Should Keir sack Lammy for his past offensive remarks to Trump?

Lammy aka fat head. Called Trump “ Trump is a far right extremist. He supports Neo Nazis, KKK and other racists. We need to call him for what he is.

Whereas if Harris had won, Lammy would be lauded for his candour. Winner takes it all I guess.

Trump is pro free speech, he won’t be upset by hurty words, after all, his VP called him ‘America’s hitler’

I doubt Trump has any idea who Starmer or Lammy are.

I just feel sorry for Trump having had to endure dinner with them both. Probably the least interesting two people he has ever met.

It’s going to be hysterical to watch Lammy, Starmer, and the rest of the Labour goons sucking up to Trump over the next few years as they desperately try to find something down the back of the sofa that they can sell to the British electorate as economic growth and success.

Lammy is clearly just a bit of a keyboard warrior

Had his chance to put his thoughts to trump directly to his face and didn't

All talk no trousers maybe

Though Lammy was quoted on BBC news stating

said.

"I think that what you say as a backbencher and what you do wearing the real duty of public office are two different things.

"And I am foreign secretary. There are things I know now that I didn't know back then."

I wonder what he knows now as foreign secretary that has changed his outlook

I am not a fan of the Foreign Secretary.

What he is guilty of is pandering to the student like masses that occupy local posts in the Labour Party, picking on a soft and easy target (albeit probably very deserved of these comments), simply to get an approval from grass roots. It was wrong for someone who aspired to higher office to naively criticise in such a manner and in the circumstances, he should have left the low level muck raking to those who would never attain higher office.

HOWEVER...SAID IN BIG LETTERS, with this sitting there for all to see, he was given the chief diplomatic post in the government by the PM, Sir Keir Starmer. We all knew that Donald Trump was standing to be POTUS. There was a chance that he would win (as was the case).

I therefore feel, that for better or worse, the only criticism should be levelled at the PM as Lammy for his faults was appointed by the PM.

Free speech is not about not getting offended. Everyone has the right to be offended. The question of free speech comes into play if the government takes action on you or you face violence or violent threat for spoken words.

"If someone calls you names, you won't be offended? It's called self respect."

Proper self respect involves knowing that the other person is wrong about you, and just ignoring what they say. If you get offended, it's only because part of you believes that what they say is true, and is shameful.

I was insulted this very morning on this site by someone that read something into my words that wasn't there. I wished her well, and left the conversation. Being offended by words is not a moral standpoint, it's a coping mechanism that throws blame onto others instead of looking at yourself.

No he doesn't

They've already met, it apparently went well

A quote from the BBC

Lammy called the incoming president "a "very gracious host" who offered him "a second portion of chicken" during their dinner".

See, all good

The real question is, given Donnies propensity for McDonald's, was the chicken in nugget form? I wouldn't dare bet against it lol

I see your point. But that level of self confidence is rare. It's easier to be not flustered by online comments. In real life, when someone you know makes derogatory comments about you, it's hard to ignore.

Fair enough. But you should stop telling people that getting offended is about self respect, and is something to be encouraged. It isn't."

But it can be about self respect? There is a difference between being easily offended and being offended when someone is targeted with a vicious comment or action. Also, being offended is our internal reaction to something. Our external reaction could be to not give a damn about it or start a fight over it.

And that internal reaction can be based on self respect. We create a respectful image of ourselves within us. Someone calling us names out of spite could well trigger offense within us. That's still based on self-respect. One could get offended but still not start a fight over it.

The only way offence can be triggered is if you think the other person has a point. If someone calls me a racist, I'm not offended because I know they're wrong. I might be irritated if they're doing it to deliberately bait me, but I'm not offended.

The only reason for getting offended at words is because you're overly sensitive, and that's usually because there's some truth in the accusation.

This is where we disagree, especially on the degree of truth part. While it's true that people get offended when there is a degree of truth in the accusation, it doesn't have to be the case always. Fake accusations can be offensive too.

Or maybe... offense isn't the right word for that emotion?

Good thinking. Maybe the chap above and I are arguing at cross-purposes.
