well it's labour provided isnt it? She'll probably give it to some anti-racism education charity. No fan of digging up ten year old internet messages but this is more than just careless language like "spaz", it's quite blatant racism. No fan by any means but all the anti-black stuff is pretty shocking really

Would've hoped that the SG's legal people would have made sure the contract allowed them to claw back the money if they were unable to use the promotional material because of risk of damage to reputation or the like. Who knows, though - wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.

Sturgeon loves 'the patter' and she's so gallus.

Limmy's probably a bit "blue" for the auld grannies and that. Although I'm sure a campaign with him in it would be better.

Never heard of her but I do love a good old public shaming.

Fucking hell the replies to her 'apology' on Twitter are mostly white people saying "good on you for apologising now let's move on", ignoring the dozens of actually properly racist tweets.

Shappi Khorsandi there assuring her that she has "the moral high ground"

Talking about black people as a "them" who speak about their "big nigga cock".

Oh but she called Trump a cunt and has been on the same panel shows as you. Fucking hell

A better reply from author Shahnaz Ahsan:

"You'd be forgiven for thinking @JaneyGodley had tweeted a single "accidentally racist" remark from the state of this 'apology'. It was actually a repeated appalling tirade against black people. The number of white people replying here excusing that behaviour says everything."

I would rather people who hold transphobic views stay out of politics.
Likewise.  I've heard this accusation levelled at BPB before, but yet to see any evidence.

A joke, surely?
I thought jokes were supposed to be funny.

Also check out the video where, although he calls Stuart Campbell a bigot, he says something about the "trans lobby" forcing medication on children or something. I'll find the link in a sec.

EDIT: here you go: right after this. https://youtu.be/NoXVVA1Drwk?t=4306 That sounds awfully like something someone who's a bit deep in Glinnerism would say, in spite of his protestations.

Godley is a concept by which we measure our pain.

Well I think humour is subjective, and that tweet seemed to me a shotgun response to some hair-raisingly offensive attention-seeking on the part of Aidan. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know who they are or what they're about.

"Nefarious autogynephile billionaires profiting from hormonal pharmacology". No idea who or what he's referring to there, any idea?

Cold Meat Platter

His tweet trivialises the murder of Stephen Lawrence to imply that trans people are manufacturing their own oppression.

There's a conspiracy theory going around "gender critical" (transphobic) circles that "Big Pharma" (and, antisemitically, three rich Jewish people in particular, one of whom is trans) is promoting transgenderism for their own profit. "Autogynephile" is a Ray Blanchard thing; it's hard to explain but it's basically implying that gay and bisexual trans women are perverts.

Gurke and Hare

That tweet is exactly the same as all the ironically racist shit Alistair Campbell deleted yesterday and was rightly condemned for on here. He does seem on Twitter to be adopting a stance of being above it all, and far too sophisticated to actually take a position on anything. A brief scan of his Twitter account makes me thing he's an absolute cunt, not that cunts should be prohibited from standing for office in a democracy of course. It's funny when they only get 363 votes though.

Always best to double-check which direction you're punching in when engaging in ironic, reductive sneering.

Fucking hell those comments about Kelly Rowland and Snoop Dogg are gross. Also, calling Rowland 'horse faced'? She's hardly Bruno Fernandes.

GMTV

Can't be having a reasonably prominent SNP / indy figurehead being accused of being an obnoxious racist. The SNP and indy supporters aren't racist. So I'm not sure what's going on here. Best accept her apologies and we can all continue being progressive.

Always found Bonnie Prince Bob an annoying attention-seeking twat but did he really stand against Robertson in protest over Joanna Cherry not being selected? Is he pally with the terves then?

As for Janey G, I guess it depends on how inherently amusing you find sausage dogs but I liked her tweets and her wee dug so this is disappointing. I see she's locked her Twitter account now, nae mair wee dugs fer me.

Also I hope her pal Scott Agnew is keeping off social media, this is the last thing the poor guy needs right now.

Kankurette

Me too, tbh. I actually liked her up until I found out about those racist tweets.
