    There was no malice in her use of the idiom 'nigger in a woodpile'.

    She is right when discussing the report published which states that 7% of FIs would be affected by Brexit to which she refers when making her comments, the real nigger in the woodpile is indeed what happens if there is no deal. Financial services are likely to suffer the greatest impact to the UK in sterling terms of no deal being struck.

    Anne Marie Morris was stupid and naive to use such an inflammatory term, while in political office or otherwise, and has been dealt with accordingly in withrawal of the whip. But that's all it was, insensitive use of an archaic term.

    Compare this to the disgusting comments Viscount Rhodri Colwyn Phillips made, which Loki posted before this, where malice, racism and direct threats abound.

And now we have to use it.

    And that's Why I'm Voting Leave.
