Simon Henry's comments about Nadia Lim

[Olive]

The good thing about this is the reaction; it's drawn attention to some of those old ignorance-based views which were once prevalent & made us look hard at them & with any sort of luck, see them for what they are & the damage they do.

Yes, that is a small silver lining.   I am absolutely shocked that there is anyone who still thinks it appropriate or even admirable to voice this sort of dark ages nonsense.   Even my most old fashioned relatives have progressed beyond this combination of misogyny and racism.

I thought the PM's response was good.
