Why would they? If someone gave you 10 million, say a lottery win, and months later it transpired the boss of the lottery company had said something in a private conversation 4 years ago that you didn’t like, would you give the money back? I don’t think so!

How many of those who proudly proclaim themselves to be 'anti racist' and/ or 'celebrate other cultures' actually celebrate aspects of other cultures which they find either personally, or as part of groupthink, distasteful?

I don’t think so! I'm not a political party with supposed standards of probity though, the donation wouldn't be to promote those supposed standards of probity. It's rumoured George Galloway, the gobshite self serving twunt who is representing Rochdale for a little while, has received money from Putin. Would you consider that ok?

Why would they? Would you celebrate the taking of small boys to bed to suck your cock, a Pacific island tradition? Your reasoning suggests you might.

So as long as other cultures meet the approval of the 'master culture', yours, you will continue to celebrate other cultures, I guess.

I didn’t think George Galloway was a Tory party member? He stood as an MP, people voted for him. That’s democracy. Democracy doesn’t involve only being allowed to vote for people you approve of. Unless you are Putin. If you don’t like democracy then go and live somewhere where there isn’t democracy.

Galloway was Labour. He spotted that the non reflectors are on a trajectory to take over and decided to jump on the banned wagon during the changes.
I can see why Jim might have issues with Galloway as he is a litte close to home.
A lot of furriners used to vote Labour until they worked out they can have their own parties and get in on numbers.

Answer the question directly, there's a good chap😂😂😂😂

I'm questioning whether any political party should take or keep funds and contributions from those deemed beyond the pale, the subject of the thread. We're talking principles, apparently lacking in the Tory Party.

Who deems Putin beyond the pale?
I certainly don't. It seems to me he is doing rather a good job. I particularly liked the way he took the annoying uppity mans plane out of the sky. That was a class move.

Harmless useless weirdo would have included all of the vowels.
I am in no way harmless I just avoid causing it.

Answer the question directly, there's a good chap😂😂😂😂 Your question isn't relevant. The point is, I believe that people from different parts of the world, whose histories and environments have resulted in them behaving in certain ways should be free to continue to do so, without judgment from another set of people, whose history and environment is different. You however, pretend, on one hand, to celebrate these differences. It's a great pretence but you limit it 'safe' areas such as song, dance, architecture and food. On the other hand you stand in constant judgment of the behaviours of those whose histories and environments lead them to behave in ways which differ from yours. Any behaviours which don't meet your exacting standards, you condemn. You look at everything through the narrow prism of modern developed western democracies, as if nothing else exists. And if it does, it's inherently inferior. Anti-racist? my fuckin arse. Stick to policing language. That's nice and simple. Just your level.

Just your level. of course my question is relevant, the practise I described was a part of the culture, should it carry on or not? All the rest of your febrile construction is piss and wind to avoid the issue.
