Clergyman faces inquiry for ‘Sir Tom cult’ remarks

[Len Rum]

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.

You were obviously looking for a fight last night mate.
Have you calmed down now?

I was perfectly calm, is this topic taboo for you?

 

[Ban-jani]

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.

The only chance of that is if he leaves his post I think and gets an interview.

I envisage him on Piers Morgan though, which will mean we will still not hear why because he’ll be shouted over.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

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.

You are getting all a bit PC and snowflakeish about this issue. Not the first time either.

Cancel culture in action. You really are a full house.

He fought in Burma, not in Europe.

The 'Forgotten Army' slips from memory again.

I know exactly where he fought as I heard it on the radio this week, I was making a general point about racism and the fact he fought the axis powers, which were the most racist country in Europe.

OK, cool logic.

Not really sure what to respond with but good luck.
