Noting about Kevin McNamara? Hahahahahahahahaha 

 

What do you want me to say? Assuming the tweets are genuine (and at least one seems not to be), and not justified by context, then it stands to reason he shouldn't stand under our banner.

Angela Smith has been retweeting (and then deleting) lovely, charming Kev. 

 

Under Corbyn/Labour antisemitism rules, doesn't a retweet mean that Smith shares every opinion on everything with Kev, thus making her a racist homophobe too? 

 

That's how it works, isn't it? 

Is she not Marvel's worst ever super-hero ' Tinge-woman '

Genuinely Orwellian.

Cult indeed. 


Genuinely interested, are you all not uncomfortable that there seem to be people of organization which systematically sift through old social media posts of everyone in the public eye, from teenage footballers to parliamentary candidates? I get that in politics, people would stop at nothing to eliminate an opponent but isn't it actually Orwellian when you think about it - as a rule, there are verbal transgressions of various "isms" mostly taken out of context and nobody actually "isist" is caught, mostly people who breached this or that etiquette, from all sides.

Is it worth it?

I'd rather know that my local MP was a massive racist dickhead before I voted for him to be fair. 

 

Interesting to see that post repped by SD who has spent years on here bringing up stuff but all of a sudden isn't that arsed (and even questions if its genuine) when its one of his own. 

 

The hypocrisy is a big issue.

But do you think such discoveries normally reveal massive racist dickheads, or just manage to find that a political opponent has put a foot wrong on social media 5 or 10 years ago?

Don’t be an apologist for racism. It’s not a good look
