To be fair she's right and only said what everyone else thinks already. Guy is a coconut. Black on outside but white on inside. But off course in her position, can't be saying it out loud.

Boggles my mind how an mp can make a blunder like that.

But then.. This is Britain. Where incompetence and politics go together like bread and butter

Very true, it is bizarre how in this day and age someone could say something so stupid.

But then again, we have a sitting Chancellor who openly admitted that he "does not watch the markets".

Now, while neither is a particularly clever or confidence inspiring thing to say, I know which one concerns me more...

Idiot thing to say but will be used as a distraction from the issue at hand and coupled with divide and rule, the usual modus operandi in this type of situation from the right leaning press.

For further reference see - bacon sandwich "gate"

£500 billion wiped off the market and our kids futures being downgraded should be the headline not this nonsense.

What does 'white on inside' even mean?

The term coconut when addressed by a black to another black means they have shunned their black heritage and integrated into the white man's culture. This is perceived as a negative slur and confirms exactly what someone in this thread was saying earlier about the lack of integration. The Labour MP was insulting the Chancellor for having integrated into our white culture, into a perceived privileged educational establishment and into a white country. Which speaks volumes about how some blacks see integration as demeaning to their culture, and suggests this Labour MP carries a nasty chip on her shoulder and has decided to make it public. It has close similarities to the phrase "An Uncle Tom".

Uncle Tom
/ʌŋkl ˈtɒm/

noun
offensive•North American
noun: Uncle Tom; plural noun: Uncle Toms
  1. a black man considered to be excessively obedient or servile to white people.
    • a person regarded as betraying their cultural or social allegiance.
      "he called moderates Uncle Toms"

It's a view she is of course perfectly entitled to have, but one might say that publicly stating it as a black Labour MP at a Labour conference could be considered a somewhat suicidal career move.

A black? Do you think black people are human?

Why are you fishing for offence?

Chris Wilson has often intimated that he sees non-white people as inferior. It's not a huge step to think he sees some as sub-human. Especially when he refers to someone as 'a black'. How am I fishing? And what am I supposed to be offended by?

We're also talking about someone complaining about others talking about culture when he himself wants to 'preserve' 'his' culture. Somewhat ironic, don't you think?

But, but, but somebody nobody apart their constituents has ever heard of said something idiotic/ill-advised whilst at a conference (not speaking on a platform at the conference), that is far more important, whilst people wonder if they are going to afford their mortgages.

All the while the protoganists have gone AWOL (Truss and Kwarteng).

JFC.

Clearly loads of melts in here though TBF. My first mortgage was fixed at 6.75%. There seems to be a sense of "we shouldn't have to live like this" self entitlement nonsense, as if everything should be rosey, all of the time. Man the **** up.
