Sarah Pochin had a point - white people are massively underrepresented right across society, very much including the advertising industry. Could she have worded it better? Yes, obviously, but Farage was wrong to throw her under the bus yesterday for it. A good leader supports their team, even in difficult times.
The media focus on this over the past few days has been insane. Don't submit to the mob, certainly don't throw a colleague to the wolves to satisfy the pack. It will never work.
Let's be honest. Anti-white racism is rife - I've been making this argument quite vociferously. I get called racist on a daily basis because of it.
Oh well. They can get in the queue behind Maitlis.
White men and women face discrimination because of the colour of their skin. Regularly, in the many, many thousands. It's not even hidden. It's openly bragged about.
We must continue to call that out. Even if it results in unpleasant names. Honestly, who cares anymore?
Let's push back. I will certainly continue doing so.
One clumsy clip from
@SarahForRuncorn, taken out of context, is simply not a priority.
I hope Sarah is taking it alright.
