Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Then I am afraid I will have to disappoint you. We are talking value judgements here: what one person sees as innocuous another sees as racist/antisemitic. I think the proper response is not to say "Of course I wasn't racist(or antisemitic)" but to ask oneself "What was it about what I said that made people think that?". And that is not aimed at you, Keith, but at every one of us, all the time.

Which is why I think it a matter for "examining one's own conscience" rather than public calling out. And why I will confine myself to matters in the public domain rather than those between posters here.
