I'm the last person who should complain about people putting their foot in it on sensitive issues, but Liam Neeson ... Popcorn ready... independent.co.uk/arts-entertain…
OK, benefit of the doubt gone.
At no point during the "but that was wrong of me" part of his speech does Liam Neeson actually address the fact that one black person committing a crime does not justify treating ANY black person you happen meet as if they'd committed that crime.
I feel I should add, I don't know or care enough about Liam Neeson to have a serious opinion. Maybe he's disgusted by his past racism as well as the general pursuit of violent vengeance but simply failed to clearly express it under pressure. Maybe he's clearing that up now. IDK

Dear @BBCNews you have committed two disgusting acts of #FakeNews in the past year. Once was bad enough. But doing it twice in ways that could massively and incorrectly sway public opinion has earned you a thread.
See below.
Your jargon-buster defined the Single Market as a mere Free Trade area.
That wasn't just #FakeNews. It was insidiously fake news because it backed up the government line that if we can simply secure a free trade deal there'll be no economic downsides to leaving the Single Market.
You've reported that Donald Tusk said Brexiteers (widely understood to include voters) should go to hell. He actually said "those who promoted Brexit" which refers to the politicians behind it.
You implied the EU Council president said 17 million Brits should go to hell
#FakeNews

The fact that Theresa May would dare to show her face in Belfast while actively seeking to undermine the protections of the Peace Process by removing the Backstop from the Withdrawal Agreement....
Oh boy, I'm so sorry I'm behind on this. I'm working on a rebuttal, which I'll put on @OFOCBrexit in a bit.
Sorry this took so long.

Let's face it.
The type of Brexit that most of the 52% wanted when they ticked 'Leave' just isn't on the table. That's why Parliament is in utter chaos scrambling for a way out.
So we're taking over Parliament to give them one!
#ParliamentTakeover 20 Feb.
People wanted a Brexit that'd mean more control. But we've got a deal that takes us out of the most powerful decision-making bodies in the world but we'd still follow their rules.
If 52% voted Brexit when we were told we'd get a good deal, how many would've voted for No Deal?
If we've voted for something that is going directly against the wishes of those who voted for it, the only democratic solution is to have more democracy.
That means a #PeoplesVote on the Brexit Deal.

Yeah, so I’ve been slammed all day (still am, in fact), but I just took a break to get caught up on today’s news and...

OH DO I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS ON THIS LIAM NEESON RACIST FUCKERY FOR YOU, TWITTER.

Fuckery in question, primary source version: independent.co.uk/arts-entertain…
First things first. So I’ve been raped.

It sucked. I would not choose to repeat that experience. It made me quite angry, justifiably.

You know what never occurred to me? Um....Attacking someone with the same skin color as my rapist.

AND I WAS THE ONE WHO ACTUALLY GOT RAPED.
Post-rape, I was - as one tends to be - pretty pissed off about the remarkably unpleasant and extremely traumatic experience.

Did I experience heightened distrust of men, generally? Yes. I absolutely did. Did I want to murder all of them? No.

Why? THEY DIDN’T ALL RAPE ME.

The way Twitter tries to word their trends sometimes, I swear.....
I would have led with the whole "wanted to murder a stranger based entirely on their race" angle myself but I don't control the trends independent.co.uk/arts-entertain…
“Democracy works and no man - and certainly not the President - is above the law. He has to be accountable."

And I think we have an explanation for the very generous trend description...

#LiamNeeson admits "years ago" he was in grips of a racist &/or primal tribalist drive for vengeance for abt a week following a loved one's rape. He's clearly been horrified by it since he realized what the hell he was doing.
independent.co.uk/arts-entertain… 1/
He admitted to being animated by an incredibly ugly racism-informed primal tribal instinct & being damn lucky he didn't encounter anyone who inadvertently gave him a pretext to vent his rage during that time. 2/
His admission cd encourage others to more honestly examine how racist ideas & impulses hv influenced their own perceptions & behavior so they can consciously endeavor to do better in the future. Encouraging more such reflection could have a lot of social benefit. 3/

Three weeks ago, I sat with Liam Neeson for a press junket. He shared a startling story with me, for the first time. This is the story of that story. independent.co.uk/arts-entertain…
Now, more backstory on the story above. It went through a rigorous editing process, with a lot – a lot! – of back and forth between me, my editors and our legal advisers.
We could have written it a thousand different ways, and in fact, we did.

Having trouble understanding what SJWs say?

1. You're not alone.
2. It may be simply a case of misunderstanding. They speak their own language, the beauty of which lies in its simplicity.

1. preferential treatment
2. quotas to ensure preferential treatment
3. suppressing others to ensure preferential treatment
