Coincidence?

Fromage launches his campaign for South Thanet on the day Rozanne Duncan's deadline for appeal expires.

She's only voicing what a proportion of the population actually think. Her mistake was to allow the leftie BBC film her for later use in their Labour mouthpiece supporting role in the coming election.

No mistake - she is pathetic

I think her mistake is to voice that publicly at all. I doubt there is a mainstream news company that wouldn't have found those comments newsworthy irrespective of how 'leftie' they are. Maybe a proportion of people do 'actually think' that but thankfully they're outnumbered by a vastly bigger number of people who don't. She is unelectable.

She's giving her opinion and she's allowed to have it, nobody should deny her that. However when someone is in a job that can influence laws, communities, policies etc giving such views in public dangerous and a big mistake. Especially when her leader is falling over himself to distance the party from having a racist reputation.

I agree with you that she shouldn't have voiced her opinion on this sensitive issue given her political position, I also do not believe that racism is acceptable. However I think it would surprise you the number of "grass roots" Tories who also think that way, living in Tory heartland I've heard similar thoughts expressed many times from some surprising sources!

A proportion of the population think it's OK to drink and drive - doesn't make it right.....

I think if the recording had been covert/secret then her been kicked out of the party would have been more unfair, her private views are just that.

But she knew that camera was there, she knew the clip would not stay in that room.

Wait .. so her "vile racist remarks" were to say she doesnt like Negroes ?

Is that not the very definition of Racism? To discriminate against someone because of their race?
