"microaggressions" FFS. These people.

What has yanked your chain now?

It would seem to me that the point is that mentioning “micro aggressions” in the context of an acid attack is deeply stupid

Yep. And with the image of the cyclops as backdrop to the discussion too.

If there’s an image that represented why the concept of “wokeness” is not simply about “wanting to make society better” but is instead about performative adherence to ostensibly progressive beliefs that demand nothing of the people discussing it, it’s talking about micro aggressions on newsnight against a background of a monstrous, acid burned violent mad man who committed an evil, violent crime after every safeguard we have failed utterly

If only someone had reminded him to hold the door open for the lady coming into the Halal butcher's after him, this would never have happened.

You should all jump into the comments section of that tweet and give the Freds and others your support.

How do you know we haven't?

Anyway, it's not just the Freds. It's even your Novara luvvies that agree.

(surely you didn't think I'd have not prepared my defence)

Do you think micro aggressions are a useful prism through which to view this unfolding situation?

Ah, you should have said earlier. In which case, THIS IS A DISCRACE, DEFUND THE BEEB!

That was just a ruse to get asylum. Throwing acid around at a woman and children , I’d deport him back to Afghanistan.

It’s a good point, we can’t have people throwing acid around

Friend or faux:- I see that you prefer to express your beliefs in good, plain simple English; so that everybody gets a grasp of your meaning.

Let me know how many syllables you can handle and I’ll try to pitch my posts to your reading age x

CEB :- I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I am 76 so pitch your comments at that age group. You don't happen to live in Paris do you ? Your ostentatious writing style reminds me of my ex-wife's brother. He went to Westminster, do you have a privileged background?

I have all the privileges one would expect of someone whose dad was a van driver and whose mum was a dinner lady x

Not sure what your age has to do with it.

Preposterous Joe:- I am ignoring all your comments as you are a person who doesn't seem to believe that a person carrying out an act of aggression could also be carrying a weapon. At best you are naïve. Also by the way you are so "up" CEB, you are also probably CEB.

I'm surprised at this response because I never said any such thing and you wet your pants last week about people "rewriting the written record" or some such rubbish.

So which is it, are you in favour of misrepresenting what people say or not?

This sounds a bit Starmery to me…

What sort of van are we talking?

Strange that as Europeans we are prevented from spending more than 90 days in Europe and yet this sex offending piece of s—t can stay in Europe as long as he likes.

No, no, he was a van Driver, of the Texas van Drivers, who made their money in oil

In an early run for pedant of the year the article says it was an alkali attack, the base opposite of an acid.

Strange indeed. I wonder how that came about.
