democratic means of protesting, ostracising minorities to achieve a certain objective, encouraging ‘culture wars’ to divide people, trying to maliciously influence the democratic process like preventing individuals from voting….if those aren’t the actions of a government rapidly turning far right what are ? Many commentators have suggested that the Overton window is shifting and not just left supporting ones. Danny Kruger and Miriam Cates are great examples of influential mps deemed as up and coming whose views are decidedly dodgy, look them up…. But then you’re here to deflect aren’t you 😂

Deporting British people is. Learn your history.

@CoatRack I was refereeing to deportation/detaining people of the windrush generation. Considering you didn't pick up on that, I'm guessing you have no real clue what's been happening.

They didn't break in to anywhere or steal anywhere to use your crappy analogy.

As for so virtuous, you are so ignorant
