But.... she is a bigot....

Everyone's going mad about Gordon's mess up yesterday when he was caught saying a women he spoke to was a bigot.  She was, is, always will be I expect.  What annoys me is that he went mental apologising for it when it was the perfect opportunity to explain why he said what he said.  Attitudes like hers are unhelpful at best, hate-crime inciting at worst - all very Daily Mail, why didn't he say he was sorry for what he said, but...

Some people won't even know what a bigot is - so instead of making it sound as bad as if he'd called her a Nazi, he could have gone into the meaning and the relation of the meaning to modern society.  Wasted opportunity.

James Delingpole - Arabian Bites

This is what set me off: HERE

James Delingpole, Royal wannabe, brown-nosing tosspot. Isn't it weird when people are impressed by wealth that's shrouding poverty, misogyny: politically supported degradation of human rights under the Emperor's New Veil?


The UAE is the most hideous place on earth, yet droogs like Delingpole marvel at the wonderments of wealth and celebrity with a yearning sense of belonging and self-righteousness - at last, authors (you're stretching it there, James) are treated with the respect they deserve - not their wives though, Economy Class for you, My Dear - but never fear, if you get raped while you're here - we'll lock you up before you can shout 'but I'm a middle class English Lady who LOVES ethnic people' and maybe, just maybe, sentence you to death for adultery.
