What are we supposed to be seeing here?

 

Of course, I agree, without needing further evidence.

Oh yes, the tweet was deleted ... here it is again, some racist bollox from an MBE no less ... it's even got a Twitter Fact Checker box now!

An MBE for services to muppetry.

Seems an MBE for services to charity, specifically for charities keeping kids out of gangs (a big black issuer). A muppet (his other tweets are pretty sad too), but maybe not as racist as the tweet can be interpreted. He got cancelled for saying that BLM doesn't help as it just reinforces that all black people are victims with no control over the outcomes in their lives (paraphrasing here).

I'm not sure that's much of a defence!

And 'cancelled' how ? Here he is, loud & proud, spouting rubbish on twitter. Hardly cancelled ...

From what I read he was taken off Twitter for 7 months after the outcry. And I'm not trying to defend him, his tree clearly doesn't go all the way to the top.

hehe ... not heard that before ...

...from the animation 'Ice Age 2'.

... metaphors that indicate something is lacking, to humorously and informally indicated that someone is dumb. A tree that "doesn't go all the way to the top branch" is missing something.

See: "one card short of a full deck", "two sandwiches short of a picnic".

One liar short of a Conservative government.
