   @emacsen @marnanel I only said make trouble for you, because you said you were Jewish. If I heard someone accuse the Labour leadership of technically kicking trans people out of the country b/c there's no restrooms they're allowed in, and Labour was like "uhhhh w-we uh, can't say I mean what are the chances I don't speak English duhhh" I'd be pretty pissed at them, and glad to see them gone.

     @emacsen @marnanel But I would also check to see if these "Tories" were pushing harder to persecute trans people and Jews. Haters will try to sabatoge others by framing their opponents for what they themselves do, after all. It affects you if somewhere down the line, you expect to be in danger, which is what you should expect when people who hate your group are slowly gaining power even elsewhere in the world.

     Is the argument you're making that the right amplifies these situations to artificially drive a wedge and gain support?

     Sure. But that's what politicians do.

     That's not even dirty politics to me.

     It behooves politicians not to say hateful stuff, or to then be removed if they do.

     Sure, blame the opposition for pointing it out, but a party also has to clean house when this stuff happens.

     It's not a problem unique to the UK. The US and Canada both have it too.
