The fleas comment was made on 16th October. As in a week shy of seven months ago.
But yeah, I'm expecting too much for an overnight response or something.
You know we started this over the door cam footage?
But as you’ve added… Admittedly a very quick Google… and I’m probably missing the point, is it that bad a thing to say? Flea bites dog. Dog shakes them off?
It’s incredible poor taste to use it with regards to people resigning in protest of a policy : when that policy is messaging over a response to war. But I’ve heard that term used dozens of times across my life.
It’s callous and dumb as shit to say, but there’s no racial element to it in my eyes. I don’t think a poor turn of phrase sees you fired. It’s not like it was saying something as disgusting as Israel was shaking off the fleas by bombarding Gaza. It was talking about people free to criticise policy and resign, no?
Genuinely not supporting how Labour have handled the messaging on Gaza. They should have wanted to be right from day one, rather than move in the most politically advantageous manner. But still, it’s not some smoking gun in my eyes
