Laurence Fox launches political party

What's his issue with the Rainbow flag? I've not been following it too closely but after reading snippets it seems that he's trying to curry favour with the gay and lesbian community by saying his issue is only with transgender people who, as he puts it, are "mutilating their bodies".

Now I know that there has been some conflict between lesbian and transgender people at Pride gatherings but I don't believe for one minute that that despicable twat Fox is in any way truly invested in that. He's just a bigoted **** full stop IMO.

There is a small fringe of gender critical bigots and grifters who also happen to be gay or lesbian. That's all.

I’m not so sure about that. These sorts of things are always just a big-mouthed noisy minority and are rarely a large proportion. And that sort of attitude does the older generation a disservice as it paints them in a false light.

Where people grew up in areas like inner-city Manchester where a lot of Jamaican and Asian immigrants moved to, most people weren’t bothered by different races. Many white people here were from Irish and Polish descent and were from immigrant families themselves.

Thank you @Psychedelic Casual for your defence of the older generation.
I have a cross section of age groups when it comes to friends and I can honestly say that my older friends are not racist. Neither are my younger ones I hasten to add.
It could just be the circles I move in I don’t know. Or as you say in your second paragraph that my extended family were a diverse group, English, Irish, Scottish and from the Isle of Man(!). No Welsh have been discovered as yet but I’m working on the family tree so who knows?
I find there’s good and not so good in all ages and areas of society. That’s life as they say. :-)
However, thank you once again @Psychedelic Casual for defending us. :-)

The suggestion wasn't that old people are racist just that a substantial minority are. About a third would be a realistic estimate.

As a white person you are less likely to witness racism.

I agree with you that is probably a reflection of the sort of people you associate with, as you always strike me as fair, open minded of a generally liberal mindset and someone who would also tell their friends when they were spewing out hate. The antithesis to the sort of person racist bigots would look for in a friend.
 
Received a temporary Twitter ban after suggesting that - as committed Christians - ‘Lozza’ and GB News’s deacon Calvin Robinson should get themselves castrated, given that Jesus held up as ideal disciples those ‘who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven’ (Matthew 19v11-12).

He’d been going on ad nauseam about how MP’s who voted against Bridgen’s bill were potentially supporting ‘child mutilation’ so thought I should point out that Jesus was in favour of an adult version.

The way some 60s mods changed when they merged with Jamaican rude boys and became the original skinheads was a racial coming together, soul boys adopting underground black American soul music and drive the Northern Soul scene (and in London the same thing happened but with funk and disco rather than soul)… up to the Two-tone movement of the 70s… the racially diverse support of the likes of City, Villa and Brum back in the day…

Very much agree but this Viz Comic letter still makes me laugh:

I've got no idea who this guy is but I just Googled him and according to Wikipedia, he's 41 years-old. Let's face it, no-one who's 41 years-old has been anything for over 20 years. With the exception of that ancient Japanese footballer.
