Dodgy stuff and instantly makes me think of a racist slur she basically has got said about the Chancellor. Edited September 27, 2022 by KiwiScot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, she's backtracking on words that have betrayed an underlying, and indefensible, attitude though. I'm not sure that's really worth anything.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted September 27, 2022 Although she meant it totally differently and needs a good kick up the Aristotle, Kwasi certainly fits superficial. He does have a lack of understanding and compassion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure that's really worth anything. I tend to agree, though I'd rather people recognise their attitude as indefensible and apologise for it. Far too many politicians double down. She was my local MP for a while, and was excellent in the role, so perhaps I'm more sympathetic to her than I would otherwise be.
