If I said I went round London today and saw lots of young black teenagers that were the knife carrying type you would call me a racist and rightly so, you seem ok with stereotyping people thou

What does it matter if he is white or not?

It would matter not a jot if he were not a racist himself, but there you are he is.

You reckon he'd be PM if he had exactly the same personality and history but was black?

It's difficult to argue that he's not!

Also the people who elected him were predominantly aged white males so he must fit the characteristic of what they want in a leader. There's no point pretending otherwise. You bought it - you own it.

I wondered how long it would be before one of the usual culprits introduced the inevitable race card.

Would Diane Abbott be shadow home secretary if she had the same personality and history but was White?

Would Diane Abbott be deputy home secretary if she had the same personality and history but was White?

When did Boris appoint her?? 

[Bentley Bullet]

Well pointed out. Just goes to show that even I can be wr......wro........wro....... imprecise on occasions, even though it was just a one-word mistake.

Now rectified, the point I made is 100% valid, as per usual.

[Glyn_Wigley]

Good job I quoted it for all to see how important even just one word is, isn't it?

[Bentley Bullet]

Well, that's what you're good at Mr Wiggerly. Your role of proofreading other people's posts with a fine-tooth comb is as always your best form of contribution.

Thanks again for your input.

You think that's bad Sydney - wait until you read this overview of who Johnson has appointed and who they represent. A government of corporate lobbists ruling for the ultra-rich:

Thanks Wilts, same problem here of course, maybe worse as MPs flout the FOI laws

George Brandis Spent Over $168,000 Of Taxpayers' Money Trying To Keep His Diary A Secret

''To recap, in the Abbott government's first budget, there were millions of dollars cut from legal aid funding and the arts sector, both in Brandis' portfolio.

Labor's shadow attorney-general, Mark Dreyfus, filed a freedom of information request for Brandis' Outlook calendar for the period of September 2013, until May 2014 to see if Brandis had met with those two sectors prior to the cuts being announced''

The danger for Johnson is of course polls such as this;

Believe it too much and he'll make the same mistake May did (albeit he is a hugely better campaigner than her).

Everybody loves a clown, apparently.
