Boris Johnson's Latest 'Gaff'

some fat, blonde Bullington boy

That does seem to be a discriminatory remark, to be fair oldbatty. Fair do's; you can't diss one section of society to prove a point about discrimination of another.

It would appear to be a racist remark and discriminatory against fat people too.

But perhaps, to be fair, oldbatty cannot see that.

Must have touched a nerve. On that basis I will ignore your comment:
you disgust me.

But he is fat!

Perhaps it was just a gaffe?

It occurs to me that many comments on here are against GN guidelines, but it’s far better (IMO) to ‘slug it out’ rather than run screaming to GNHQ.

OldMeg [ shock

That was supposed to be at the fat comment

But he is fat

You're beginning to over egg the pudding on being non discriminatory here oldbatty, which is a shame because I was almost with you on this subject. If you were to change the words "fat blonde", to "fat black" you'd offend a great many people, and quite rightly so. Non of us on here have any idea of each other's ethnicity and you should not assume that what you're saying in defence of racism against ethnic minorities, isn't causing offence to other ethnicities. It's a fine line you're treading.

Where is the race comment please?

I dont think blonde is a race?

Boris is a male, with a privileged backgound, in a position of power.

I think he can stand up for himself. Whereas the daleks/letter boxes cannot.

what is my own kind

Why not?

It isn't is it oldbatty. But where did I say that you were being racist hmm? If you read my post, carefully again, you'll see that I said "isn't causing offence to other ethnicities".

It would appear to be a racist remark and discriminatory against fat people too.

its not all about you.

anyway back to the fictitious nursery

You're quite unpleasant aren't you oldbatty?

I await an update on the nursery where children are denied face to face contact, the people who think its fun to talk about daleks, post boxes and moving black objects.

Wait on your own then.

This is where the colonial memshaib is demonstrated.
Those who consider those of ethnic minorities are of lower intellectual, educational and mental capacity and must be treated as poor little things.
Although these people choose to come to live here are from other countries they are effectively citizens of the U.K. Their intellectual, educational and mental capacity is exactly the same as ours (often far greater) and this should be acknowledged and respected.

ethnic minorities is a very large group. I'm not sure who you mean?

"these people" were in many cases encouraged and enticed to this country on the back of our Colonial involvement.

I don't believe anybody is disputing that.
