Calling out a xenophobic white racist?
He has made some ridiculous sweeping statements in the past.
Doesnât endear him to people.
Which one did you call out in your original post?
Kwasi Kwarteng is a fucking gammon if ever Iâve seen one.

And I told you pre-Brexit that by 2020 Boris would be PM if Corbin was voted in as leader of the opposition.
And you were right, although I suspect for reasons entirely different from those youâd considered.
I seem to remember also being told that in no way would he become PM because of the might of Corbin and his followersâŚ
Ok Pap, Iâll bite. This is my original post. What part of this is racist? It is referring, as you know, to Johnsonâs affair with Jennifer Arcuri. It simply refers to Daily Mail readers and their reaction to the latest revelations about the Arcuri affair. How you have managed to turn this into something about racism only you will know.
As I thought. You werenât singling out any one person. Just an imagined horde of people you donât like and a massive fucking generalisation.
Carry on. Keep âcalling it outâ!

If you had read the hundreds of replies in the thread then perhaps you wouldnât see it as a âmassive generalisationâ. Mail readers is used as a collective noun for good reason and yes, I am happy to keep calling them out for their archaic attitudes. It just seems odd that someone with left wing sensibilities gets upset about it.
Maybe sweeping generalisations are the way forward? The dopamine hit from giving it large to imaginary groups of people in online forums has got to be good for our mental health. Iâm coming around to SOGâs way of thinking that all Mail readers are racist shouty gammony cunts, particularly my 80 year old neighbour who âtakesâ the DM every day. The few times she looked after my nipper when i was late, the cakes sheâs baked for us and the generally nice neighbourly attitude count for fuck all now. And iâm convinced the fact sheâs never had a bad word for anyone, irrespective of race and religion donât fool me. After all she voted the Leave the EU and that, along with the DM, is bad enough to put her in the category of xenophobic, racist bastard. She probably even voted Tory, FFS. Iâve been living next to a nazi all this time.

Why on Earth would I do that?
Why on Earth would you do that?
Why would I do what? Call people out for xenophobic/racist attitudes? You called me out for calling a certain type of person a âgammonâ. Why would you do that? Are you saying that you have never used a generalisation?
Why would you:-
a) Go to the Daily Mail website
b) Spend ages reading their comments
Doesnât sound like a particularly fruitful endeavour.
Sweeping generalisations maybe lazy, but they also save a lot of time. Why use 10 words when you can use one or two? I think that we all understand that not all Daily Mail readers are right wing, small minded xenophobes, but enough are to make the comparison worth while. We all know what people mean when they use the words âgammonâ, âsnowflakeâ, âleftieâ etc. We all use lazy abbreviations, even the affronted Pap. It is just on this occasion he has decided to take a comment about the reaction to Boris Johnsonâs relationship with Jennifer Arcuri and turn it into a discussion about Brexit.
Because I had read their article about Johnson/Arcuri and the comments section followed on, so I continued reading. It was fruitful in the sense that it confirmed what I thought about the thought process of a section of their readership.It would be a very ill informed world if people only ever read or listened to things that represented their point of view would it not?
You are all cunts
That ought to cover it

Because it may save time typing a dozen replies trying to justify it?
