Safe spaces coming to the UK in schools colleges and Universities

The last few years in the USA political correctness has continued to ruin the modern world.The latest craze that the do-gooder political elite have come up with is creating 'safe spaces' for non-white people.You can guarantee if it hasn't already, it will end up here in the UK before long.Instead of all pulling together the political liberal elite are trying to divide us all.Candace Owens and the black Americans I follow on twitter are furious with this latest box ticking exercise from the political liberal left. They don't want to be treated as different.They just want to integrate all as one.They don't want society to treat them as separate from the rest of society.The divisions the political liberal left keep creating are very destructive.How will society ever come together when you keep putting non-whites in separate boxes.Who the hell do the white liberal left think they are telling non-white people they should feel oppressed.A movie has just come out in the USA about safe spaces.

That does sound a bit bonkers....

I posted you a video on the other link about Rees-Mogg sister.I have to concede you are probably correct that the fishing Industry will remain screwed.

Paul Game ● 2532d

You are right Paul, PC gone mad.It goes back to your previous point.Many liberals in politics think they are helping but they are just dividing.

Blair (a liberal) took us into an illegal war in Iraq and we are now sewing the seeds of that with the terrorist attacks.Open borders policies of the political liberal elite in the EU and we are now paying the price for that with 1000's of wannabe Jihadis getting across the borders.The liberals are killing it for our children's children's generation. World war 3 is looming in the next 100 years be of no doubt.

Must admit never come across this before. Appears it started originally as an initiative by women's and gay groups as providing protection against physical violence - which doesn't seem unreasonable -  but has been extended to other groups and to include hate speech. I see there are debates about whether the broader definition contravenes the US 1st Amendment.

"Comic Nish Kumar booed off stage at charity bash"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-50644317""It's an election season and I thought it would be interesting to spark a conversation here," explained the comedian, "but clearly the conversation I've sparked is, 'this guy is a bit of a dickhead.'"I did think it would be nice to come here and talk to some people who had a different political outlook to me, and I thought it'd be interesting for me to share my perspective - but clearly that's not been the case."He added: "What I don't want to do is to detract from any of the fantastic work done by the charity," for which he received a round of applause."Tories could not get their head around the idea of somebody doing a gig for free? And invading their safe space!

No, David, I think it was more like left wing luvvie “comedian” finds himself out of his comfort zone, when he comes face to face with Brexit supporters who don’t find his alleged comedy remotely funny.  It was a reality shock for him from what I have read.

Martine Guy ● 2532d

David, perhaps he got a bit close to the truth about the elite in the Tory party and how they'll benefit from Brexit? Yes, they're probably normally in the safwe havens of their London clubs so he was probably rather threatening. "Group think" is a wonderful comforter 😶 

Michael Ixer ● 2532d

I guess being from the hard left you are a fan of these loony safe spaces in schools, colleges and universities David?Yes I saw that clip about the comedian, I thought it was very funny.These loony left comedians think the general public will find them funny when they spout their lefty political dross but often it's just a load of claptrap and the public find it boring!

Paul Game ● 2532d

Hear hear Martine!Comedians in London are almost entirely anti brexit and skew their jokes that way.  Perhaps if they tried some balance and had some anti remain jokes as well people would view them as less biasedThey shouldn’t find it surprising - see this from 2017https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4382138/Comedians-say-audiences-walk-anti-Brexit-jokes.htmlRemember to David one sided views are perfectly acceptable if he agrees, and if not he often seems to be happy to post something disparaging (purely in my opinion and experience of course)Loved to read that someone peddling this boring anti brexit diatribe was booed in London as well as outside!

Mike Warman ● 2532d

One suspects audience and comedian were both out of their comfort zones. An example of how decisive Brexit has been with a 52/48 margunal difference 🙁

Michael Ixer ● 2532d

Don’t get why you think the audience were out of their comfort zone?  If this alleged comedian was really good, he could have got a laugh, instead someone threw a bread roll at him.  Bet if you had got Billy Connolly on stage, he would have had them crying with laughter over Brexit, with Remain and Leave gags..  As the wonderful Frank Carson used to say “it’s the way you tell ‘em”

Martine Guy ● 2532d

Good to see you back on the forum showing your wisdom with your posts.Shame there are not many more like you on here who speak so sensibly and so well.Not sure if people are aware but many Brexit supporting comedians are being blacklisted by the comedy circuit due to the PC do-gooders.Interesting interview below proves it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmRqMJBK17Y&feature=emb_title

Paul Game ● 2532d

Thanks, Paul, that is a nice thing to say.  I used to really love Alexei Sayle’s act and he is a well known left winger, but he is really funny, something today’s alleged comedians should try to remember - incorporate humour into your act!

Martine Guy ● 2532d

Perhaps, Martine, which is why I used the word "suspect" as I wasn't there. However, I think I'm right about Brexit dividing the nation? 

Michael Ixer ● 2532d

Yes we all agree Brexit is dividing the nation.But what is dividing the nation even further are the Brexit blockers who won't accept the result.

Paul Game ● 2532d

Alexei Sayle is still funny, leftwing, pro-Corbyn, and anti-Brexit.

David Ainsworth ● 2532d

Yes Brexit has divided the nation, but a great comedian would have managed to get laughs out of the situation.  I haven’t seen a clip of Nish Kumar’s act that night, but I guess he lectured the audience with his Metropolitan cleverness. I think it’s you, Michael, that likes PetSounds.  Take a look on YouTube at the Beach Boys on the Jack Benny Show, with Bob Hope too.  2 of the greatest comedians ever, althoughI would admit it’s not their funniest ever moment, but still makes me smile.  Sorry slightly off piste, but worth rembering comedy greats.

Martine Guy ● 2532d

Well he had to have some faults but I still like him.

Martine Guy ● 2532d

I blame Nish Kumar. He should never have taken that gig to help them out when Jim Davidson dropped out.Still, it is a learning experience.

David Ainsworth ● 2532d

I doubt a Metropolitan leftie smart a*** comedian would find it a learning experience, as they know it all already.I don’t find Jim Davidson funny either.

John Hawkes ● 2531d

Very good John😂Just wondering - will you be sitting in the neutral section tomorrow or will you require a 'safe space' amongst your own fans?
