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

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.

Barracker · 15/05/2019 16:21

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.

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

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 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.

Concur with grey rock.

Genderfreelass · 15/05/2019 16:33

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??

slycooperatemysocks · 15/05/2019 16:33

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

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

Ffs ISLAM IS NOT A RACE! It’s a choice. It’s a belief that you eother hold or don’t. It is a reflection on your morality and principles etc while race is a reflection on nothing beyond your appearance. Case in point: no matter how hard I try I will never be able to change my race so it would be shitty to make judgements on that basis. However I am no longer Muslim. Feel free to judge away about what that means about the kinds of things I do and do not believe.

slycooperatemysocks · 15/05/2019 16:34

Ok well I have posted the info. Clearly you will continue to centre men over actual women.

slycooperatemysocks · 15/05/2019 16:35

PS Please do support the funder. I support the campaign as I said.

OP posts:
BogglesGoggles · 15/05/2019 16:36

Would also like to point out that there is nothing more #whitefemenism that assuming religion is equivalent to race in POC. Having darker skin doesn’t make you suddenly incapable of free will.

JamB4cream · 15/05/2019 16:36

Op can you post a clickable link to (to twitter) the tweets?

RedDogsBeg · 15/05/2019 16:38

I'll say it again in simple terms - MN FWR are not in control of the Fair Cop campaign, MN FWR did not set it up, MN FWR did not select who should run it or organise it, MN FWR have no influence over it, MN FWR cannot 'drop' someone from it.

Take your issues to those who are, did and can.

slycooperatemysocks · 15/05/2019 16:40

I have already stated that I have done that Red. I feel that others should know whom they are supporting. The fact that you are all frothing over your hero says a lot. Search him in twitter and Tommy Robinson. Search him and muslims. You can check out whether I am telling the truth or not.

OP posts:
JamB4cream · 15/05/2019 16:41

Because without clickable live links to twitter they could just be any old photoshopped screenshots

Needmoresleep · 15/05/2019 16:42

93% of the population are GC. That 83% of the population will have all manner of views on other issues.

It seems only the illiberal left who see the world in black and white: agree with us on everything or you are a bad person.

Harry is defending free speech, which includes an individual's right to disagree with him on some, many or most things. Good on him.

Details of his crowd funder are on his Twitter. He needs help. He is doing this for all of us. (Including our OP.)
