How To Do Racism Properly

Labour MP Clive Lewis, recently 'congratulated' the newly appointed chairman of the Conservative party, James Cleverly with the following tweet:

"Genuine congratulations James. I mean it. I'm just sorry you and the other black members of that cabinet had to sell your souls and self-respect to get there. You serve under a racist PM and sit next to a minister for equalities previously fired for the Windrush scandal."

This is an example of the kind of condescending cheap shots that are now normal politics for the people we are meant to address as 'Right Honourable'.

Criticising the choices of people because of the colour of their skin is racist. Shaming them because of it is racist. It makes you a racist and a bigot, Clive. You've just trod over a good man's life's hard work with your holier-than-thou sewage.

You are neither right, nor honourable; despicable is what you are. You and your ilk disgust me.

This explains your leader's obsession with manhole covers. His legionnaires live under them.
