Old Rusty screaming 'this is our recipe by our people and no one else should be allowed to interpret it' was particularly disturbing. Bizzare Fact of the Day: Rustie Lee is a stood as the UKIP candidate for the Wyre Forest in the 2005 Election Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I've been explaining and warning about the rapid growth of this in my P&B Newsletter for the past five years. It's the group identity-based victimhood industry, with political correctness as the silencing weapon. This Jamie Oliver thing is racism which needs tackled. Dissent and you're a racist. See also Feminism - everything is now sexism, and you're a sexist if you dissent. Redefining words and their scope, and railing on anyone who dissents is classic totalitarian ideological activism. It's very effective, against those without a pair of eyes and a spine at least.I’m certainly not as extreme as you in your views but I do agree with this to a degree. Diversity and equality ARE good things but not at the abandonment of sense and logic. The social media age we live in has allowed this narrative to spiral out of control at times IMO. Everyone has a right to express what they feel but equally everyone has a right to tell them they need to calm down. An extended debate over microwaveable rice is a stupendous waste of everyone’s energy and time. Clearly there’s a balance as you don’t want to silence genuine complaints but honestly stuff like this will just put more people off than it will gain support.

welshbairn Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I'm outraged, where do I get my compensation?A better comparison would be Yanks selling tinned haggis made entirely out of baloney sausage meat. Jamie's version of Jamaica's national dish doesn't contain a single authentic ingredient. Can't abide the cultural appropriation term but he's definitely taking the pish.

This is part of what I'm talking about regarding language. What do you mean by extreme, diversity and equality? Why are my views extreme, why are yours not? Why are diversity and equality, however you define them, a good thing? As far as I can tell, diversity, equality, tolerance, inclusive, etc. are all intentionally vague and face-value harmless propaganda terms that allow battering through of ideological activism, which only racists/sexists/transphobes/etc. could possibly object to.
