This has the same vibe as "Although it was never on the ballot paper, when the British public voted to leave the EU they really meant the single market and customs union as well."

If she said this (and I don't doubt she did), it seems to me she's the Ronnie Barker character in this sketch. She's fed up with being racially harassed, but she's found another minority she can harass in her turn. Not a good look.

If you try to get into the USA as a foreign tourist they ask you if you've ever been engaged in terrorism or genocide. Maybe these days Israel asks the same question of Americans, but only lets you in if the answer is 'yes'?

Following in the footsteps of the late Stanley Owen Green. I saw him once or twice. I think one of his slogans was "You will all die from too much married love!" Maybe so, but what a way to go! 🤣
