Now tide has shifted to saying I didn't respond to black people. I turned off notifications from Canary editor's tweets. I have set out, in detail, my thoughts. I'm not deliberately ignoring people, but when you get 100s of similar tweets, it's not possible to respond to all
I keep promising to say no more on this, and I really need to do that. I am not ignoring concerns, but I do think that they are unfair and ignore what I have said. This was all about me asking that people don't try to use Windrush as a way of answering Labour antisemitism.
And I hope that people see how that is exactly how this dynamic works.
I say "please don't respond to my tweets about Corbyn by saying "Windrush".
I am told that is racist, because it is me (and not the people saying "Windrush") who is being insensitive.

The mistake I made (and as @jrwagz told me yesterday) is to assume that this kind of thing can be reasoned through, as if if you just keep trying to make people understand they eventually will. That works for some people but not the pack hunters. Peace out!
