Should MP be sacked for using " n "word

Thanks TriciaF. I'm not Jewish but have a number of close friends who are. I joined one of the guided walks in Manchester to mark the Peterloo massacre. It was, as these things are, interesting and always great to walk our city when discussing its history. The radical beginnings of the Manchester Guardian were discussed. I left the walk when another participant began to call one of the Guardians current feature writers a 'Zionist'. That description was supported by the Guide. Manchester has a vibrant jewish community, who have contributed hugely to our city since they first arrived, seeking safety from pogroms in Eastern Europe, or later from Nazi Germany.
I agree with you that our black neighbours have suffered terrible oppression. Their skin colour identifies them, whereas it's more possible to hide your Jewish heritage.

Oh Peterloo! That brings back history lessons at school. Never been to Manchester but I do fancy it.

Manchester is a glory whitewave. Fantastic history, a wonderful town hall and it's small enough to walk. We have great museums and art galleries, the guided walks are usually an absolute joy. Great variety of food outlets and we always look on the bright side ?

Yes have been given it some serious consideration to incorporate it into a Lake District visit some time next year.

I also fancy having a look at Liverpool as well.

Ahh, Liverpool - you'll know about the rivalry between their two main footi teams and ours.
I love Liverpool. It's a beautiful city, vibrant and full of history. There is so much to see. The Tate and the Beatkes stuff on the same site, along with the museum commemorating the city's links with slavery. It's an hour and a half drive from town (Manchester). Yes, do a north west jolly, fit in our cities and the Lakes.

Thanks that's me planning then I love planning holidays.

Anyone who thinks these racist comments are just ' mild ' and if they just think she needs a finger wagging and if they think that awful man shouldn't be improsioned for death threats and if they are fed up with hearing about it then go and read a book it needs talking about it needs uncovering it needs advertising to the highest degree it s been buzzing away for so blooming long and just shows with all the laws and all the equal rights work been done over the last 20 years its all just bubbling away under the surface and some haven't moved on at all
As for the poster who thinks it's the equivalent of calling us Brits obviously they have no idea of the history, the background It is scary that people can be so casual and so ignorant and so blind to it all
And it needs discussing as much as impossible whilst it's still happening

These comments are unacceptable and it is also unacceptable to use the word 'lynching' in reference to an MP. Lynching is associated with white supremacists in America murdering black people - hanging without trial.
But apparently Sometimes you need to express honest anger.

So if she is sacked for using an unacceptable word associated with black people, then McDonnell should be sacked for using an unacceptable word associated with black people too.

Both need to understand the error of their ways - and not just pay lip service with a mealy-mouthed apology.

How ridiculous. "Lynching" isn't a word that is only connected to the murder of black slaves. If you look at Wikipedia you will see that there are many theories as to how the term "lynch" originated - and many examples of lynchings occurring throughout the world.

oh, so that's acceptable then

how strange but then that doesn't surprise me in the slightest
