I made sure to point it out and explain that everyone makes mistakes. Like Gove said, everyone is tired of experts.

I wonder if there might be a bigger fail here, if the notice was put up by a manager on headed paper etc then that could be argued as an official comms channel and RM could find themselves with a tricky day in court... Wishful thinking maybe. Any employment lawyers on the forum?

Labour quite rightly getting mauled today for this garbage.

Zero tolerance of racism, except when you want to run a spicy attack ad

Maybe I'm missing something but where's the racism there?

Given that both major parties having been banging on about Pakistani grooming gangs this week, seems like slapping a picture of an Asian man against “I heart nonces” is a pretty screeching dog whistle

If he wasn't the prime minister, that could be an easy inference. But. He's the PM.

It's not just an Asian man though is it, it's the prime minister.

“Under the Tories” - that’s 13 years. We’re saying this Asian man is personally responsible for nonce loving soft on crime policy for 13 years when he’s been PM for less than 1?
It’s the great thing about dog whistles, I guess. Y’all can just claim not to hear them.

Yes, putting David Cameron on there would have made much more sense.

Arguably, it's down to the Home Secretary at the time, and that's generally been a race to the bottom.. So it it would have been:
Theresa May
Amber Rudd
Sajid Javid
Priti Patel
Suella Braverman
Grant Shapps
Suella BravermanAnd let's not forget how bad May's tenure was!

For some of the period Labour are referencing Starmer was the literal director of public proesecutions, so maybe they should slap his face on the fucking thing and then you’d be able to recognise a smear when you see one

I don't disagree that it's a terrible ad, just that it's racist.

Whilst this is true, it hardly seems relevant. The DPP / CPS brought the prosecutions and convicted the abusers.
The ad is talking about the resultant sentencing which has nowt to do with the DPP or CPS.

That is the whole point of the terrible ad isn't it, weekly at PMQ's Starmer is accused of turning a blind eye to grooming gangs when DPP and for letting Jimmy Saville going unprosecuted, so this is a rebuttal that these things happen under the current PM. Where it is rubbish is that Labour have been taking the high ground and making the point that the cases were never brought to the CPS to make a decision, so had nothing to do with Starmer, now they appear to of sunk to the Tory level. If you go on social media, Starmer will frequently be getting criticized for enabling grooming gangs and that is all due to Tory soundbites.

I don't think it's racist. He's our PM. And no you couldn't use Boris cause then you ARE hinting something.

What's the difference between this and and the Tories? I think they should fight dirty
That's a learning moment. "Now, who can tell me where I've gone wrong here?". Just style it out next time.
