Do people really believe the bollocks about 'snowflakes'?

Well there is clearly a difference between having a different opinion about the destruction of statues and someone who denies that black people in today's society are still discriminated against and say that , and I quote from another cardiff city website , these blacks are lazy and always play the race card

I like pie , hes a very funny guy , I think his comments about jk rowling getting abuse are spot on

But he seems to be suggesting here that racism , for example , isnt as bad as it used to be so we should stop going on about it

It is a fact that you are 7 times more likely to be stopped by the police in south wales if you are black . Therefore if the police , the up holders of law and order have an element of prejudiced people working for them then it's more than likely that the rest of society does too.

It's a spoof, his real name is Tom Walker, his character is playing out the personal views of a political reporter.

He is absolutely spot on about Identity politics.

Would those police officers involved in say Operation Trident, set up to fight back on black violence be automatically racist as a result, Sludge?

There was a video going round of police stopping and searching black youth from a few days ago. He was a bit lippy. Black woman walking by interjects herself into it - "why are you stopping him? He doesn't want to be searched".

Policeman finds a 9 inch knife on the kid, shows it to the woman and says "That's why he didn't want to be searched".

Her response? Passive-aggressve "I don't like your tone, you're being rude to me".

Now, the kid was stopped, a dangerous weapon was found and he was nicked. Should that be invalidated because black people are stopped more and thus the policy must be racist?

Pointing out a basic and bleeding ( pun intended ) obvious biological fact isn't prejudicing or inciting hate of trans women.

I'll be honest, I don't know the exact ins and outs of Graham Lineham's situation but from the tweets I've seen he can be pretty aggressive and vile. I've heard a big part of the complaints against him were him suggesting kids were being groomed by innocent trans people, I don't think it was as simple as him going "hey guys, trans women can't menstruate", no one gets booted off Twitter just for that.

But, like I said, I'm no expert on the whole thing

The term is absolute bollocks and when people use it I ignore it completely.

No the stopping of that youth was correct

But black people are stopped simply because they are black , which is clearly racist

Operation trident is an initiative everybody should support but a police officer who is racist is racist if hes in trident or walking the beat in chelsea

He begins as a reporter then steps into his real views

They have been overwhelmingly left wing , attacking Theresa may , the brexit voters , boris etc and I agree with his stance

But here he is giving his real views on political correctness and I dont agree with him
