    Julia Hartley-Brewer Retweeted Diane Abbott

    The idea that an inquiry is incapable of getting to the truth because it doesn’t have any members who have a particular skin colour, or who grew up on a council estate, is patently absurd. Identity politics at its very worst.https://twitter.com/hackneyabbott/status/994876361494933505 …

        On that basis, no black man could sit on a jury deciding my guilt or innocence as a white woman. Absurd.

        Easily: The Grenfell families are asking for *diversity* in the panel. Julia’s straw-man insinuates that they want a non-white panel; and her arguments demands a complete lack of diversity in the form of an all white, female jury. It's an entirely false equation. Ergo, straw-man.pic.twitter.com/aXH7jqrmnG

        LOL Ignores original tweet which includes socio-economic background Describes a "complete lack of diversity" as all white, all female panel - reducing those people to two race/sex characteristics Posts gif like a really clever boy So what DO you consider a diverse panel then?

        You didn’t ask me to address the original tweet, just the straw-man. 2 characteristics? You mean exactly as Julia did and you pointed out? GIF, I know, right 😜, I can walk you through it if you’re confused. Diversity, genuinely interesting question… /1

        Diversity is important, not because of superficial appearances, but for neural diversity. ND is about the idea that what you actually after is diversity of though and approach. That’s about life experience, background, brain wiring. /2

        What the fuck has Israel got to do with you suggesting she's used her privilege? I'll ask again what privilege? Israel has every right to exist, just as the Palestinians have every right not to be shot by Israel for no fucking reason.

        I think this is much more to do with trust. This is one one the worst things I have seen happen in my lifetime and the governments response was poor. These people have been through something unimaginable and they need to trust some representatives involved in the inquiry

        I'm gay. If this were an enquiry about the deaths that overwhelmingly involved gay people, I would expect there to be someone from my community on the panel. It's not about race or sexuality or identity politics, but shared experiences. Someone who knows what it is like.

        OK, but why would being gay a desired qualification for the inquiry, as distinct from being left-handed, heterosexual or a shopkeeper?

        Because a straight person can't talk about homophobia, or how it feels to be gay, or the thoughts that go through our head holding hands with our partners on the street.

        Can't feel it, but can sure talk about it with gay friends. But that's not my point- we are all sorts living in a common society which relies on a variety of specialists. If we need a specialist, we should only care about their expertise. Else discrimination..../1

        Replying to @Jabblewox @ScouseSocialism and

        For example, if victims & survivors of a disaster are all heterosexual, would that justify discriminating against gay experts being on inquiry? I'd say not. Else you're not getting the best expertise, and that's selling short the idea of a best possible inquiry. /fin
