Part of the story appears to be around her doing accents too?

 

Eilish said footage of her imitating accents was her speaking in a “silly gibberish made up voice”, something she has done since she was a child.

She added: “It is absolute gibberish and just me goofing around, and is in NO way an imitation of anyone or any language, accent, or culture in the SLIGHTEST.”

 

I guess Darren Farley is fucked too then if accents are off-limits too.

Are all these videos private or what? She is supposed to be 14 or 15 in them.

A few regulars on the breakfast thread will have a copy then

Never challenge the fucking coward or else...

I guess it's payback for ducking the leadership debate on Channel Four before the last election and then the Gary Gibbons interview the other week being the final nail

He's long since been appropriated by the hard-right under the guise of Paul 'Piss' Staines.

 

It's a triumph of the right-wing punditry class that, despite being the vehicle of the wealthy, the privileged, the elite, the powerful and the establishment, with a well-chosen moniker and a 'voice of the common people' type slogan bandied about here and there, they've managed to convince millions of common people that they're anything but.

 

Cf: Nigel Farage

'Appropriated'? He was a fucking Catholic bigot - who wasn't interested in the people, nor was he against the elite ruling - just Protestants ruling. He fought with the Spanish FFS. 

 

This isn't a hero, nor a working class saint. He was a religious bigot, who was prepared to kill for it. If you want a hero use Wat Tyler, a genuine working class hero.

Fuck me! I do know who Guy Fawkes was, thanks, and you'll have to show me where I said he was a hero* or working class saint. I was speaking in the sense that he's seen as a figure of rebellion and famous for trying to end the existing order - and now he's been appropriated by the establishment in the form of the Guido Fawkes site who pretend to be rebellious and of the people against the established order. 

 

He was a hero, of course, to many Catholics of the time and since. Although that's irrelevant to the point I was making.

Remember when there was a quote by someone like Peterson that being called racist meant fuck all anymore, that if you were called racist by a certain type of person it wasn’t what ‘normal’ people meant so don’t listen? It was pulled apart on here and people went fucking mental. Well, this is what was meant.  

How about, when you're called racist instead of lashing out and dismissing the person saying it, you actually look at what they're saying about your own actions; y'know, just like a decent human might do.

Ah my bad! I just read the headlines. Sorry. 

 

Although I think he has his natural home now?

Curious that they don't give any specific examples of racism, unless simply being dominated by the dominant local ethnic group is racist now.

Or maybe that report isn't the full story and the people who chose to disband know more about their group than we do?

And she's had to come out with a grovelling apology to pre-empt the torches and pitchforks. Fucking nonsense.

Maybe she's just chosen to apologise, sincerely and not under duress.

 

God knows, if I was famous enough for pictures to surface of me as a golliwog in a 1977 school Christmas play, I'd want to make it clear that I don't stand by that shit.

You're probably right there. 

 

I should've been more clearer that I was referring to his popular image nowadays father than the historical figure. It's not just the Guido Fawkes site trying to trade on that image, it's the Anonymous movement, it's even Alan Moore with V For Vendetta.

Who’s lashing out? This woman has no history of racism, is blatantly not racist and is being called a racist.  I wish she’d have told the mob to fuck the fuck off. But she chose not to and I can’t blame her.

Well I was in a nativity play at OLA Hartsbourne Avenue Circa 1972

when I was about 7. I’m truly sorry if I have offended anybody, I don’t even know what my part was but I’m sure it was horribly offensive so for that I am truly sorry

Hearing Joseph , Mary and the wee baby Jesus are racists now.

You of course held the exact same viewpoint when Luis Suarez was accused of racism by Patrice Evra?...........just like a decent human might do

Sounds like you were culturally appropriating, pretending to be a member of the Hebrew race, or "Yidface" as we call it.

Maybe, to be honest I think I might have only been in the choir I only have  a very vague memory of it but in any event I’m sure I’ve offended somebody so I’m deeply sorry. I mean you can’t take my job cos I’m semi - retired but maybe in the next life.

I was talking about Peterson's dead good advice about declaring that people who call you racist should be ignored.  

 

Fuck that shit. Nobody ever grew up without taking the time to listen when they get criticised. Maybe, in some cases, you can consider the criticism unfounded; the important point is that you actually consider it. Dismissing criticism on the basis of who says it is just a way of cementing yourself in your own stupidity.
