PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

Brilliant. The rabble of xenophobes and racists are taking the lead from their Fuhrer who called people 'picannines' with 'watermelon smiles' and getting on the case of the super talented England boys. Hurrah! Jolly good show, North Korean Britain!

Racist morons bombard Saka, Rashford and Sancho with 'abhorrent' abuse

The horrific comments toward England players have led to the FA condemning its racist fans and saying they are not 'welcome in following in the team'.

Fortunately #embarrassing is trending at Twitter along with #vile and #racists and #ashamed and #disgraceful so the backlash against Johnson's xenophobic mob is gathering pace. And while the riot police were deployed in the rain last night I understand it passed without incident so fortunately none of them managed to kill 'picanniny' with 'watermelon smile' Stephen Lawrence.
 
#sickening now trending at Twitter. Every morning I vomit into a Tesco bag when I go on the BBC News site and see Alexander Boris hasn't been shifted like a floating log turd that mixes the mind of the overqualified hard working Polish plumber
 
Look, Argonia, you need to post a link for anything you're claiming like that. And I don't think repeating terms used in racist abuse is either necessary or helpful. It's also not 100% clear these are terms from articles that Boris Johnson wrote about the Stephen Lawrence case and changes in the law around the prosecution of racist abuse.

You're a writer. You know about fact checking, source checking and attribution. Yet you're repeating anything you find on Twitter as a fact without verifying it.

Stop. Just please stop.

I'm not just a writer, I'm a historian. So thank you for giving me the respect to say I know about fact-checking, source checking and attribution. But I'm not the world's greatest historian so I often slip up with what E H Carr called the verificable facts of history. I had an issue with Carr - are there facts or is everything interpretation? If you say "HItler came to power in 1933" that could be seen as a fact of history but doesn't it rely upon interpretations of what coming to power means? What is power? Is it concentrated in an elite or dispersed across a population? I used to be very influenced by relativism and Nieztsche's perspectivism but might be drawn back to the view that there are such things as facts which the historian must analyse - so for example it is either a fact that somebody was thrown into the River Thames or it isn't and that fact is verifiable like evidence in science based on empirical observation for example the fact that the sun is the centrre of the solar system as Copernicus and Galileo argued in opposition to the geocentric philoosphy of the church with its Latin-based monopoly on thought and expression.

You're doing that thing again where you post ramblings.

I've had the ramblings of Argonia on ignore for quite a while now, but given the number of comments about their postings I'm seeing, I'm starting to wonder if moderator intervention might be appropriate.

OK fair enough I'll take your advice and listen to your feedback and ease off and go for a walk and an ice-cream in a deckchair. I've said my piece now really and don't want to ruin anyone's day. All I want is a democracy and an open society where there is civilised debate between multiple points of view. Good luck and best wishes. No offence intended at all. Live long and prosper.

Probably fair comment although I checked the stats and I up to 2 visitors a month. You're not exactly President of my fan club but I'll still buy you a pint of Stella in the student bar at the Urban University.
 
Goodbye. Will still be involved to bump threads here and there and like as many posts as I can but I have been hounded off by your angry army of denizens with pitchforks. Wish the same would finally happen with this Johnny Rotten government.

Oh come on. You have not been hounded from here. There have been several requests for you to follow the FAQs which you haven't been doing. You have been treated very very gently because some of us are worried about you. But your persistent thread ramblings are draining us all.

Please seek medical help.

Like I say, medical help is for people who are sick. I wouldn't burden the poor privatised beleagured NHS with my mental health which is just tickety-boo as we finally come towards being some form of a democratic state. But thanks for the concern and the advice equationgirl
