It was a feeble and dishonest attack on Bell - one you seem happy to endorse.

However other (more honest) opinions are available!

As usual, far more tolerance has to be given to your side. We are all aware of various animal idioms and expressions, many of which can be applied to all people perfectly innocently, however, we all know the Home Secretary was raised a hindu and the importance of cows to that religion so it was a grossly clumsy and openly racist cartoon that at the very least is guilty of lacking any awareness of racial sensitivities. If you defend it, you have to apply these things consistently.


Again, stirring the pot like it and papers on the opposite side of the political spectrum like to do for shares on social media.

Again, it should be called out.
