I used to like him and thought he was a really good pundit but I do think he is past his sell by date now. All he ever does is trot out the same clichés regarding defence week in, week out and has ended up pretty much a caricature of himself.
^^^ I agree
and can't help falling about every time I see this:-

As has been said, not everyone sees it that way:

well dug out.
I agree good debating point but wrong continent
this is the UK not america where they called disabled people 'differently abled' despite disabled people themselves not wanting to use that term so its not really as inclusive or empowering as it first sounds The USA have a habit of wanting to soften terms about race because of the history i.e the equal but separate education acts the slavery the fact legitimated apartheid existed in criminal justice transport jobs education in many states until quite recently
I recall an film from the 2nd world war in which a posh man thanked the yanks for coming over to save our butts from the Nazis and goes on to explain to white american soldiers that when their black comrades got on trains and buses or were in a cafe in the UK they could sit down and not have to offer the seat to a white person
echoes here of the Suarez affair about what's acceptable in the prevailing culture and coloured at the worst is border line racist /offensive even the most generous interpretation in my view its ignorant & clumsy I think that latter description fits Hanson well
