Yeah,,,, I think it's partly to do with the use of the word "horrible" that makes the comment appear so objectionable..  |

"Labour MP Pat Glass caught on microphone muttering about a member of the public.... calling them a horrible racist,,,  "
Just how is this a racist gaff?
It could be classed as a gaff, but they were not being racist, were they.

"What did the "horrible racist" say? Surely that is relevant to whether or not the MP has made a gaff in how he responded."
Well the MP has apologised for the comment..... so I kinda guess that's a bit like an acknowledgment they think they made a gaff

I believe the apology was for using the term horrible racist to describe a member of the public...... |

The horrible racist called a Polish family on benefits spongers.
Because they are a Polish family, that automatically makes anyone that calls them spongers racist it seems.
Only one point of view is allowed when you are an MP |

To be fair, it does sound like they were racially stereotyping some local people.
The person could have easily made their point without the words 'Polish' or 'sponger'. |

That's the line that's being reported, but it was apparently in the context of a full on "they're coming over here and taking our jobs/benefits/children/young women's virginity" style rant.
Cue the arguments about what defines racism. |

The irony is that Sawley is actually rather a lovely little village, although I've always regarded it to be in Notts rather than Derbys which might explain the comments  |

"It's becoming more publicly acceptable to be a racist that to call someone racist these days   "
This is very much to he point.
Some people are utter racist fuckwit cunts but it's not ok to say that's why they are.

I'm sure some of our forum friends will be suitably apoplectic whilst others may find themselves utterly betrayed that your choice of the word apparently leaves them unable to misconstrue your motivation for informing us of this alleged development in a breaking story ....

I agree, I think her disgust at him was warranted. The fact that she then had to back track and address his stance as a political argument says a lot more about the exit campaign than anything else |

Aww bless you...... Ah but here's the thing,,,,, you see far from me to pore scorn on your blessed attempt to make semblance of the words selected to catch the attention of any passing forumites.....
The fact is all the words in the title are capitalised was is intentional tactic to deflect the potential for anyone misinterpreting it as a sentence or statement
But hey-hoo..... headline writers eh!!! tuh,,,

That is how I read it too. The fact that Labour MP Pat Glass has now made a full public apology for the comments suggests she was in the wrong. Just as Gordon Brown was in 2010 when he called Gillian Duffy a 'bigoted woman' for asking a legitimate question about immigration when he thought the microphone was off. |

Legitimate question phrased in the most bigoted language possible. |

He'll be back. Diane Abbott is every bit as bad as him, but she does it about white people so that's OK. |

"Wasnt aware that polish people were a different race to us. So cant see how the guy was being racist"
They are a different race, race isn't just colour. Gypsies are a race too now. |

"Sorry im not that politicaly correct.my mates mrs who is polish dont see herself as a different race"
Don't sweat it. I only know because I attend classes to keep up with the latest double speak.
A couple of years ago John Terry called someone a 'black cunt' and it was the first word in that insult that offended them!!! |

Does nobody else object to this current trend of secretly recording peoples private conversations and opinions and using them (often without context) to create a "Scandalous" news article?
Surely everyone is entitled to both having their own opinion and to having a private conversation.
Plus, in the last few of these stories, the "scandalous comments" were indeed accurate.... The Chinese guy was rude, them countries were "horribly corrupt" etc.

I have no qualms about calling a spade a spade.......
I don't live in fear of offending anyone who wears their racism or bigotry or homophobia or xenophobia etc etc as a badge of honour....
However I would never suggest someone leans that way without them providing sufficient cause to eliminate all doubt ..

My thoughts exactly. The remark was not part of a public speech and as such is no one else's businness . However some people just seem to enjoy creating problems and trouble . |

I disagree.
There are only 3 political parties that have ever won a general election. 1 of those parties last won in world war one so really it's a choice of two.
What these remarks show is that one of those parties has a nasty habit of branding everyone who disagrees with them with a label ending in 'ist'. It also shows how dillusional the party is about people's concerns over immigration, legitimate or otherwise. |

"Takes me back to the poor old 'bigoted woman'.
Yup...... who was it said it ? . I know it happend in my home town "
That was Gordon Brown who made those comments about life long Labour supporter Gillian Duffy when she asked him a question about immigration during the 2010 general election campaign. |

"I've only seen the headlines about this so don't know all the details, but if the person accused WAS being racist, what's the big deal? "
Nothing, the problem is that the person wasn't being explicitly racist. |
