I have to admit I was stunned today to learn of his anti-Semitic comments.

I was actually taken aback by his revelations about life at Yorkshire Cricket Club, appalling behavior.

However he has now really thrown shade on himself with his behavior, and while his apology was in my mind sincere, the “I was 19.." doesn’t wash.

I fear any genuine reform will be sidelined now as the folks he pointed out will cry double standards at him

Thoughts?

Who let them have this term for when their stupidity is being shown up? Was it Piers Morgan?

‘Keep peddling’ the GB News garbage as I’ve never watched it before, it’s not even broadcasted where I live.

And if I had far right views I wouldn’t be calling out the hypocrites for defending a blatant anti-Semite 🤷‍♂️

You would if it detracts from institutionalised racism.

There is no use explaining things that they are incapable of understanding. I think the way forward now is just patronising them.

You've been well and truly rattled, haven't you.

I just find it unfair that God or Buddha or whoever created stupid people, not only made them stupid, but also made them unaware that they are stupid. How is this fair on anyone? If he had just made them have the ability to be aware of their stupidity, we wouldn't be in such a mess.

Yin/yan Stephen. They are created for balance, the clever can laugh at the cabbage fackers, but the cabbage fackers outnumber the clever, so take their revenge by being really stupid.

It’s explained in this documentary https://youtu.be/sP2tUW0HDHA

I am going to make a version of this film relevant to today's society. Things have really progressed exponentially since that was made.

I also think that anyone who claims that they never made comments or jokes at the age of 19 that wouldn't be OK by today's standards, are most likely being disingenuous.

Correct...I was in the forces then...it was almost expected
