I saw a video clip of Ben Shapiro accusing Andrew Neil of being a leftist. That's the world some people live in now. |  | | |

You can't get much more left wing than the BBC. To accuse them of any right wing bias is laughable. |
It's a bit more nuanced than that. Certainly historically it has been left-wing but in recent times there have been more right-leaning management installed to try to show they are unbiased in the face of potentially losing the licence fee. So you've ended up with this kind of hybrid organisation that doesn't really know where its place is anymore. |  |

"Having a negative opinion of some people who were born in a different country does not make you xenophobic"
So, er, yes it does |
You are deluded if you actually believe what you posted.
For example
I have a negative opinion of the Taliban - does that make me xenophobic
Most people had a negative opinion of the Nazi's (the real ones) - were they all xenophobic?
Your argument is facile
Your point is totally incorrect |  | | |

Afternoon Hamish, hope all good?
I'm guessing your hatred of the Taliban or the nazis isn't purely down to the country they were born in but more down to their actions?
Hating people purely due to them being from a different country from you, that would be a tad stranger surely? |  | | |

Which dictionary definition of xenophobia mentions fear of terrorist groups or brutal dictatorships that kill people? |  | | |

I don't know anything about these people, but I know their views are backwards because of where they come from. They must therefore be a threat to my family. That is a xenophobic and ignorant stance to take, it's nothing like not liking the Taliban or the Nazi's. | | | |

What is the point in debating with somebody who claims that the near on dictionary definition of xenophobia is not xenophobic? Should people afford the same respect to flat earthers or supporters of David Icke? |
what if he was objecting to the group based on some other characteristic than their nationality? what if it's having a large number of young men with no connection to the area and no cultural affiliation housed together with nothing to do and without the consent of the local community? is it possible that you are assuming a meaning which is different from the one he intended? or does the meaning you attach automatically trump everyone else's including his? |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

so are those spanish people who are campaigning against tourists because they get drunk, act anti-socially, and monopolise public areas xenophobic? or are they objecting to tourists for reasons other than their different nationality? | |

It sounds to me like you are part of the problem.
You should be allowed to talk about an issue without being labelled as racist or xenophobic by those who disagree with you. The words used by Jenrick in no way paint him as xenophobic and it is totally correct that there was an apology.
Having a negative opinion of some people who were born in a different country does not make you xenophobic, not racist.
Maybe, just maybe, you are the bigot? It does seem like you are happy to label others who do not share your views and bigotry can work more than one way. |
I don't know if I should laugh or cry at this response.
What a time to be alive. |  | | |
