      Do you think she sings “Eenie meanie miney moe, catch a tiger by its toe” but with the original words?

      Ah sorry my bad for existing lol, sorry Ms Pochin I won’t do that again

      What a lovely climate of tension in the UK.

      Edit: whoever downvoted my comment right off the bat, I will force feed you ugali on Christmas lad. That’s a promise.

      Companies don’t put black people in advert to be nice, they do it to sell their products to black people. Simple.

      I hate the Nick Griffinication of Britain over the last 10 years. Far right politics not just tolerated, but accepted.

      I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion,I couldn’t give a toss myself. Maybe we should get some more Irish people in adverts

      She’s a politician. You might not like what she has to say but you do need to look at how it lands with voters.

      She’s probably not aiming to win over the Redditor vote but she might well be taking a leaf out of the Trump playbook and believes that she’s tapping into the sentiments of many shy voters who could bring her and her party to power.

      This over sight is a mistake the left continue to make on this and the other side of the pond. Trump 1.0 was bad but Trump 2.0 bigger, badder and crazier than ever not only won, he won over ALL the swing states.

      It will be interesting to see whether the comments here laugh her off or take the threat she presents seriously.

      This is another thing guaranteeing Labour win the next election. That’s how this works right?

      Imagine being privileged enough that a black person in a Sainsbury’s ad is in your top ten of things you’re annoyed about with the world.

      Bet she bloody hates it when they use lesbian couples to sell cars too.

      *”I’m not not racist, it’s just that adverts for cheese burgers with 3 or more black people in them make me really angry…”*

      This is revolting and utterly unacceptable for anyone at all, never mind someone who expects to have a role in public life. Grotesque.

    12. ONLY_SAYS_ONLY on

      And there it is! Mask off. 

      But please, do keep gaslighting me that Reform isn’t the party of racists.

      Absolutely shocking! Who the fuck still watches adverts?

    14. No-Signature8815 on

      Shit like this makes me think that after I get my degree I should leave. Also she complained about adverts ‘filled with black people,filled with asian people and filled with non-white people’. She said this while stumbling over her own tongue.

      I addes this extra information because it seems in general that people seem to think that racism against Asians isn’t as big of a deal,this is evident by the fact that whenever I hear this story mentioned people add the asian part as an afterthought.

      I’m not saying this to undermine anybody who faces racial abuse,I’m saying this because I’m tired of the way I’ve heard people talk about race in this country,it seems that people like me don’t matter in this country. If I think this is the case still by early 2030,then I might just have to pack my bags and leave.

      I mean there have been studies on how this is basically correct, they over represent black people and under represent Asians in British averts potentially based on copying Americans

      I notice that there are a disproportionate number of ethnic minority people in ads.

      But if you think this is something worth voting for a political party based on, I will think you are weird.

      Also, let’s remember Reform are basically Thatcherites with anti-immigration on top. They are fundamentally free-market in a lot of their beliefs and policies. And since no one is FORCING companies to cast particular people in their ads, what are Reform actually going to do about it? Unless they want to force companies to have a particular percentage of different ethnicities in ads, which would be weird and not very free market of them.

      Or is it just a dog whistle, maybe?

    17. existentialgoof on

      I find it somewhat amusing that our adverts always have black people in them (usually as part of a mixed race family). But it certainly isn’t worth being ‘driven mad’ over (maybe an eye roll). Advertisers simply do it because they don’t want to be the only company with a full white cast, and therefore perceived as racist by the consuming public, or be the subject of a social media witch hunt for their choice of actors.

      I imagine that it might drive me mad if I were a small time actor trying to find work in adverts, though.

    18. saxbophone on

      I swear we’re going backwards. I feel this wouldn’t pass the “most people think that’s racist” test 10 years ago…

    19. plawwell on

      Classic Trump playbook. Don’t fall for it and don’t engage with it.
