Typical patronising aristo with her faux 'I stand up for the workers'...well, real workers think you are a prig. You think you can insult your leader and still stand as an MP? Arrogant so and so!
Champagne corks popping all over Kensington . There will be a mass rejoining of the Kensington party by all those people of good will driven out by Dent Coad & Lari. The CLP now finally has a chance to elect a parliamentary candidate / MP truly representative of Kensington
Bring back Henderson! An outstanding man who has done more for Kensington's social housing than Dent Coad ever managed to do in her 17 miserable years on the Council.
Dent Coad colluded with the Tories by allowing tenants to be shafted when she was on the TMO Board. Henderson would never have played the Tory tenant managemant game. The Labour Party nationally has seen through her.
16.21 above. Please explain how Emma Dent Coad is truly representative of Kensington. She claims to be a toff - Medici, Columbus, the Borigias and an Aunt who married an aristocrat makes her truly representative of the Kensingtonians of Knightsbridge and Holland Park.
Truly representative of a woman holding down a job at Gregg's the Bakers to feed five kids, I don't think so. Emma's children went to Public School.
Excellent, well done Starmer. Ysterday he stopped Michael Macleod in Peckham, today Dent Coad in Kensington, if he carries on in this vein he might just make Labour electable again.
She bullied those who opposed her: stepped on them and cast them aside. Her statement is self serving emotional dribble and adds nothing of any value. She should stop feeling sorry for herself get on with completing her Ph.d at Liverpool University.
Just how could the Labour Party not think she is wonderful?
The future looks bright for Kensington Labour. Someone has listened to the little people for once.
Worth pointing out that DentCoad was never selected as the Parliamentary candidate for Kensington by the membership . She was imposed in haste by the then Corbyn controlled party officials . ( The same machine that she now condemns for blocking her from standing this time). The 'machine' ,having seen what a useless MP she proved to be ,were determined not to have her back again . They also know how she destroyed the local party to the extent that only freaks and naifs were allowed to stand at the local elections ( elections were Labour failed to make any gains )
If Emma Dent Coad is any good, she could fight the parliamentary seat as an independent candidate at the next General Election. It was Emma who declared that she organised the strategy for winning in 2017 - virtually single handedly (if I remember correctly) from her kitchen table.
Ian could have stood as an independent candidate but he deserves to be the Labour candidate based on his record in social housing activism. Emma Dent Coad's record in social housing activism is less impressive.
Yes, Emma declares herself "a proud anti-racist campaigner" but that does meake it true. It was Emma, not Ian, who depicted a Black politician being strung up on a gibbett. Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party condoned this unvarnished racism and Diane Abbott bought Emma a cake afterwards in the House of Commons' Tea Room. BUT Starmer, a man of integrity, did the right thing and consigned Emma to history.
She will want to take the Labour Party to court. Corbyn or Momentum will probably arrange for her to see the Labour QC who advised her when Sam Gymiah spoke out about her in 2019. Better to bow out of politics garcefully instead of going disgracefully.
According to an article in The Guardian, the Labour Party gave Emma DC a "due dilligence dossier."
How do we get to see the dossier so we can judge for ourselves if she has been hard done by?
I am sure if Emma DC made the dossier available to our glorious and gracious lady, The Dame, the material would be reproduced for all good Hornets to read. In the meantime, one's mind boggles.
EDC signed off her statement (with the red background) which has been reproduced above with the word, "Solidarity."
Solidarity is a feeling of political unity which Emma understands better than most. Socialists love to be in a state of permanent struggle against the forces of capitalism and oppression. It would have been better if she had signed off,
John McDonell MP spoke up for Emma Dent Coad on the teley last night saying that he saw first hand just how much she cared for her constituents when she was a Member of Parliament. He never had to approach her for help with a Council problem.
Emma Dent Coad does not have a monopoly on caring and compassion. There are lots of other caring and compassionate people in the Party who could represent Kensington just as well as Emma managed to do. Two of them who come to mind and I am certain they would both make better MP's than Emma despite her two years' stint in the job from 2017 to 2019. If Emma had refrained from Entryism then Ian Henderson might have stood a chance of being elected to care for constituents. Coban Mete is also a very caring person.
Ian Henderson didn’t have the bottle to stand as an independent Cllr (he knew he’d never get elected) so bought Mete in to the area to do the dirty on his behalf. Ian Henderson is still a Labour member. Why didn’t he put his name on the list of candidates? He’s such a bitter old man.
We know that Dent Coad is racist. Her supporters have resorted to taking a leaf out of her book and now make nasty comments about Ian Henderson's age.
Kensington is best rid of this racist, viperish, woman. Corbyn did nothing about Dent Coad drawing a disgusting picture of Shaun Bailey being hanged by the neck. The lowest of the low, without aristocratic claims, would not draw a picture of someone being hanged. Good on yer, Keir, for taking action just like any proper Labour leader should.
Henderson seems to be playing all candidates against each other. First a Coad supporter, and now jumping all over Brent resident Rita Begum and Hackney resident Mete Coban.
We no longer have residency qualifications for prospective parliamentary candidates. Dent Coad was not born in Kensington or, for that matter, in Chelsea. She was born in the Metropolitan Borough of STEPNEY. Kensington does not need an Eastender with nasty prejudices taking the lead; even one with a nice middle class accent. I think Ms Begum or Mr Coban will do Kensington proud without the nastiness to people of colour.
I may have to retract my comment about Ian Henderson’s age on account of him being only 54 years young. Though I must be forgiven for thinking he was at least 70. Looks like a facelift may be in order
Actually, Henderson looks young for his age & is certainly dapper & well presented at all times. A good head of hair too - but how shallow can you get by judging people by their appearance? By the way Dent-Coad is 67 so surely isn't it rather odd for her supporters to be attacking her rivals on grounds of their age ?
Henderson is also younger than the crank heavies that Emma calls out to do her dirty work online and in public. Surely we just need to send them all to crank retirement house. It’s okay Emma it’s time to sit down and get off your phone.
Now remember, when you do bad things it comes back on you. A silly and stupid expression, I know, but there is definitely something in it.
We all know the lengths that Emma Dent Coad went to in order to see off Henderson and anyone else who had a chance of getting Labour's nomination to be the next Parliamentary candidate at the forthcoming General Election. Jiggery pokery, dissembling and Trotskite tactics were just some of the dark forces at work over the last six to twelve months. Emma thought, back in the Spring, that her candidacy for the next General Election was in the bag. The autumn is now on us, and in just a couple of months, it is a different kettle of fish.
Perhaps, those whom Emma saw off grassed her up to Labour Central Office or whatever the Labour calls their HQ?
Did Atkinson, Blakeman, Healey, Henderson and Press all band together and grass to Labour HQ? Just what did they dig up for the due dilligence dossier?
Or did just Labour party person squeal to Labour's powers that be? If just one person snitched, it would have to be someone who was highly respected for a left wing party to take it seriously.
Whatever happened, or just how strategic Emma came unsutck and met her deserved fate may never be known but their will be much time spent by the loony left theorising. Left wing divine duplicitousness indeed!
Why are you still peddling falsehoods? Emma did not ‘see off’ Ian Henderson. He’s still a Labour member and can put his name forward for the nomination if he wants to. He doesn’t have to be a Cllr to do that. So why didn’t he put his name on the list? Because he knows members will not vote for him. Just like they didn’t vote for him earlier this year (he was up for selection in Colville and nobody picked him).
Emma practised Trotskyite Entryism and created a toxic culture for her own benefit to see off Ian and anyone who might have stepped on her toes. Let's face it no one does toxic better than Emma. She is the one who drew a picture of Shaun Bailey being hanged and called him a token ghetto boy, a scumbag whose public school mates would drop him like a hot potato. How toxic and repugnant. We have all heard just how nasty she was to see Ian off at local level.
Didn't the Labour shower who supported Emma want Ian Henderson disciplined for helping out at the Foodbank; just because the Tories were there helping out at the same time. If she were Miss Perfect she would not be barred from standing for Parliament. Let her go independent, I am sure she will clear the decks. She is the most righteous person I know.
The picture was not of Shaun Bailey the scumbag. It was just drawn in black ink (including the gallow). Those who suggest it was a black man hanging are clearly projecting their own vile views.
I heard that Emma used her daughter, Connie Blott, to adversely affect Ian's re-selection as a Labour candidate in Colville Ward. Democratic, but others will judge what she was up to.
As Emma ratcheted up her campaign to see off Ian, her lot banned Ian Henderson from attending a meeting of Kensington Labour just because he lived in Chelsea. He had attended Kensington Labour meetings on countless other occasions but when the knives were out....
It may be the Party's Rules but others will judge her motivations.
I heard that they also barred Robert Atkinson from meetings of Kensington Labour. If I did not know better, I might think that Poll Pot was running the place.
Robert Atkinson was not barred from any meeting. He was always free to attend as an elected Cllr in Notting Dale. He is however a massive Tory looking for a nest egg to sustain him in his later years, and managed to last very long under the guise of being a ‘Labour’ Cllr. Now that it’s game over his social media activity has shown just how much he cosies up to Moylan and the rest of them.
EDC has never claimed to be born in North Kensington. She’s always stated she was born in East London and grew up in Chelsea. Moving to north Ken in the 80s. Clearly stated in her maiden speech as MP.
Look at her Labour nomination video “Born and bred in kensington”. Don’t see where she mentions moving here from East London. How many people who have watched her maiden speech? Lot more lies spread on her Twitter
"The constituency is my DNA" is what the Dent Coad woman said in her maiden speech to Parliament. If only that were true.
She referred to being brought up in Chelsea ON NUMEROUS OTHER OCCASIONS giving the impression that she was actually born there. She certainly implied it with her tone and body language. She let it be known that her first husband was Sir Hadley D'Oyly. Cheps called "Hadley D'Oyly" don't belong in STEPNEY. All that shit about Columbus, Perceval, and the Borgias worked well with her Chelsea born and bred image.
Her dead campaign consists of endorsements from her local cranks. Can’t get her SCG friends to support her, they know they don’t want to be seen with a racist.
SCG is around antisemitism do often they don't know what it is and why it matters.19 October 2022 at 15:18
She was so confident when she "liked" that antisemitic social media feed. The Nazis blamed the Jews for everything and Dent Coad supported an SCG anti semite who made a similar claim - that the State of Israel brought shame on every Jewish person.
Oli Jacobs
Her casual apology for this racist view was not good enough. Emma's been looking at this (after her anti Jewishness was called out) and apologises.
Why has it taken Labour five years to deal with Emma Dent Coad's bad behaviour? So they don't want her in parliament. Fair do's. Is the next step her expulsion?
Why wasn't she disciplined and expelled when this came to light. I am Black and needed political representation when she was the MP. I did not approach her because of what she did.
Jeremy Corbyn MP and Diane Abbott MP both postulated that Emma was not a racist. Since when did those two have the last word on what is, and what is not, racist.
That pair accepted that their political sister, Emma of the Socialist Campaign Group, was quoting some Black Grandma from North Kensington when she referred to Shaun Bailey AM as a "token ghetto boy" and a "scumbag." Those of us who thought differently were ignored when we argued that it was Emma, and not the Black Granny, who drew that appalling picture of Shaun being hung. Even if I buy the story about quotiong some unpleasant black woman, (and I don't buy it) Emma knew that those comments would appeal to every good racist. She drew that picture about twelve years ago and it has taken Labour all these years to do something to make her pay for what she did.
Poor Shaun Bailey. I cannot imagine how hurt and upset he must have been.
Cowan might bring some decent, much needed, order and discipline to the Kensington Labour Party. We have had Corbyn style Trotskyist strategies for the last few years and that was just about the limit.
The venom expressed by the above Tory scum shows that they really fear a socialist MP who, whatever her aristocratic roots, did put the majority ahead of the selfish rich minority that pollute our constituency. But fear not. The Stalinist purges undertaken by the snake starmer will ensure that no socialist candidate will ever threaten their cosy existence
The Tories will welcome someone with a brain for once. Emma is a fake academic, a fake local, a fake architect, and a fake Labour member. That’s why she’s downing those bottles every evening to wash away the lies.
I am not a Tory and am not scum. Emma Dent Coad is a racist. She calls herself a "proud anti-racist" and exploits her association with Jeremy Corbyn MP to support this dishonest claim.
Arthur Pringle above says he cannot imagine how hurt and upset Shaun Bailey AM must have been when Emma did what she did. I am a proud gay man. I know what it is like to be abused for the way that I was born. I know how hatred of homosexuals led to me being queer bashed; being kicked along the street ending up in hospital. I think I know how Shaun Bailey felt when he was abused for being black.
Emma made a catastrophic mistake when she responded to Shaun Bailey's evidence of her nasty remarks and obnoxious picture of him swinging on a gallows. She was interviewed about it by Vanessa Feltz on BBC Radio London. She tried saying that she was just quoting the Black Grandmother and that Shaun Bailey had said far worse things about himself over the years. Vanessa Feltz made it clear that she was not entitled to pass on those remarks. There were several pregnant pauses from Emma as Vanessa pressed her and backed her in to a corner from which she could not retreat. Emma concluded, "IF Shaun is offended I apologise." Vanessa did not allow her to get away with this backhanded apology and said, very pointedly, "IF" and Emma then managed to say, " I apologise."
The backhanded apology impressed no one. She was not contrite and did herself no favours. Every caller to that programme for the next three hours denounced Emma. Jeremy Corbyn MP told Vanessa Feltz, " I will speak to Emma about language" He failed to say anything about that violent image of Shaun being hanged. Corbyn even received a complaint from two Black Tory MP's and still saved her. Diane Abbott MP supported Emma. Emma later said that Diane accepted it was someone else's racism.
Emma should have said soemthing along the lines , I accept that I was acting in a racist way and I unreservedly apologise. My position as a Labour MP is now untenable and I shall resign as an MP so that Kensington may choose another person. I promise to be a better person and will drop the politics of the bear pit and never attack another person for what they are.
She could have even added that the concepts of "race" and "racism" are social constructs. Many people have had racist or homophobic thoughts at some time in their iives but they learn to deal with them. I will see if the Labour Party has any courses to help me improve.
The epilogue is right save for one omision. It would have been a personal tragedy for Emma to have resigned so soon after getting in but that is what a decent person would have done.
This is all water under the bridge . She is gone so lets drop it . Far more useful to look into the more recent dealings of those who have actually got onto the long list .
I think it is right that the Dame allowed Hornets some valediction of Emma Dent Coad; painful as it is for 20.57 above. She hasn't actually "gone" until she resigns as Leader of the Opposition Group on the Council and tenders her resignation as a Councillor in St. Helen's Ward.
Emma thinks there is a Stalinist purge of people like her on the hard left of the Labour Party being undertaken which has denied her the opportunity to stand for election as an MP. Emma has been denied the opportunity to stand because she has had two brushes with racism: one with a Black Person and the other with every Jewish person in the world. It seems that her friends in the Socialist Campaign Group have a very high opinion of people with very nasty views.
At the Labour Party conference a few years ago, Jeremy Corbyn MP told the conference about the disgusting abuse and insults that Diane Abbott MP received through various electronic platforms. Corbyn stated no other person received abuse on the scale that Diane did. He did not mention the way that Luciana Berger MP was being unacceptably and repeatedly abused by some left wingers because she is Jewish which, is every bit as hurtful to Luciana as the anti- black abuse is to Diane. I am sure that Diane Abbott MP, Rishi Sunak MP Shaun Bailey AM and Luciana Berger all agree with me.
Now Emma Dent Coad, that self- proclaimed "proud anti-racist campaigner," was just as bad to Shaun Bailey AM as the facists scum are to Diane Abbott MP. Emma insulted Shaun for the very same reason that right wing facist scumbags insult Diane.
The circle that Corbyn, and fellow marxists, cannot square is why was Emma allowed to sit in parliament in a party that believes in racial equality when her values are at odds with racial equality - because she is so left wing and on the side of Corbyn. How unprincipled! Are Corbyn and the SCG saying that it is OK to abuse a Black person for being Black just because they are right wing?
It's all about her "values." Diane Abbott, Emma's mate, has made racist remarks repeatedly about White People. Why is she not barred? Why is she fire-proof?
"Taxi for Coad" has a point. She is now considered unsuitable to hold the office of Member of Parliament (Labour) because of her racism. If she is unacceptable for parliamentary office, it follows that she cannot be a Labour Councillor any longer.
Why hasn't the Labour Party given her, her marching orders?
There plenty of socialists who are not racist or antisemitic. She embarrasses Sir Keir and is not up to much. Nothing Stalinist about expelling someone with her values; even if Corbyn likes her.
Hornets have asked Emma Dent Coad to condemn Corbyn, the apologist for Putin, for suggesting that the existence of NATO is responsible for Putin's invasion of Ukraine. A right thinking person with any decency would have spoken out. Abbott et al all withdrew their support for Corbyn's position when they were threatened with expulsion from Labour.
To be precise, the figure of 151 includes those who have commented, some of whom have done so multiple times. Therefore the ‘official’ number of people who have viewed the page is likely to be far fewer than 151, The Dame estimates the correct figure to be roughly 30 - 35.
The Steeple Times described Emma as a "pro- Brexiteer charlatan." She has always been a very mixed up lady. Marxist with Corbyn, anti-racist with Abbott, "cuddly" with Grenfell people but, according to the Steeple Times, even Grenfell "turned on her" for not doing what they wanted her to do.
EDC would have us all believe that, in 1975, she voted to stay in the Common Market in the Referendum.
BUT THINGS WERE DIFFERENT THEN. Margaret Thatcher voted to stay in the Common Market in 1975 and within ten years turned in to a eurosceptic.
Tony Benn and Dennis Skinner wanted out in 1975. The hard left in Labour and the marxist left wanted out because the Common Market was all about propping up a capitalist system. The Workers needed ownership and control of the means of production not sops from a bourgeois economic club. Comrade Corbyn only softened his position when the vote came round in 2016. Emma is hard left, was she out of sync with others?

ReplyDeletePinned down, presumably.
DeleteWTF are you on about?
DeleteYou should ask him what he gets up to once he’s done with the banking job during the day and hangs out with a certain crowd during the night ;)
DeleteTiffin at Claridges with Guido and Tom.
DeleteNonsense. Give some evidence

DeleteI heard that Emma used her daughter, Connie Blott, to adversely affect Ian's re-selection as a Labour candidate in Colville Ward. Democratic, but others will judge what she was up to.
ReplyDeleteI wish Judith Blakeman would spill to the Dame.
The knives were out for Ian when he his destabilisation in Colville Ward was devised. I did not know that Connie Blott was implicated.
DeleteAs Emma ratcheted up her campaign to see off Ian, her lot banned Ian Henderson from attending a meeting of Kensington Labour just because he lived in Chelsea. He had attended Kensington Labour meetings on countless other occasions but when the knives were out....
ReplyDeleteIt may be the Party's Rules but others will judge her motivations.
I heard that they also barred Robert Atkinson from meetings of Kensington Labour. If I did not know better, I might think that Poll Pot was running the place.
DeleteRobert Atkinson was not barred from any meeting. He was always free to attend as an elected Cllr in Notting Dale. He is however a massive Tory looking for a nest egg to sustain him in his later years, and managed to last very long under the guise of being a ‘Labour’ Cllr. Now that it’s game over his social media activity has shown just how much he cosies up to Moylan and the rest of them.
DeleteYes ,he was banned from Kensington All Members meetings for 3 years because he lived in Chelsea.
DeleteWhat about liars who were born in Stepney but claim to be born in North Kensington?
DeleteI think Kensington Labour needs to look a little closer to home to see who the real Tory Colluders are..one a standing Councillor and PPC.
DeleteEDC has never claimed to be born in North Kensington. She’s always stated she was born in East London and grew up in Chelsea. Moving to north Ken in the 80s. Clearly stated in her maiden speech as MP.
DeleteLook at her Labour nomination video “Born and bred in kensington”. Don’t see where she mentions moving here from East London. How many people who have watched her maiden speech? Lot more lies spread on her Twitter
Delete"The constituency is my DNA" is what the Dent Coad woman said in her maiden speech to Parliament. If only that were true.
DeleteShe referred to being brought up in Chelsea ON NUMEROUS OTHER OCCASIONS giving the impression that she was actually born there. She certainly implied it with her tone and body language. She let it be known that her first husband was Sir Hadley D'Oyly. Cheps called "Hadley D'Oyly" don't belong in STEPNEY. All that shit about Columbus, Perceval, and the Borgias worked well with her Chelsea born and bred image.
She never mentions Stepney in her election video.
DeleteEconomical with the actualite is our Emma.
DeleteHer Place of Birth is a problem for her.
Blaming a Black woman for racism that she passed on with relish. A likely story
Emma's campaign against Ian gained momentum.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing Momentum likes more than to f*ck with Labour's bureaucratic rule book for its left wing ends.
Her dead campaign consists of endorsements from her local cranks. Can’t get her SCG friends to support her, they know they don’t want to be seen with a racist.
DeleteAnd an Anti-Semite.
DeleteShe was so confident when she "liked" that antisemitic social media feed. The Nazis blamed the Jews for everything and Dent Coad supported an SCG anti semite who made a similar claim - that the State of Israel brought shame on every Jewish person.
DeleteOli Jacobs
Her casual apology for this racist view was not good enough. Emma's been looking at this (after her anti Jewishness was called out) and apologises.
She had to be on message with antisemitic Corbyn
Why has it taken Labour five years to deal with Emma Dent Coad's bad behaviour?
ReplyDeleteSo they don't want her in parliament. Fair do's. Is the next step her expulsion?
Why wasn't she disciplined and expelled when this came to light. I am Black and needed political representation when she was the MP. I did not approach her because of what she did.
DeleteGood point. Who were the enablers ?
DeleteHi 12.47,
DeleteJeremy Corbyn MP and Diane Abbott MP both postulated that Emma was not a racist. Since when did those two have the last word on what is, and what is not, racist.
That pair accepted that their political sister, Emma of the Socialist Campaign Group, was quoting some Black Grandma from North Kensington when she referred to Shaun Bailey AM as a "token ghetto boy" and a "scumbag." Those of us who thought differently were ignored when we argued that it was Emma, and not the Black Granny, who drew that appalling picture of Shaun being hung. Even if I buy the story about quotiong some unpleasant black woman, (and I don't buy it) Emma knew that those comments would appeal to every good racist. She drew that picture about twelve years ago and it has taken Labour all these years to do something to make her pay for what she did.
Poor Shaun Bailey. I cannot imagine how hurt and upset he must have been.
Shaun Bailey AM is too much of a gentleman to gloat at Emma's downfall. I hope a Hornet somewhere has made him aware of the Dame's coverage.
DeleteStephen Cowan doesn’t fit in in Kensington. He can stay in Fulham where his mafia style of leadership is much more suitably placed.
ReplyDeleteCowan might bring some decent, much needed, order and discipline to the Kensington Labour Party. We have had Corbyn style Trotskyist strategies for the last few years and that was just about the limit.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Cowan like when dealing with homophobia?
ReplyDeleteThe venom expressed by the above Tory scum shows that they really fear a socialist MP who, whatever her aristocratic roots, did put the majority ahead of the selfish rich minority that pollute our constituency. But fear not. The Stalinist purges undertaken by the snake starmer will ensure that no socialist candidate will ever threaten their cosy existence
ReplyDeleteThe Tories will welcome someone with a brain for once. Emma is a fake academic, a fake local, a fake architect, and a fake Labour member. That’s why she’s downing those bottles every evening to wash away the lies.
DeleteHi 19.43.
DeleteI am not a Tory and am not scum. Emma Dent Coad is a racist. She calls herself a "proud anti-racist" and exploits her association with Jeremy Corbyn MP to support this dishonest claim.
Arthur Pringle above says he cannot imagine how hurt and upset Shaun Bailey AM must have been when Emma did what she did. I am a proud gay man. I know what it is like to be abused for the way that I was born. I know how hatred of homosexuals led to me being queer bashed; being kicked along the street ending up in hospital. I think I know how Shaun Bailey felt when he was abused for being black.
Emma made a catastrophic mistake when she responded to Shaun Bailey's evidence of her nasty remarks and obnoxious picture of him swinging on a gallows.
ReplyDeleteShe was interviewed about it by Vanessa Feltz on BBC Radio London. She tried saying that she was just quoting the Black Grandmother and that Shaun Bailey had said far worse things about himself over the years. Vanessa Feltz made it clear that she was not entitled to pass on those remarks. There were several pregnant pauses from Emma as Vanessa pressed her and backed her in to a corner from which she could not retreat. Emma concluded, "IF Shaun is offended I apologise." Vanessa did not allow her to get away with this backhanded apology and said, very pointedly, "IF" and Emma then managed to say, " I apologise."
The backhanded apology impressed no one. She was not contrite and did herself no favours. Every caller to that programme for the next three hours denounced Emma. Jeremy Corbyn MP told Vanessa Feltz, " I will speak to Emma about language" He failed to say anything about that violent image of Shaun being hanged. Corbyn even received a complaint from two Black Tory MP's and still saved her. Diane Abbott MP supported Emma. Emma later said that Diane accepted it was someone else's racism.
Emma should have said soemthing along the lines , I accept that I was acting in a racist way and I unreservedly apologise. My position as a Labour MP is now untenable and I shall resign as an MP so that Kensington may choose another person. I promise to be a better person and will drop the politics of the bear pit and never attack another person for what they are.
She could have even added that the concepts of "race" and "racism" are social constructs. Many people have had racist or homophobic thoughts at some time in their iives but they learn to deal with them. I will see if the Labour Party has any courses to help me improve.
The epilogue is right save for one omision. It would have been a personal tragedy for Emma to have resigned so soon after getting in but that is what a decent person would have done.
ReplyDeleteThis is all water under the bridge . She is gone so lets drop it . Far more useful to look into the more recent dealings of those who have actually got onto the long list .
ReplyDeleteI think it is right that the Dame allowed Hornets some valediction of Emma Dent Coad; painful as it is for 20.57 above. She hasn't actually "gone" until she resigns as Leader of the Opposition Group on the Council and tenders her resignation as a Councillor in St. Helen's Ward.
DeleteHear hear. Starmer needs to purge them out
DeleteEmma thinks there is a Stalinist purge of people like her on the hard left of the Labour Party being undertaken which has denied her the opportunity to stand for election as an MP. Emma has been denied the opportunity to stand because she has had two brushes with racism: one with a Black Person and the other with every Jewish person in the world. It seems that her friends in the Socialist Campaign Group have a very high opinion of people with very nasty views.
DeleteRacism is alive and well in the Socialist Campaign Group.
DeleteNo civilised party could allow Emma to stand. Her values are inconsistent with racial equality.
DeleteGod help you in Kensington Labour if your name is Sammy Davis Jr.
DeleteAt the Labour Party conference a few years ago, Jeremy Corbyn MP told the conference about the disgusting abuse and insults that Diane Abbott MP received through various electronic platforms. Corbyn stated no other person received abuse on the scale that Diane did. He did not mention the way that Luciana Berger MP was being unacceptably and repeatedly abused by some left wingers because she is Jewish which, is every bit as hurtful to Luciana as the anti- black abuse is to Diane. I am sure that Diane Abbott MP, Rishi Sunak MP Shaun Bailey AM and Luciana Berger all agree with me.
DeleteNow Emma Dent Coad, that self- proclaimed "proud anti-racist campaigner," was just as bad to Shaun Bailey AM as the facists scum are to Diane Abbott MP. Emma insulted Shaun for the very same reason that right wing facist scumbags insult Diane.
The circle that Corbyn, and fellow marxists, cannot square is why was Emma allowed to sit in parliament in a party that believes in racial equality when her values are at odds with racial equality - because she is so left wing and on the side of Corbyn. How unprincipled! Are Corbyn and the SCG saying that it is OK to abuse a Black person for being Black just because they are right wing?
The circle that Keir Starmer refuses to square.
Is she taking her Party to Court for barring her?
DeleteHer personal conduct is inconsistent with the values of the Labour Party and the wider Labour Movement.
DeleteIt's all about her "values." Diane Abbott, Emma's mate, has made racist remarks repeatedly about White People. Why is she not barred? Why is she fire-proof?
DeleteWhy are the racists Corbyn, Abbott and Dent Coad still in the Labour Party?
DeleteTaxi for Coad.
ReplyDelete"Taxi for Coad" has a point. She is now considered unsuitable to hold the office of Member of Parliament (Labour) because of her racism. If she is unacceptable for parliamentary office, it follows that she cannot be a Labour Councillor any longer.
DeleteAnd Anti-Semitism.
DeleteWhy hasn't the Labour Party given her, her marching orders?
DeleteThere plenty of socialists who are not racist or antisemitic. She embarrasses Sir Keir and is not up to much. Nothing Stalinist about expelling someone with her values; even if Corbyn likes her.
Is the Kenisngton Labour Party scared of her? Is that why she has not been booted out?
DeleteAll scared of retribution.
DeleteHornets have asked Emma Dent Coad to condemn Corbyn, the apologist for Putin, for suggesting that the existence of NATO is responsible for Putin's invasion of Ukraine. A right thinking person with any decency would have spoken out. Abbott et al all withdrew their support for Corbyn's position when they were threatened with expulsion from Labour.
DeleteBy "retribution" do you mean more pictures of unpleasant things being done to people who do not toe the line?
DeleteI do mean that.
DeleteAnd generally passive aggressive behaviour from the 'victim' to anyone who said anything against the 'rulers' of North ( Korea) Kensington
DeleteTruss and Coad to start a new ' its all their fault party' .
ReplyDeleteDear Dame,
DeleteWould you please tell us how many views this page has had since it went live?
I can confirm this page has had 151 views since it went live.
DeleteThank you, Dame. 126 comments plus 151 views.
DeleteShe's done like a dinner.
To be precise, the figure of 151 includes those who have commented, some of whom have done so multiple times. Therefore the ‘official’ number of people who have viewed the page is likely to be far fewer than 151, The Dame estimates the correct figure to be roughly 30 - 35.
DeleteOh, how disappointing.
DeleteThe Steeple Times described Emma as a "pro- Brexiteer charlatan." She has always been a very mixed up lady. Marxist with Corbyn, anti-racist with Abbott, "cuddly" with Grenfell people but, according to the Steeple Times, even Grenfell "turned on her" for not doing what they wanted her to do.
ReplyDeleteEDC would have us all believe that, in 1975, she voted to stay in the Common Market in the Referendum.
ReplyDeleteBUT THINGS WERE DIFFERENT THEN.
Margaret Thatcher voted to stay in the Common Market in 1975 and within ten years turned in to a eurosceptic.
Tony Benn and Dennis Skinner wanted out in 1975. The hard left in Labour and the marxist left wanted out because the Common Market was all about propping up a capitalist system. The Workers needed ownership and control of the means of production not sops from a bourgeois economic club. Comrade Corbyn only softened his position when the vote came round in 2016. Emma is hard left, was she out of sync with others?
