But you are happy to accuse anyone who doesn't follow your own political viewpoint as racist idiots, on the basis that they absolutely have to hate having a non-white leader, despite him being a British citizen by birth and despite the UK being demonstrably one of the most open societies in the world.

You really do need to look in the mirror. Or work harder on your trolling skills.

Interesting ... so calling out racists for being racist idiots ... is now racist?

If the cap fits mate, wear it.

I'm saying it's quite clear, since we're on to the 3rd PM in 6 months.
It would appear to some that if there was a genuinely viable contender, they would have stepped forward by now, there's been enough opportunity for them to do so.

Stepping up and getting picked are not necessarily the same thing especially when the government and party members have quite different views and the party is (demonstrably) happy to pick someone who isn't a good option.

Who, in the current Conservative Party, do you think would make a good PM, who would have the nation's best interests at heart and has integrity?

Rishi. He stepped up and was the clear favourite among his peers, widely respected even on the opposition benches, and now it's been realised that#s what should have been done a few weeks back.
He has a good reputation in his constituency, isn't prone to histrionics, and in the things that matters was popular as chancellor (it's only his wife's tax affairs and a silly party-gate incident that turned people off him).

I think Penny or Tom might have also been reasonable fits for your criteria although right now someone untested seems a bad idea.

It's really edifying when two grown men just compete "you're a racist" "no you are". Stop bickering like little children, or take it to DMs if you must.

You do realise this is General, don't you?

Not at all. Racism is merely one admittedly serious example of the application of blind prejudice against another by some totally arbitrary and non-justifiable characteristic. Which is what you've done and what I was referring to.

Don't you f***ing dare. You know absolutely nothing about me. Keep your blind prejudices to yourself.

Interesting you think that, given I've been reading your posts on here for 5+ years. So I think I know you, or at least your online persona, quite well. So any judgement I make on you or others is based on what you openly write on here.

And others equally make the same judgement on me based on my postings.

So no, not blind prejudice and given I have no idea what you look like, not based on your physical characteristics either.

We know you're a bit thin-skinned for someone so uncompromising and vocal in sharing their own views.

Not at all. But refusing to be labelled a bigoted racist, which was what I took from the earlier post, when I am nothing of the sort, is not being thin-skinned.

In General? Good luck with that…
