Look on with dismay



Tory culture wars have made UK less safe for gay people, says Chris Bryant

Speaking to Nick Robinson’s Political Thinking, produced by the BBC, Bryant said that while he did not believe Boris Johnson was personally homophobic, attempts to stir social divisions inevitably meant people from minority groups would be targeted.

“They’ve learned this trick in America from Trump and, in the end, culture wars will always pick on those who are slightly different and that means the gays, the Jews and the blacks and that’s always the list that crops up whenever a populist government gets into power,” Bryant argued.

So often political obsessives appear to speak without listening to their own words. Of course the political game is a culture war. Bryant's party never plays it any other way - wouldn't know how. Anyone looking for rational discourse must look on with dismay at such witless nonsense. I'm surprised the BBC...

...no I'm not.

Given that his party is becoming The Moslem Party, he might care to think twice about this 'ere 'atred of gays and women. And as for Jews, say no more. Even the party accuses the party of being anti-semitic.

dearieme - yes the party knows it is anti-semitic. A strange evasive world.

Perhaps if these screeching minorities stopped trying to shove their kinks down the throats of us "normals" they might be better received and feel less marginalised. Then again, that would also impact on their self-importance . . .

Jannie - yes they would be better received and would feel less marginalised. Maintaining the screeching has become a business though and until that is dealt with the nonsense will continue.
