Idiotic thickos. Yes, another thread!!!

This is what it says:

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown (born Yasmin Damji on 10 December 1949) is AN IRRESPONSIBLE, DIVISIVE, ILL INFORMED AND COWARDLY PERSON. SHE SHOULD NOT BE A JOURNALIST. IT IS AN EMBARASSMENT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH. FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS NOT A CRUTCH TO SUPPORT ONES OWN TWISTED AGENDA. IT IS THERE FOR THE PROTECTION OF EQUALITY. AS YOU WERE ASKED TODAY, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF ON YOUR DEATH YOU HAD A HATEFUL SONG BEING PARADED AMONGST THE PUBLIC AND PROTESTERS WITH ILL INTENTION OUTSIDE YOUR PLACE OF REST? OR MAYBE THE FUNERAL OF A FAMILY MEMBER. IT'S A DISGUSTING AND UNCIVILISED THOUGHT AND MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THAT BEFORE MAKING YOUR BITTER, IMMATURE, HATEFUL AND IRRESPONSIBLE COMMENTS. THANK YOU.

Moved! You'll get Gransnet blacklisted....

But I didn't write it Ana, just copied it? Am I a bad girl again?

You and gillybob are both in a devil-may-care mood today!

GNHQ can delete it if they think fit - but as it's out there on Wiki I don't suppose it matters!

Yes, I'm shortly going off to relive my youth with my oldest friend and our DHs. Should be a great night out.

Oooh I've never been deleted, wonder what it feels like?

You might feel a bit wiped-out...

ho, ho

Yasmin Alibah-Brown she's a strange one. I didn't see Matthew Wright this morning, I did catch YAB on Monday though when not surprisingly she stated that she was not a MT fan, so she's probably cranked her responses up a notch or two since then as the relentless coverage has rolled on. I think she can write wonderfully well and be really even handed, but at times she displays quite racist and sexist opinions. There's a reasonably well known interview she did with Richard Bacon that is on Youtube, when he was standing in for Matthew Wright and she said something along the lines of "I wish all you white middle class men would just disappear and then we could step up" this is not verbatim, but I gather the gist of what she was saying was that she thought there were too many white middle class men in key positions, which of course is undoubtedly true. Nevertheless, the way she voiced that opinion caused Richard Bacon to respond with something like "are you allowed to say that?"

When I see her on Matthew Wright I don't think she comes over well, she goes into sniffy mode all too often and adjusts her cardigan, as if there is a chill wind, when an opinion opposite to the one she holds is expressed. I've read quite a lot of her articles in the Independent and again on occasions she puts forward some chippy points of view, the one that comes to mind is her complaining about the current fashion for nude shoes not matching darker skin tones!

I accept that MT was not everyone's cup of tea but I hate all this "dancing on her grave" attitude, although the coverage is unremitting. I don't think anyone on the left does their cause any good spitting out that sort of vitriol, I thought Ed Milliband's speech was very gracious.

Blimey Movedalot whoever wrote that little piece didn't mince their words did they. I feel gutted that I don't know her now. Mind you she sounds like a right nasty cow woman to me.

Hope you are wearing your stilettos on your night out Movedalot . Have one for me won't you.

Bacon asked if she didn't think her comments about middle-class white men were racist and she said something like, 'Yes, of course they are'.

Moved I love the idea about "how would you feel if on your death..."

Whoever ranted that has obviously not seen the funnyside of that comment.

Greatnan This is now the third time I have asked you to respond. We have been here before haven't we? You are not alone in leaving a thread when you have been asked to explain yourself but it does seem a shame to me.

This is what I said:

"Greatnan why is it that you always put the worst possible interpretation on everything I post?

"Movedalot - does 'blinkered' mean 'not agreeing with me'? Are you ever blinkered or does it only apply to other people?"

You know full well that I am talking about only seeing one point of view and not admitting that there is any other view. I just don't understand why you do this all the time. What on earth motivates you?

I have used the word 'balanced' but you fail to notice that."

A response would be appreciated please.
