[Croo67]

A Scottish podcaster has been arrested after ‘abusing’ a Glasgow councillor.

Councillor Dr Soryia Siddique faced ‘Islamophobic and racist’ remarks last week after she claimed Scottish politics was too ‘pale, male, and stale’.

Are you surprised that the councillor hasn’t been arrested for her own racist remarks?

What's he meant to have said?

No idea, but the fact it hasn’t even been paraphrased makes me doubt it’s even on a par with what she said.

I don't think what she said is offensive personally and should fall under free speech. If what he said isn't inciting violence then it should too.

Moaning about there being too many ‘pale’ politicians isn’t racism?

These people do not want free speech. They are lockstep towards authoritarianism.

You constantly post rage bait threads involving race. You are fomenting it.

"I don't want racism"

Sure it's a bit racist but being a bit racist shouldn't be illegal.

I’d post the same threads about Spanish or Irish people, if it was them stabbing 6-year-olds to death at dance classes and orchestrating the rape of 250,000+ white British girls.

People in her position should not be making racist remarks. She hasn’t even been condemned, let alone disciplined for it.

If a white councillor complained about there being too many brown politicians all hell would break loose.

Fine but I don't think that should be illegal either. If you think both should be illegal then cool but agree to disagree

But this is the problem. There is no consistency - he’s been arrested for ‘Islamophobic and racist’ remarks, whilst she hasn’t.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what you or I think - people are being arrested for certain racism.

I'll withhold judgement till I find out what he said. If it was like the burning hotels woman then it's not the same, if it's more innocuous he shouldn't be arrested.

There is so much evil in this world. You are trying to label it. Make sense of it. It doesn't make sense. A gun gets drawn and a scuffle ensues. A person dies. You get a phone call at 4 in the morning. Somebody you love is dead.

I could kill 1000 people, and it wouldn't bring them back. I can't live with hate in my heart. It ate me up for so long. I'm happy now. You want to know why?

I forgave. Forgiveness is the most wonderful gift that you can give yourself. Letting go of the hate and anger. Put it in a duffel bag and send it out to sea.

He’s not been charged for inciting violence; he’s been charged for racism.

Well let's see what he said. I lean towards it being heavy handed at the moment but I can't say for sure right now.

Don't be silly: only white people can be racist.

It’s unbelievable how these fucking imbeciles gained power so quickly.
