Labour is a party driven by bigotry
WHAT would you say about someone who called a black man a “token ghetto boy” and added that he would not be welcome in your neighbourhood? You wouldn’t think well of them, would you? And the person who actually wrote that? It was Labour MP Emma Dent Coad. In a blog written in April 2010 she threw everything she could at Shaun Bailey, the then Tory candidate for Hammersmith, who is black, adding for good measure that a “former neighbour” who strangely enough was not identified called him a “freeloading scumbag”. There have been calls for Jeremy Corbyn to suspend her. Needless to say he hasn’t and she retains the Labour whip.
Dent Toad is now claiming that she was quoting other people’s views and not her own but can you even begin to imagine what Labour would have said had these words been spoken by a Tory MP? Not that they would have needed to say anything because Tory high command would have drummed him or her out so fast their feet wouldn’t have touched the ground.
But in today’s Labour Party this is the sort of language that passes muster, along with Dent Toad’s insulting various members of the Royal Family and attempting to make political capital out of the Grenfell Tower tragedy. She is a ghastly and vile woman but she is far from being alone. The Labour Party also houses such charmers as Jared O’Mara, who was recently exposed as using the most grotesque language about women and gays. He has been suspended but Labour acted only after an outcry.
And this is also the Labour Party that contains Nasreen Khan, an activist who wants to become an MP. Take a look at what she said five years ago: “It’s such a shame that the history teachers in our school never taught us this but they are the first to start brainwashing us and our children into thinking the bad guy was Hitler. What have the Jews done good in this world?”
Yup, she actually said that. She says she regrets it now – as they all do when their foul anti-Semitic, racist, sexist ravings are found out. The stench coming from that party grows by the day.
MEN IN LADIES’ CHANGING ROOMS
THERE has been an interesting development in the “discussion”, if all the hysterical screaming can be called that, about transgender issues. A growing number of women are expressing alarm about allowing men in full possession of a set of male organs into previously women-only spaces such as changing rooms and ladies’ loos. The men of course are having none of it, yelling about their right to identify as females and do what they like, which is rather ironic in the circumstances. Isn’t this yet more proof of male entitlement in a slightly different form?
