Apparently he is now seen as a racist? 

 

I'd say less racist, more pompous prig. 

There was whole exchange - since deleted - rather than one solitary tweet.

Wasn't it just on the Shakespeare quote that the guy took offence?

Apparently he used the quote in a previous twitter exchange arguing about ragwort. Seems like a favourite little quote of his.

If he used the same "angry ape" quote at me, i'd assume he was referring to my prehistoric ancestry. Its a pity it was taken otherwise by some people (i hasten to add not by the recipient).

There was a multitude of tweets though,not just the one.

Probably the same way that footballers and others respond to monkey chants and bananas as being racist.

Making monkey noises and throwing bananas is racist. But how can this quote from a Shakespeare play be counted has racist ?

Ludicrous on many levels. Maybe the words "ape" and "monkey" need to be banned, just in case their general use gets misinterpreted as being a racial slur.

 

The woke brigade serve only to create division and resentment. The tide is turning.
