1. it’s not a racist remark

2. are you seriously suggesting that people who don’t like living in Britain should be preventing from leaving? If not, you’ve in agreement with McGrath

It’s true. It wasn’t a racist remark. Reports suggest that Boris resisted firing him but was told otherwise by Cameron and so rolled over.

My points ::

1 – interesting that the citizen journo who did the interview welcomed the resignation, makes me think about the tone of the interview

2 – I don’t think that the remarks were necessarily racist

3 – If you know anything about rightwing Aussie politics, you may be wary about defending McGrath

The speed at which he was gone was telling, the preemptive strike against a non existent backlash speaks volumes…
