Dame,
If being very thick was a good entitlement for a political career Lee Anderson would be superbly well qualified.
His CV is scant....he claims to have been a miner yet there is no real evidence of that.
Even were it true so what?
Does he think that makes him some sort of working-class hero?
Apart from that he and his wife were long-time Labour councillors.... presumably living on their joint allowances.
Oh, and he was a volunteer at the Citizens Advice Bureau for 12 years.
One feels pity for victims having to listen to his dimwitted advice.
We all understand there is a serious issue with extreme Islam but a fool like Anderson is not the cure.
Reform UK should keep him at arm's length: he would be a liability and prove immaturity of judgment on the part of Richard Tice were he to be recruited.
"A serious issue with extreme Islam?"
ReplyDeleteAny form of extremism is dangerous including political extremism from the far right and the far left.
Lee Anderson is a nasty bigoted man.His contribution to modern conservatism is to tell Asylum Seekers to "fuck off back to France." He has now made racist, untrue, remarks about the Mayor of London that I will not dignify by repeating them.
The Tory Party showed Enoch Powell the door over his "rivers of blood speech" but the current Tory shower are only prepared to say that Lee Anderson is "wrong." It has taken the Tory Party a very long time to accept that racism towards people of colour is unacceptable, homophobia is unacceptable, and sexism is unacceptable (and by sexism I do not mean the ridiculous "Chairman" versus "Chair" crap which exercises those on the far left.) It seems that being Islamophobic is the last nasty taboo which remains acceptable to the Tory Party.
Jeremy Corbyn MP pandered to racists and indulged his far left, antisemitic mates' remarks and refused to shaft most of them. He is now a pariah in moderate Labour Party circles but a hero to the far left.
Rishi Sunak’s action to tackle Tory Islamophobia to talk up imaginary (or it’s the leader of this country’s fault) ‘mob rule’.
Delete04.20: On the "Chairman" versus "Chair" crap, Ann Widdecombe said,

Islam hates our values
Delete12.34: Your hate filled four words go against the UK's fundamental values ('our values') of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights.

DeleteThe failure to deal with Islamophobia on this website is disgraceful. To demand that the Dame tackles Islamophobia isn’t a demand for special treatment for Muslims, it’s a demand for equal treatment.
Yeah...Islam treats women and gays and other religions with dignity! Get this into your stupid vacuum of. a brain. There are no fucking Muslim democracies. It's a anti-democratic barbaric religion
DeleteThe Dame should take her responsibility to intervene against online hate speech. Intervention can be in the form of factual online counter speech or in ways to prevent the hateful speech. The Dame can prevent the hate rolling forward or continue to let it fester on her website.
Delete17:27 ‘vacuum for a brain’ - Most cite Turkey, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Mali, and Senegal as democracies. (Indonesia, with 196 million people, is the world’s largest Muslim nation). Other countries, such as Malaysia, Nigeria, and Iran, are nominally democratic, but to a greater or lesser extent lack many of the attributes of fully functioning democracies, such as protections for civil liberties and legitimate opposition parties. Most of the world’s 47 Muslim-majority nations conduct elections; some are relatively free and fair, some are not. In any case, elections alone do not make a country a democracy, according to most scholars.
DeleteIn all the Islamic 'democracies' you cite all have substantive issues with corrupt practice during elections. You have to be very stupid to believe they are Western style democracies. Islam is by its nature authoritarian....pushing women and gays about and banning alcohol. In Indonesia which you suggest is a democracy canings for adultery take place.
DeleteI believe Anderson started at the CAB as a volunteer and went on to work there for ten years.
ReplyDeleteEmma Dent Coad is on the far left. She is very ignorant about race issues including antisemitism. She even drew a picture of a Black man being hanged and posted it on-line. Jeremy Corbyn MP did not discipline her because she calls herself a "proud antiracist" even though the evidence suggests this claim is balderdash.
ReplyDeleteThe far left looks after its own racists. She was hopelessly devoted to Corbyn's brand of far left, extreme, politics. he had no principles when he saved her from the humiliation of being expelled.
No wonder Sir Keir Starmer MP did not want her standing as a Labour woman.
Mr Anderson shouldn’t have accused the Muslim London mayor of something that’s obviously not true and is simply a r***** smear about him and his religion.
ReplyDeleteWe all know that ‘London being effectively under sharia law’ is just a fantasy of the very dimwitted far-right.
DeleteSince they rebranded in 2021, Reform UK have fought 18 Parliamentary by-elections, their best placing has been 3rd and they have achieved an average vote share of just 3.8% (as of 21 February 2024). For some reason, they still gain much media attention.
ReplyDeleteLabour have been going for decades; Cons the same and Lib Dems too. Reform UK is doing F*****g well for a new boy on the block
Delete"Reform's disappointing performance in the Rochdale by-election shows that the party's leader Richard Tice isn't up to the job." The Spectator (1 March 24)
DeleteToo much hysteria:
ReplyDelete* Tory MP (now suspended) claimed London under the control of Islamists.
* Tory MP claims parts of London are the ‘Wild West’ https://road.cc/content/news/tory-mp-claims-pedicabs-have-turned-london-wild-west-307027
* Tory PM claims London (as part of Britain) moving to ‘mob rule’.
Oh dear, time to throw in the towel.
Let's put it this way. I feel safe going to the Indian parts of Wembley; I feel safe in Chinatown; I feel safe in Stanford Hill. I feel very unsafe and unwelcome in Muslim parts of East London: that is a fact
DeleteI feel … the Dame should exclude Islamophobes
DeleteLast night in Rochdale, Reform UK did poorly, finishing in sixth place with only 6.3% of the vote. A Reform UK source said the party had under-performed due to ‘logistics‘.
ReplyDeleteDimwit...Rochdale is an Islamist enclave that's why Reform got death threats
Delete‘Dimwit’ … it was a Reform UK source that said the party ‘under-performed’!
DeleteThickco...Not surprising it underperformed when most of the voters hate everything the UK stands for. That's why the Party underperformed.
Delete12:29 - At just over 6 per cent, the Reform UK share of the vote was two points adrift of what the Brexit Party recorded in the seat in 2019 – and was a long way short of the near 19 per cent Ukip won locally in the 2015 general election.
DeleteThick ex Conservative MP
ReplyDeleteLee would still have the Conservative whip, if only apologised for pushing the crude conspiracy about Khan

ReplyDeleteIf Emma Dent Coad is interested in continuing her parliamentary apprenticeship, she could apply to be George Galloway's Political Assistant. She could then stand in Kensington at the General Election as one of George's Followers. Emma and George would get on well with each other. AND, I agree with both of them about Palestine.
ReplyDeleteI think Emma would do well in George Galloway's Workers' Party. She was only an MP for a short time and has a lot to learn. Being a Councillor in a West London Town Hall is not a proper training for someone who strives to be left wing. I am sure George would welcome Emma with Trots with open arms.
DeleteBut would George want a pretentious Aristocrat in his socialist party. Now don't forget EDC's aristocratic lineage is the stuff of Medici, Columbus and the Borgias.
DeleteAsk yourself, who cares about EDC's aristocratic line?
She does, she told that Tory rag, The Daily Express all about it.
Galloway would have told EDC to drop the pretentious aristocratic bullish*t. No socialist should be thinking like that. Question- Does she know what socialism is?
DeleteThat one is no more aristocratic than I am.
DeleteBen Habib was rather luke-warm in his reaction to Lee Anderson’s defection. He said today: “I am circumspect about all Tory MPs…particularly Tory MPs who can’t express themselves clearly…I picked [Lee] up on this when he said Sadiq Khan is controlled by Islamists. Clearly Khan is not controlled by Islamists”.
