  • May I also say that having barely been on here over the last couple of years, it is genuinely a pleasure to be back and mix (albeit in the meta verse) with you all - even those I may strongly disagree with and vice-versa

  • I don't think anyone on here has called you racist, neither should they. Some of my advice could possibly be seen as racist, but in truth could be applied equally to any member of a larger community. FWIW a Romany has worked with me for the last 18 years, because nobody else would give her a chance.

    There was a blatantly racist statement made, it was attacked. The pile-on is rarely a pretty thing to watch as the slightest hint of racism is leapt upon even when it isn't really there. A classic example is the conflation of Israeli with Jewish, which is nonsense.

  • Appreciate that- I think it’s good that people are sensitive to such issues but also there’s a risk that people look for things that aren’t there and try and find a way to make it fit.
    All the best
