“Piers equates the criticising of Islam with the racism towards Indian people, as do numerous Muslims whenever Indian people talk about their experiences.”

I know some Indian people are Muslims also. I need to construct that sentence better. But my point is the downplaying of one issue -racism- compared to the protection of another that is those affiliated with Islam.

Yes, Indian is not a good word to use because the majority of Indians (from India)are Hindus. I was confused.

To be fair I got “Indians” from the Piers Morgan debate itself but as an Indian myself with Hindu parents, I understand the need to be clear with detail.

I agree, I have much to say on the subject of Islam and mass migration but would never denigrate anyone as 'smelly,' I always believe in attacking the ideology or the political views of the people that I'm up against, but never their character. This has been especially difficult when it comes to Keir Starmer mind you, but I always try to be fair minded, it's one of my greatest strengths I think, without which I would just be another racist writer, and that's the last thing that I would ever want to be.

We're all human when it's said and done, there's no bad people but there are bad ideologies that cause much suffering, that's the battlefront, that's life in the trenches of the culture wars.

I agree. When discourse becomes vicious it is really off putting.

Candace is a shock jock, which is a rare thing for a woman to be.

She spoke out against BLM was no one else was willing to. Everything she says is worded in a provocative way.

Her antisemitism is appalling.

Really really evil.

I used to like her.

What she said was never precisely true but she questioned orthodoxies when no one else would.

Her antisemitism is hateful, based on falsehoods, and totally inexcusable on any level.

Yes I agree. That’s a fair assessment. She’s also a hypocrite to level accusations at others without seeing that her own numerous flaws are picked up on by the audience.

Comments supporting Candace shows just how awful many people are. On the other hand, Piers doesn’t have to give her a platform. He’s just as awful.

Interesting how he does and to some rabid anti semites. Yet he won’t platform or talk to Tommy Robinson (pre prison sentence) because “Islamophobia.”
