It is in the Daily Mail, the paper that supported the Blackshirts. So it may not be true.

So the story is false just because it is the daily mail reporting on it? They provide photographic evidence and if it was a false story people would have picked up on it and there would at least be a response from other newspapers. It is a true story- whites had to pay ยฃ10 more to attend the rally than minority ethnic groups.

So if the rally was asking for non-whites to pay more than whites that would also be fine? Personally I don't think that's right

That's not been allowed for quite some time.
What if although on the outside I appear to be white, I identically identify as Asian?

It's racist, it'll backfire massively, and honestly do they really think some BAME Labour supporters are now going to attend because it's ยฃ30 who wouldn't have if they had to pay the same as the white man? As the article says it makes it so you have the situation were say an Asian neurosurgeon gets subsidized but the white part-time checkout worker pays full price. They could have least not based it on race and means tested it? Since I assume they're insinuating more BAME members are less wealthy, that would solve the problem for all less fortunate members.
Yet another reason to not vote for Labour with the current cadre in charge.

Are they assuming that all non-White people are poor?

Daily Mail is fake news.

Haven't you even done GCSE English Lit? You should only read news from reputable sources like the BBC, Guardian, etc.
More importantly, whoโ€™s paying ยฃ30+ to see corbyn?
Why on Earth would anyone pay to look at that clown?
Daily Mail isn't the best source for anything politics wise tbh
40 STIRLING SOVERIGNS to listen to a political speech?
Are we doth required to show proof of ownership over our dukedoms and baronies now to witness the King's Speech?

But itโ€™s not lying in this case is it? It was confirmed by a spokesman.

It really is ridiculous that somebody should have to pay extra because they are white. Thatโ€™s racist however you look at it. The other way around and there would (rightly) be uproar.
you really believe the Daily Mail? a right wing newspaper that hates Jeremy Corbyn? I'm not saying it's wrong but I would take it with a pinch of salt tbh

A great example of everyday sexism, that wonโ€™t make it on to the stupid website but โ€˜get your tits outโ€™ is made out to be like Chinese water torture
