Boris Johnson's Daily Mail column and an offensive term about Keir Starmer

[LlynTegid]

Mr Johnson refers to him as Keir Schnorrer. The word schnorrer is a Yiddish word/insult for beggar or scrounger. Mrs Starmer is Jewish.

If any of you meet any Conservative candidates or there are any who do online questions, let them know about this slur and ask whether they think this man is fit to remain in the Conservative party.

I have complained to IPSO.

Really? Bloody hell.

FFS.

If we british Jews don't have to put up with enough anti-semitism right now.

Boris is despicable and yes I will complain.

It's disgusting, unacceptable and completely inappropriate for the paper to print it.

What! Oh my god. I knew antisemitism was growing in the UK - but this is just awful!
Who else can we complain to?

I can't find the column. Op would you mind posting a link?

Boris Johnson has a long history of making racist comments. He is a disgrace.

Oh yes he is indeed a disgrace.

Anti-Semitic and twattish. While being so posh-boy that it will fly over the heads of all but the most knowledgeable racists. I'm assuming Jewish people WILL know which in some ways makes it worse. He can 'get away' with it unlike using a word everyone recognises as racist.

He is just a scumbag.

This sort of revolting language is par for the course with Bozo.

BORIS JOHNSON: Sir Keir Schnorrer plans to slink into No.10 as silently as Larry the cat - then lock us back in the dungeon of Brussels, like a ball-chewing gimp | Daily Mail Online

Thank you. x

Dear Lord.

I saw the article but didn’t know it was an actual insult. I thought it was meant to relate to beIng boring. He really is a despicable human isn’t he

Don’t give the Daily Mail clicks. Copy of article here: https://x.com/Peston/status/1799356939945513340?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet
Horrible.

I assumed snoring as in boring with a few added letters similar to how his name is spelled.
but is being called a beggar or scrounger that bad?

Apart from the antisemitism, which is abhorrent, 'ball-chewing gimp'??

This disgusting man used to be our prime minister.

Robert Peston asks if he is being too sensitive. I actually feel physically ill by his usage of the phrase.

Listen to the Jewish posters.
It's bad.

Id go as far as to say it's hate speech tbh. And I don't say that lightly.

Well, what do you think?

Would you say that this is a complimentary term or a pejorative one?

It's a major misjudgement by the Daily Mail to publish this.

‘Boris Johnson has invoked some of the oldest and most pernicious antisemitic stereotypes in a book he wrote when he was a Conservative shadow minister. He describes “Jewish oligarchs” who run the media, and fiddle the figures to fix elections in their favour.
He portrays a Jewish character, Sammy Katz, with a “proud nose and curly hair”, and paints him as a malevolent, stingy, snake-like Jewish businessman who exploits immigrant workers for profit. There is nothing subtle about this. We know what antisemitism looks like.

‘Johnson has form when it comes to anti-Jewish hatred. As editor of the Spectator he chose to publish articles in which the notorious racist Taki Theodoracopulos boasted of being “an antisemite”, argued black people “have lower IQs than whites” and praised Enoch Powell as a “great man”. Johnson defended Theodoracopulos, calling him a “distinguished columnist”. Even now Johnson continues to cosy up to Donald Trump, despite his rhetoric about Jewish disloyalty and support for neo-Nazis.’

They why not just say Keir Snorer?

He’s a despicable individual isn’t he. Makes my blood boil that he has helped to ruin this country.

Who would have thought Johnson could reach a new low? Despicable and the Mail should know better.

There's some irony in Johnson calling someone else a layabout too.
