    Default 'I know how it feels to be told to go back to where I came from'

    Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Sajid Javid, Home Secretary in the UK Conservative government, remembers being scared as a young boy having to walk to school by a different route to avoid National Front thugs.

    "We have come a long way since then," he says, but warns of "far-right thugs hiding their racism behind a false pretence of nationalism" and "extremists who latch onto these divisions and fears like bacteria and help spread them, trying to infect communities."

    He recalls that as Home Secretary he has excluded extremists from the UK, ranging from a far-right white supremacist to a US black nationalist, as well as hate preachers.

    "The point where outspoken comments become hate speech is a grey area and one that must be approached carefully. We all have a responsibility to be mindful of the words we use so that free speech, one of our greatest values, is not used to justify hate-fuelled actions."


    Mr Javid names no names; but if it's who I think, and he's asking him to be mindful of his words - some hope! Might as well ask a pig to fly.

    "This is the kind of white nationalism we elected him for" - Andrew Anglin, Daily Stormer.

    No one told anyone to go back where they came from. Why do you leftists keep lying about what Trump actually said?

    So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!

    Please show me where he told anyone to go back where they came from IN CONTEXT! I know you dishonest hacks like to take things out of context to promote your lies, but it is dishonest and pathetic.

    Conservative Sajid Javid must have misunderstood your incomparable hero.

    Could be where he said: "you can’t leave fast enough" (back to the "totally broken" places they came from).

    In context it was Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!

    Where's the racist part?

    It's a dog whistle. You say stuff like that to women of color, you're either a racist or a fool. Or both.
