“I’m not racist but…” —->>> “I’m just asking questions” “I have legitimate concerns”

“I have ill-informed concerns.”

Well yes, and “I’m just asking questions” = “I’m a nefarious fucking troll.”

And likewise, "I'm not transphobic but..." "I'm just asking questions..." "I have legitimate concerns..." .... which involve the repression & removal of rights of a whole section of society for no reason at all

The all-encapsulating pronouncement on Brexit. Loved the Trump callback later too. Spot on in both cases.

Had a few words with a mate who said "not all reform voters are racist" after i said "all racists probably vote reform". He still can't see it and calls me liberal & woke 🤣

Absolutely spot on (and I say this as no fan of Self) and it cracks me up every time seeing the video of that bumptious little twerp Mark Francois trying to stare him down when he made the same point post 16th June.

Curious as to why you felt you had to mention you're not a fan of one of my favourite authors? Seriously, not trolling, just wondering if he's done something awful that I wasn't aware of.

I'm not aware of anything particularly awful that he's done. I just don't particularly care for him, nor his work. I just mentioned I'm not fan of his to drive home the fact that if almost anyone is on a different side to an unpleasant, xenophobic, blob such as Mark Francois then I'm with them!

That's a relief. I can see he's not to everyone's taste, their loss, but the way you put it made me concerned :)
