I'm so tired of politicians being spineless when it comes to dealing with racism within their own parties . It's like they're more concerned about their own image than actually doing something to make a difference. Nigel Farage's comments are just the tip of the iceberg - we need to take a closer look at how these parties handle diversity and inclusion, or else we'll keep seeing the same issues resurface .
Farage's 'spineless' moment? More like 45 years late to the party . Like, dude, get over yourself. Alleged racism from college days is not exactly a fresh wound, you know? And yeah, it's pretty convenient that the comments surfaced now when he's under pressure to address the whole 'racism' thing . Newsflash, Nigel: being a prominent figure doesn't mean you get a free pass to be a jerk .
I'm really surprised by how long it took for someone to call out Farage on this one . I mean, it's not like this is a new thing, he's been making headlines for his racist comments before. But you know what really gets me? That Pochin got off scot-free while Farage's trying to distance himself from her crap. It's just so frustrating when people in power use their privilege to silence others and avoid accountability . We need more people like Starmer who aren't afraid to speak up and demand change .
I'm not sure I buy all this ... sources for these alleged comments from 45 years ago would be super helpful here. Can we get them? If they're true, shouldn't they've been brought up sooner? Also, why is it that Farage gets a pass when his own MP makes racist comments but he's the one who needs to take disciplinary action? Not buying the "misremembered events" excuse either... seems like an attempt to deflect from the issue. Need more context before I start hailing Starmer as a hero for finally speaking out
