THE BIG QUESTION

-

Every day we’ll be asking your opinion on one of Britain’s big talking points. You can have your say and vote at Tory MP Anne Marie Morris is facing calls to quit after she used the racist phrase “n ***** in the woodpile” during a Brexit debate. Do you think she should stand down? YES 72% Yes. Intentiona­lly or unintentio­nally, this kind of vitriolic racist rhetoric totally undermines her position. ACTIVATOR No. It wasn’t clever using the phrase, but it was acceptable for decades and meant nothing more than something isn’t right. TIM WILSON mirror.co.uk NO 28% Yes. This is the 21st century. That people even use that term is disgusting. That an MP used it in Parliament is beneath contempt. DAVID SPEAKMAN No. Sometimes we unintentio­nally let slip a phrase which was used in our youth. ELAINE KELLY Yes. She may not have intended it, but she was at least thinking it. JOE BURKE Yes. For a serving MP it’s unacceptab­le to use this word in any context – she should resign. GEORDIE246
