Entirely right. A royal college invitation to speak carries great prestige. To see @rcgp extending this to someone who states she sees nothing wrong with Enoch Powell’s Rivers of Blood speech was flabbergasting.https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/may/31/royal-college-of-gps-cancels-julia-hartley-brewer-invitation?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other …

On balance, I'd certainly rather be too sensitive to the possibility of racism than one who is unable to see anything wrong with Powell's Rivers of Blood speech.
-
Oh dear, someone didn’t read the article, did they?
-
I most certainly did. I just didn't buy your post-hoc defence of that infamously click-baity tweet of yrs. If you now admit that "certainly some of [Powell's] language about ethnic minority immigrants was nasty" then why, at the time, did you see *nothing* wrong in the speech?

Oh for heaven’s sake. Read the thread. Literally says the opposite

If you’re trying to be subtle in your racism, it’s not working. Bravo

Astonishing that there’s not a hint of humility or mortification at being called out so thoroughly by this articulate and dedicated doctor.
-
It’s only a wild guess, but I wonder if her startling lack of mortification & humility is because she’s a soulless, bitter & curdled sociopath, incapable of transmitting or receiving empathy, kindness or love? Just a guess, mind.

What does that mean? ‘Read racism into everything’? Is this your old trick saying that people don’t understand you whilst they really do understand what you actually meant? Or is it that we don’t get your humour, that we have the wrong kind of humour? Archeology, indeed.
