It's pretty sad that these days your job is untenable for suggesting that people who don't like living here should leave. I thought the one good thing about Boris was that he might get rid of this OTT PC nonsense introduced by Labour/Red Ken, sadly not it seems

But surely they should go home if they don't like it here...

Indeed. No one forces people to immigrate to Britain.

It doesn't really sound that racist at all.

As a political advisor, he of all people should have known the furore his comments would be likely to cause.

I do think he is correct in what he says though.

iraiguana · 23 Jun 2008 at 10:07

He was quoted as saying people may not like boris and so leave the country. If he was being a bit more PC he could simply have told the reporter that would have been an over reaction, not that they should just go.

I agree with him, but he is in a politically sensitive role and knew it.

Berserker · 23 Jun 2008 at 10:08

I also agree with what he said - if he said what they're reporting - seems to me that it is just common sense.

But, he should have known better - political aides don't say things that are likely to rebound on the politician, so the problem here is incompetence, not PC gone mad.

To much apathy.
We shouldn't be saying he should have known better. He should have been supported and thus putting an end to this pc pile of horse muck.

KNiVES · 23 Jun 2008 at 10:15

What's so racist about that ?! He was perfectly right. If you don't like it, leave, what is wrong with that? It's just common sense and logic. Apparently because it's aimed at foreigners it's now racist. Utterly ridiculous. We need more people saying that rather than foreigners coming in by the thousands and clogging the country up.

He is a foreigner himself, FWIW

But surly thats a good thing about out country is we allow people to leave if they dont like it.

Amnesia · 23 Jun 2008 at 10:34

Agree with that completely.

Steve2000 · 23 Jun 2008 at 11:02

We need more of him. We simply cannot carry on with this PC garbage forever. We need people like him to actually do things, regardless of the consequences. This country needs something like this on a large scale.

But the question and reply had nothing to do with Race.

Typical PC bull.

I'd be kicking out all the 'There', 'They're' and 'Their' 'tards.
