Takes me back to the days when the NF refused to accept goals by black players. Still the case that few would go along with such views, but racists pushing them are becoming more confident.

The comments have certainly been vile and should be absolutely condemned. But they’re from out and out racists. Yet, Katharine Birbalsingh bizarrely blames the “far left”. Perhaps she needs to look at how such racist and ethnonationlist views are becoming normalised, and who is doing so.

I'm already there, thanks very much. Or, as Lenny Henry once put it, “Enoch Powell's offering us £1,000 to go home. Cool. The train fare's only 10 quid from here to Dudley.”

People are certainly “entitled to choose who governs them”. It's called democracy. I've no problem with white people being in an Indian government, if they've been elected. As for Indian ethnonationalism, which usually expresses itself as Hindu nationalism, I've always opposed it

“You’re racist because you only hate ethnonationalism when it affects white people.” “I oppose all forms of ethnonationalism.” “Yuk, you’re subversive. I prefer you to be racist.”

I guess some people just can’t tell the difference between wanting a non-racialised democracy and wanting colonialism (with a racial hierarchy).

Making an argument is to “strongarm” a people out of their identity? What a snowflake. The fragility exposed here is something I’d worry about more than anything I might say. x.com/AntiNewDems/st…
