>> But had he said anything else the media would paint him an uncaring monster.
Given he used the same words three times one is inclined to think they were used with consideration which would fit with Terry's theory. Perhaps there's a sort ranking as to the lwording used in these sort of comments. I've not yet seen what Pritit Patel said in the Commons today.
It's also true that the extreme right are making most of the fact that victims were white to oppose Black Lives Matter.
I've a Facebook acquaintance who regularly posts 'Leave.EU' stuff. Now it's not clear what Leave.EU is actually for these days as we've left but it seems to have adapted to other causes including trying to prove George Floyd's record was such as to imply that he deserved it, defending Churchill's statue as if it was really under threat etc etc.
Yesterday's effort was around English Lives Matter and migration/Asylum policy.
That's far from the worst. There is a cohort out there who genuinely believe Powell's prediction of the black man having the whip hand has come to pass.
