That is the one thing I believe he is clearly not guilty of.<br /><br />That said, his position has been seriously called into question quite apart from these slurs. It does not help at all if we on the left hysterically cry "racist" just because a Muslim woman has been criticised. It undermines not only the fight against racism, but our argument as to why the Tory position on Hunt is so indefensible.Rob Marchanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11534810369839848312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7741861999194728080.post-17470957667955467282012-06-06T13:52:48.533+01:002012-06-06T13:52:48.533+01:00Don't the left-liberal bloggers trying to play...Don't the left-liberal bloggers trying to play the race card against Cameron in regards to Baroness Warsi show what both you and Stephen Bush were saying about certain lefties trying to play the race card and make insinuations -due to political bias-actually undermine the fight against racism and gives the Conservatives all the propagand they need?Damienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424550853436211546noreply@blogger.com
