DP called me a middle class racist

[Whoswhoof]

Just now. Discussing the upcoming election. Both always voted labour. I said I’m voting Tory in the upcoming GE for a multitude of reasons, some of which come under the bracket of gender identity, kids sex ed, general tightening of illegal immigration, not taxing private schools. I explained you kind of just have to vote for the party that most aligns with your beliefs as you’re never going to agree with all of them (I don’t agree with a lot of Tory policies, but the ones that are important to me are relevant)

DP then jokes “So you’re a middle class racist now!” Then says only joking. DP will be voting labour.

Aibu to think this is quite out of order?

edited for typo!

As a rape survivor myself I will eye roll those who want to restrict access to safe spaces for all.

My support groups are loving and inclusive of all genders who are impacted by rape and sexual assault.

Nigel Farages son was expelled from ours 🤣

I'd be pretty shocked if DH said he was voting Conservative after voting Labour - especially as there are a fair few people planning to do the opposite currently after the supreme shit show of the last few years.

They've changed the policy on single sex hospital wards. That's more than Labour has done (and I say this as a Labour supporter).

Oh do shut up - I have on this site for a decade or more. And I am sick and tired of the lefties assuming the moral high ground when they are in fact racist. If you are genuinely in fear of your life you are not going to care if you are end up in Rwanda or Reading!

Yep that’s what a lot of people who don’t vote conservative say, all it does is shut down debate and silence many people’s legitimate concerns. I have it at work, someone butted into a conversation I was having about the previous election and said I was homophobic for voting conservative. Was so shocked I didn’t say anything at the time- wish I had now- not least because I’m bisexual anyways!

All genders Wtaf!

Hit a nerve have I?

Im a racist? For what? Accurately writing down every single major issue with a country you think is great.

Do you agree with a gang of men raping a newborn to death? As the Rwandan government do. They fund the groups doing it.

You need to stop before you are banned.

After the Windrush scandal you’re still voting Tory? FFS. Unbelievable.

Stop what? Writing down basic facts you don’t seem to like.

for someone who is so supportive of women’s rights I’m surprised you’re ok with the mass rape and torture committed in the DRC backed by Rwanda of women and children.

Why do you think it isn’t fabulous? Because it doesn’t fit in with your narrow world view”

You've lived in Rwanda, obviously. What is it about the country that you found fabulous?

It’s well known that unisex spaces have a far higher rate of rape and sexual assault.

Putting lives at risk is not what we should be voting for if we care for all humanity.

Whatever yours or your partner's politics, it is out of order to call someone names like that just because you disagree with them.
If he can't have a mature discussion, it just goes to show the caliber of the man.

If Women want to vote for the conservatives because it’s their only chance to preserve women’s rights, they can. End of.

It’s still a vanishingly low risk

And when you take into account other factors the rewards far outweigh the risks.

No, answer @MrsSkylerWhite and say what you love about Rwanda

@RaverQuavers don't patronise me. I literally have a degree in politics.

Op why isn’t your dh concerned about women’s rights, I know my dh is very worried about it.

Oh mate. You really have drunk the Kool-Aid, haven’t you? Conservatives preserving women’s’ rights? Lordy.

The Windrush people came here in 1948 under the Labour Government at the time who gave them no legal long term rights and protection in the UK.

This came to light in 2017/18. That doesn’t make it the fault of the Conservatives who dealt with it.

Its the fault of Labour in 1948

Oh I bet he is

as worried as his wife - who thinks a country with a piss poor track record of women’s rights is a great place to live

No other Party is.
Its an absolute disgrace

Is no one bothering to read and understand policy. Lordy!

You sound like a great person op that has totally understood the risks to women under Labour..

Eh? Sorry @RaverQuavers, don’t understand your question.

If it helps, there’s nothing whatsoever that I love about Rwanda?
