David Lammy Retweeted Leave.EU

Anne Widdecombe just compared Britain leaving the EU to "slaves" rising up "against their owners".

It is impossible to explain how offensive and ahistorical it is for you to equate my ancestors tearing off their chains with your small-minded nationalist project. Shame on you.
Report Reynard July 4, 2019 11:16 PM BST
I think it's not a bad analogy , in fairness . I think she's implying that we are political slaves and whilst I don't necessarily agree with her view it does seem an interesting angle to come from in order to get her point across .
Is Lammy implying that his ancestors literally 'tore their chains off' ? If that is the case , as opposed to their masters using a key , then maybe they should have done it sooner and secured their freedom rather than wait for William Wilberforce to come to their rescue Mischief

Lammy is extremely racist but is too arrogant to see it has no idea how to treat people equally notice he didn't moan about the peasants revolt part wac.

Just a quick one for scum bags like Sonko (a bitter little bigot who doesn’t know the difference between their and there) - slaves were taken from their homes and worked until they were dead.

To compare that to being a member state of the EU is grotesque. Of course people like Sonko have never read a history book so he doesn’t know better.

Thick as two short planks and a scum bag as well. Imagine having nothing better to do with your pathetic life than compare your life to that of a slave.

This Brexit is the longest goodbye ever, and the longest moan ever.
Are any of the other 27 EU members in slavery?
Will we get a victim impact statement when the UK finally leaves (if they ever leave).

Lol.

Nevertheless David Lammy is rapidly becoming the BBC's spokesperson on racial matters.

The rarely fail to wheel him out for comments on stuff like this.

A nice cushy BBC job awaits.
Report Dr Crippen July 5, 2019 11:05 AM BST
By the way I'm surprised no one has brought up the famous quote from Boris Johnson about EU punishment beatings for voting to leave.

That would sit nicely alongside the splendid comments from Ann Widdecombe.

Embarassing that after 3 or so years of it, some people are still besotted by the rhetoric of professional politicians.

It'll be getting to the stage firemen [1] will be scared to rescue black people from burning builings in case twitter mobs led by the likes of lammy accuse them of being "white saviours". Actually I wrote that as a joke but after a quick google, needless to say, that total c0ckwomble has been at the forefront of the "white saviour" nonsense, somewhere in my mind it must have remembered that .. or maybe (and this is more likely) he's just totally predictable.

Your appraisal of thegiggilo is quite unfair imo. you should learn to take his contrasting horse racing write ups mistakes and all with a pinch of salt.

Unfortunately this one way racism will not last forever the rich white folk won't give it all away and the rest will cotton on eventually,funny how plain speaking honest people rattle the nasty dishonest cages.
