Clergyman faces inquiry for ‘Sir Tom cult’ remarks

Have we reached a point in society where we see racism when it isn’t there?

I think over the summer last year, it got to a point where people were accused of being racists, not for saying or doing something actually racist, but for saying they didn’t think something was racist.

Now we have this, this week, a national hero, the most humble and unassuming guy possible, a guy who fought against the most racist state in living memory in Europe, a guy who wanted to do a fundraiser, without expecting it to be £1000, never mind what it did, a man that has the support of everyone in Britain, save a few trolls, a man that received donations from 160+ countries, his support being labelled as not only a cult but a “white nationalist cult”.

We have seen it on this forum somewhat, within minutes of the laughable
Handforth Council video going up, someone was moaning about how white everyone is in the video.

Is this the new issue? Will the so-called “anti racists” make sure we will never let go of racism, as they’ll find it everywhere and make a point of it?

Is the national response to Captain Tom “white nationalist”?

Personally, as someone who is Church of England, I do not want this clergyman representing my church.

On that particular person, probably yes. Hard to say for sure though as ultimately all that Twitter post is is a statement, I’d be interested to know his reasoning for thinking it.

I do believe there’s an apology but it just says it was ill-timed, so he obviously still thinks it.

I personally think he’s one of those members of the church that’s ended up getting lost in the social justice movement, it’s a problem at the moment.

Laughable.

I was called a racist several times last year for suggesting we shouldn’t import an American problem into Britain in the middle of a pandemic.

you are exactly the kind of person I am talking about, there must always be a cause.

What 'cause' ?
It is you looking to explode one stupid person into a wider issue. You are cut from the same cloth as this guy. You just refuse to see it. Shouting at clouds mate. Not a good look.

It’s as if 2020 never happened.

If I am shouting at clouds you’ve got your head buried in the sand.

If you think I am cut from the same cloth as this racist idiot, it says more about your bias than anything else.

Yep and him thinking it is the key issue rather than what he said as such. I’d want to know why he thinks it.
