Laurence Fox launches political party

'Forced integration', 'authoritarian'...

An opposition to single race spaces is one of the foundations of every liberal society in the world.

It's not about me being personally at a loss - I don't work at Sainsbury's as it happens, it's about what's right and wrong, and this idea is just plainly wrong as is the widely debunked idea that people are safer (emotionally, physically, whatever) by being exclusively with people of the same race.

It's inexcusable.

I have not seen any evidence that people being exclusively with their own race is wrong. Its anti racist racism because you are misunderstanding the reasons behind it and using it to push the culture war agenda promulgated by Fox.

There are reasons why people want and need to be with people of like mind, you appear to want to force people away from exclusivity. I visited a Muslim woman's support group in Oldham and the very reason it has to be exclusive is because they have particular issues around faith and cultural background. If that was an open group which invited everyone then the raison d'etre for the group would disappear. You can be as liberal as you want but if it serves no purpose what is the point in the first place. You risk further alienation. These ladies feel safe from both physical and mental harm in there safe space, they can discuss issues that affect them directly with like minded people.

That says it all really.

They are anti safe space because they lose the opportunity to spread their drivel if a safe space is created without them. Its the radical free speech mob who are pushing these culture wars, what they really want is the right to propagandise without recourse under the label of freedom of speech. Ironically they are one of the reasons why safe spaces have become necessary. Its nothing to do with valid exchange of ideas and theorising its about propagandising. I am all for the valid exchange of ideas, political theory and expression, what I am against though is the propagandising that clowns like Farage, Fox and Young use under the guise of free exchange.

Going back to my previous point about visiting a Muslim Women's group in Oldham, what could any of those clowns add to the ladies conversation. I was highly priviliged to be allowed into there safe space although it was only to learn about the reasons why they met, once the conversations started around there issues I left the room as it was not my place to be there.

I don't know who is embarrassing themselves more, you or Fox.

You're the embarrassment if you think single race safe spaces is a good idea. But like some of the others, I'm guessing you can't bring yourself to actually own it and say you agree with it and instead hide behind the usual cryptic nonsense that we've already seen.

Always been a Tesco man myself, but seriously thinking of switching my custom to Sainsbury’s as I suspect it will be free of some absolute bellends in the light of all this.

Your man of the people post doesn't fool me:-)

Tesco Finest, obviously. Although not for much longer if my economic situation doesn’t improve rapidly.
