Keir Starmer's time is up

Because unpleasant autistic men are a target group for PA, and generally us autistic people aren’t sadistic nazi nonce types

Their ‘appeal’ to autism (and they do this) is based on the sort of deeply unpleasant mindsets you find in some autistic (almost exclusively male) people. Superiority, sexual entitlement/rage at sexual rejection, resentment of ‘normies’.

I’d prefer to know what the recruitment strategies of Hitler idolising cults were.

Without linking to very unpleasant material I’m not sure what more I can say. Those who move in the same circles as that yoga teacher make a big thing about being autistic, and claim a link between autism and far right views (Edward Dutton, a deeply unpleasant autistic man, has produced material on the latter)

If groups like this target autistic people that is a valid observation, but saying "there are some very unpleasant autistic men" appears simply unnecessary when commenting on those organising around deeply repugnant world views.

The more you say about this, the more uncomfortable I'm finding this. With the exception of "resentment of ‘normies", these would appear to be antisocial attributes that might be found widely in society and almost certainly in higher concentrations in groups drawn together by an antisocial world view. I don't understand why you'd feel it necessary to draw attention to the 'unpleasantness' of a sub-set of followers that happen to be autistic.
 
Stereotyping minority groups can often lead to upset, but you're probably right that this thread derail is closed.
 
Damn, you're right, the best way to oppose racism is to talk about something else and pretend racism isn't an actual issue. That's always worked really well in the past.

He did talk about racism?? Just not on the caller's race oriented terms. He talked (in an unfocused non committal way, he is Sir Keith after all) about real issues not the made up ones the caller was on about. That was absolutely not the time and place to start trying to debunk replacement theory and it would have had a knock on effect on BLM if he had tried. People are going to listen to this stuff because it plays to their fears and that's not going to change if you unpick some of the details in a couple minutes on a phone in. Starmer made BLM look like they are harmless to white people (which they are of course) and that's exactly the opposite of the caller's implication. Job well done.

The state of this:

Child pornography, Nazi posters on the walls, explosives manuals, terrorist forums, etc.

I don't know what's more shocking - that he got a suspended sentence or that his parents didn't have a clue.

I'd heard about Kingston juries, I didn't realise they took their cue from the bench :hmm:
 
If this year has taught me anything, it really is that most anarchists are just wet bloody liberals

He didn’t talk about racism. He made a decent case about continuing to take a knee to highlight the need to oppose racism. But he didn’t talk about it, he just took it as read that everyone thinks racism is bad. Anyone listening who didn’t already agree with him would just think he ignored the question about white people becoming a minority in ‘our own’ country. Because he did. It only required a brief retort Along the lines of ‘people have been saying that since the war, that white people would be a minority by the eighties, the turn of the century, whenever, but it’s just not true’. Ignoring it does nothing to change the terms of the debate and just risks further alienating victims of racism.
 
It's disappointing seeing folk fall in to the centrist soup over this one. It was never just about being cautious about getting stuck in on someone elses terms, but the fact you also had thousands of people listening in and he didn't use one word to rebut the 'great replacement' conspiracy. It's very simple.
If his utmost concern was to keep things civil he could even have quickly said, even after this caller logged off, 'Look, I just want to briefly go back for one second before moving on, because this 'great replacement' idea is very pernicious..'

But no. This is what happens when you focus group the shit out of everything, want to please everyone except the left, and are consequently left being a bit too accommodating in the face of what turns out to be a full-blown white-nationalist.
 
I wasn't aware until now having heard a longer clip that the lovely ethno-nationalist Gemma from Cambridge also said that her hubby had been at the MIllwall game and joined in with the booing...Well colour me surprised.
 
I'm just wondering if the risk of repeating this traumatic incident is what terrified sir keith:

I've never read that full exchange before - pretty interesting 'cause although Brown calls it a disaster after he gets into the car, its actually difficult to imagine a party leader as on top of the detail as he was in that exchange now.
 
I'd reckon that bit was probably/most likely made up just so as to get on to ask the question in the first place.

Could be right :hmm: ...even so...these fuckers know what they're doing. I was also struck by her saying twice 'we're probably quite ignorant about the whole thing' , 'bear with me' , calmly setting the scene, and then going on to very clearly lay out her White Supremacist thinking as if it was the only logical next step...
 
v interesting - may be missing something obvs, but why do we think it's fallen off a cliff ( temporarily or otherwise ), Oct - Dec ?

I'd guess its a combination of Johnson calling him "Captain Hindsight" (which although childish is a criticism that can be made when Starmer isn't actually saying what he would do instead about COVID and quite a few other things), the newness wearing off and in the last few months the row with Corbs (or rather Labour appearing to be split again).
 
The revisionist Starmer clique has suspended Liverpool momentum Merseyside activist Alan Gibbons. Unclear why at this stage, but it seems pretty kafkaesque.
