People in Tory party should listen to Conservative Muslims and support them.

Not look for an ulterior motive, as I see Fabricant is already doing. Listen and support a minority in a political party who are complaining about the discrimination and prejudice they are receiving. Not wheel out a pro Johnson Muslim and say there isn’t a problem.

Edit. Oh and those on the left who are rightfully condemning tonight's story but never said a word about what went on in the Labour Party over the past six years. Or at worst, trivialised it and attacked those who spoke out. Don’t bother contributing.

The independent evidence of racism and its prevalence in UK politics is well documented. And has been even despite the last half-dozen years of overblown accusations and outright denials.

People have been disingenuous about that evidence for political purposes. And thrown a lot of people (minorities and genuine anti-racists) under the bus.

Spare me the sanctimony.

Islamophobia has become acceptable in the mainstream.

In fact it’s become somewhat of the establishment position. That’s why someone like Trevor Phillips can not just get away with saying things about Muslims that are incredibly racist but he’ll still be treated as a serious political pundit on TV and invited back into the Labour Party.

Of course, Islamophobia is even worse in the Tory party (just under a half of Conservative members think that Muslims are a threat to the UK) but we’ve all been waving this stuff through for years.

It’s really time to get serious about racism from an independent, evidence-based approach rather than the political football it’s become.

Right-wingers policing racism debates ...

Whether Ghani was or wasn’t sacked for being a Muslim, Fabricant’s framing of it is so dodgy. He’s obviously a bit of a tw@t.

I hope the host pulled him up on that. But I doubt it.

He's trying, bless him.

Imagine being so pathetic that you'd risk what little credibility you have defending 'boris' johnson and this shambles of a government.

That Fabricant has been an MP for so long is bewildering. We deserve better, even from Tories.

Perhaps someone could explain the difference between anti Semitism, and opposition to what the Israeli government is doing in Palestine

0r perhaps they already have, but that has gone over your head

As to being centrist, I would suggest that is just a word to explain ignorant and ill informed.

"As to being centrist, I would suggest that is just a word to explain ignorant and ill informed."

This is an unfair analogy. My views make me center (left leaning) and that is very much not a case of being ignorant and ill-informed - it is simply where my views lie and the tribal buzz word ends up landing on.

What is a centrist exactly? From what I see on here it largely involves finding balance in fascism or corruption, mixed with an attitude I can largely describe as "I would like a fairer society but not at the expense of my self-interest".

Not to mention, what the hell is a centralist position these days considering political spectrums are an ever evolving/changing scale.

Was Blair a centrist in his Labour days and is he now? Is Keir Starmer's current Labour centrist? I'd call all 3 examples central on social mobility maybe, but economically I'd have to stretch to call them anything left of central right.

Whilst here, have some of my favourite centrist memes...

















There is no centre when authoritarianism and fascism are on the cusp, just those against it, those for it and enablers.

Quite a few on here in the 'I don't have an opinion on anything which is really cool, and if you have an opinion on anything that's well sad, innit' group.

Then when anything's going off they tend to side with the posters making the racist, homophobic or otherwise bigoted comments rather than those pulling them up for it.

Makes ya wonder.

See also; the “left” posters who only seem to post in defence of fascism/corruption with whatteraboutery and/or “but the other side” takes.

For all the sh1t I’ve had on here over the years, my posts didn’t age like milk. I actually live by the words out of my mouth.

Dunno, GTSB and I had many ding dongs on here in the past but I’ve seen enough willingness to evolve views and change to lump him in with some other posters he may/may not know from past eras.

I just find centrist means nothing to anyone with some political/environmental/economical knowledge to weigh.

What is “moderate” these days? We burn the planet to death at a slower pace doing a “fairer” version of the disaster capitalist model? Do we tolerate lies and disinformation in the name of balance? And if one was to change to a centrist system nationally/globally what does one change? Who do they hold to account for how we got here and how? And what is “freedom” in that world?

In my view centrist views seem to largely be apathetic until any issue directly affects them.

Not to mention, the BBC has failed miserably in the last decade in the name of balance.

to point out the failings of an incompetent PM is extremist I suppose

whereas not to grasp that a growing economy will need extra labour (immigration) is moderate - as is being in support of Farage's style views

utter nonsense !

Your domestic arrangements don't remove your extreme views on immigration

and of having discussion on here is hardly 'a fight', if having that extremism pointed out is unconformable, then there is an easy answer
