Suella Braverman is facing calls to resign as Home Secretary – or be pushed out – after The Times published an article in which she accused the police of left-wing bias.

But does she need to fear for her job when hard-right lunatics on the social media are rushing to support her?

The BBC has reported the issue as follows:

She claimed aggressive right-wing protesters were “rightly met with a stern response”, while “pro-Palestinian mobs” were “largely ignored”.

The article was not cleared by Downing Street and suggested changes to the text were not followed, No 10 said.

Some Tories have called for the home secretary to be sacked.

It comes ahead of a Pro-Palestinian march for a ceasefire in Gaza, which is due to take place in central London on Saturday.

It strikes This Writer as odd that – for example – the Metropolitan Police, which has been found to be institutionally racist, sexist and homophobic – all right-wing faults, should be accused of lefty bias.

But it seems to me that Braverman may have used her article, in advance of the Armistice Day march calling for peace in Gaza (which she opposes), to stir up her attack dogs.

Let’s have a look at what some of them have been saying (with relevant responses where possible):

Let’s have another response, covering the lockdown comment:

For clarity: Danny Kruger is a Conservative MP and his claims about the Armistice Day march are all false. It is not a march in sympathy with terrorism and it does not call for Israel to be dissolved. The only conclusion one should draw from his post is that he should be removed from Parliament as soon as possible.

The danger with this one is that Ms Wallersteiner may be seen to be inviting people to believe that everybody taking part in the peace marches have been calling for Jews to die and ripping down posters of Israeli hostages. In fact, the peace marches have all included substantial contingents of Jewish participants, and it seems highly unlikely that they would call for their fellow Jews to be killed.

Just to hammer the point home, let’s have another response to the same post:

I’m sure you get the gist by now; right-wing mouthpieces have come out in support of Braverman but nothing they say makes any sense.

Sadly, as some of the responses have pointed out, the cack-handed way the Armistice Day march has been handled by politicians like Braverman means hard-right-wing nutcases have organised themselves to converge on London and hold demonstrations of their own.

It seems they are determined to converge on the cenotaph that politicians, police and the media have said should be left alone as a mark of respect.

These are people who say they support Braverman’s point of view, remember.

Let’s see what happens on the day and lay any blame where it belongs afterwards.
