Lord Kilclooney, who was made a life peer in 2001, told the Evening Standard: “Biden refers to himself as being Irish. There’s no difference.  

“India is celebrating her victory which was well-deserved.”

Asked if he agreed that it was racist to refer to her as “the Indian”, he replied: “No not at all, not at all. 

"People in America claim to be black, claim to be Irish, claim to be Indian.

“I don’t like the way the American media yesterday was referring to her as being black that is rather racist. But she’s certainly Indian and proud of her Indian origin.”

 

 

Lordy lordy...

It is not the first time the former deputy leader of the Ulster Unionist Party has sparked controversy over his comments. 

The peer previously sent a tweet referring to the taoiseach Leo Varadkar as a "typical Indian" which he acknowledged later was a mistake.

Kilclooney had previously been labelled an "old racist dinosaur" by Piers Morgan, for comments he had made in 2017 about cricketer Moeen Ali. Kilclooney had said on Twitter that, "Times have changed! The England team now needs non English people in order to win Test Games". When it was pointed out that Ali was born in Britain, Kilclooney responded, "Moeen Ali is proud to be British but racially he is not English. There is a difference between being English and being British!!", adding that, "A Chinese born in England is Chinese and not English!".

 

Well someone's a charmer :lol:

Aye, just reading his replies- he knew enough about her to know her mother was from India, but not enough about her to use her name. 
 

What a fucking throbber. 

If only there were some resource he could’ve used to look it up before sending the tweet

Apart from it being racist it displays a staggering ignorance given an Indian played test cricket for England in the nineteenth century and there’s been countless others since of Asian, West Indian descent etc.

The Four Seasons Landscaping Press Conference just keeps on giving…

 

… the first bloke Guiliani called up as a “witness” is a convicted sex offender. :lol:

What are people's thoughts now? Strikes me that with lead Republicans doubling down, and Trump's new appointments and behaviour, we're looking at the potential for a full on coup here? Or is that over dramatic?

Nah, he’s toast. He’s going to go out in full on toddler tantrum mode, no grace, no concession. The republicans won’t speak out against him or congratulate Biden because they are all shit scared of him - he will continue to cast a shadow over the party. His base still worship him.

He needs to challenge and somehow win all of those last five or six states - one or two are no good so it's all about accepting that. I think they've probably moved on to trying to build an agenda for the next election that this one was "stolen".

If he creates enough of a dispute about the whole issue that it ends up back in the House (it would have to be a serious mess to get to this though), he doesn't need to flip any states really, he can just bank on winning in there (apparently).
