Keith A of Hertford BS: Uk Labour Party discussion II (3626* d) RE: BS: Uk Labour Party discussion II 10 Mar 17

Dave, you posted this ,
The question of why there is an over-representation is the one that can be subject to racist conjecture.

The suggestion is, I guess, that simply by quoting the figures, it displays a racial motive? I don't accept that premise in all cases I am afraid. While I would suspect that certain right wing politicians, who shall remain nameless here, do have that hidden agenda, why should I suspect that Lord Ahmed or Jack Straw are acting in the same way?

Ahmed and Straw were two of those I quoted as claiming a cultural explanation.

Steve,

I very likely didn't challenge it because I was as bored with your hectoring then as I am with your hectoring now.

No Steve. You were posting away quite happily but never challenged the over-representation or the cultural explanation for it.
