Well if you read the posts and the actual story you will see that yes he did say 'they all look the same to me'.
No just replying to you on the comment you first made comparing two people.
So anyone who has ever said that someone looks like someone else is racist? Or does it just count for those who are not white British
If it was any race in general then yes.
My guess would be that the person you are talking about is aligned to something you like to have a go at/point scoring. Or are we now not allowed to say two people look similar
Shake someone's hand and all is OK.You're all missing the crux of the matter.
Who cares if he's a massive racist and jokes of putting bombs in offices.
The fact is Jack Straw shook Robert Mugabes hand almost 20 years ago and that's the real issue of the day.
Oh come on. It’s not like he’s got form for being controversial…
… this month.Tory James Gray apologises for sick joke about delivering 'bomb' to Labour MP
The MP made the 'foolish' remark on a Tory WhatsApp group ahead of Labour's conference in Brighton - where an IRA bomb killed five people at the Conservative conference in 1984www.mirror.co.uk
Shake someone's hand and all is OK.
If a comment about someone who is black is racist then it is racist whatever the background of the comment. No excuses should be used. But if you try to understand one comment you should try to understand all comments and not say guilty/not guilty because of political stance/point scoring.

Agree. If one is guilty both are guilty. If one is innocent they are both innocent. Shaking a hand doesn't take away from the comment made.Few people in here showing their biases. Whether he said it isn’t up for debate, it’s been reported everywhere that he did. So taking that fact you can either defend him saying it or not.
Look aboveYou mean like you’ve just done?
Naaa. It’s clearly an honest mistake. He’s a good guy.

Someone says he couldn't see a black person properly because it wasn't light enough. But it is OK because he shook his hand. Not guilty.Literally nothing you are saying makes sense

Two people look similar. Guilty.
Can someone please explain.

Have you even read the posts above you and the story?
So nobody said that two people looked similar on here and I replied to that?Literally no one has defended Jack Straw. One person used it as a pathetic deflection from this story.
And to repeat, he didn't say two people look similar. He said 'they all look the same'
Look above
And they are the two I quoted. So of course nobody can answer.I get the feeling that would turn into a very long & unrewarding conversation, so no.
My bias? So what is my bias?It was more about your jump to try and question whether he said it at all because of your bias that makes you think all accusations of racism against a RW politician are false.
Can’t we just agree that the guy is most likely an ignorant racist wanker?
I fully agree.Can’t we just agree that the guy is most likely an ignorant racist wanker?
No he's the logical centre ground guy that doesn't go for bias from either sideIt was more about your jump to try and question whether he said it at all because of your bias that makes you think all accusations of racism against a RW politician are false.
They are as bad as each other. Unless you want to defend one side and attack the other that is.No he's the logical centre ground guy that doesn't go for bias from either side
I fully agree.

My bias? So what is my bias?
Boris is an absolute idiot. I have never voted Tory. I have never voted UKIP. My wife and younger kids live in an EU country. I will be joining them in 18 months. Yet because I question all sides I am accused of bias.
Time to leave you all to it. Not getting dragged into this Labour/Tory bullshit bias thing again.
That's good, I just don't know why you're trying to make excuses for him by saying he didn't say it.
Here we go again..... as usual.That's good, I just don't know why you're trying to make excuses for him by saying he didn't say it.
YesCan’t we just agree that the guy is most likely an ignorant racist wanker?
Someone gets the pointIf this had been a member of a different party my opinion would be exactly the same. It's unacceptable and whoever did it should face severe reprimands for it.
Here we go again..... as usual.
Point out where I said he didn't say it.
Idiots paradise on here.
Someone gets the point
But look at the others on here. And the idiots are in attack mode for me pointing out a handshake doesn't make up for a comment made.

What a load of bullshit from yourself as usual.You said that it's not racist to say two people look alike.
I replied to say that's not what he said and you came back with 'did he actually say that or are you making that up?'
This is a strange hill to die on
