Public reaction to Johnson suggests widespread belief that Conservatives are a racist party
Racist and sexist: Let’s not forget that Boris Johnson has also been criticised for his attitude to women.
It is perfectly understandable that Tory MPs are supporting Boris Johnson’s bid to be prime minister because the Conservative Party is inherently racist – according to members of the public.
This Site’s articles after the SNP’s Commons leader, Ian Blackford, condemned Mr Johnson over racist remarks made in the past, stirred up a storm of responses on the social media – that speak for themselves:
“Tells us all we need to know that despite their pretence to care about racism they will happily elect a racist to try and keep them in power. Shameful-but totally in keeping with Tory values,” tweeted Peter Shearer.
“I believe the Tory Party’s base is as racist as those they vote into public office,” added ‘Cochis’.
‘Maryland’ suggested the reminder of the remarks would “potentially increase his vote. They are all in this together.”
Sue Lees: “Of course, they already knew he was a bigot and they condone it. No excuses, no justification, anyone who supports his sort of ideology are themselves complete arses.”
Louise Preston: “Of course they will still vote for him. Only interested in clinging into power and cabinet posts for themselves, couldn’t care less about anything else.”
‘Dot’ stated that Tories would vote for Mr Johnsons: “Everyday and twice on Sunday. Tory MPs are that craven.”
They may be voting for him twice today (Thursday, June 20), in fact.
“Yes they will,” agreed ‘AfterAtosAssessment. “It’s not an issue for those who vote the likes of Boris in over and over again.”
Michael Taylor: “Well after all the Tory party are and have always been racist.”
And according to Derrick Gaskin, “Most Conservative MPs are racist. #Islamaphobia”
That assertion may well be demonstrated by the results of the last two votes by Tory MPs today.
But Conservative Party members in the constituencies are watching – and may fear being tarred with the same “racism” brush that has touched so many of their MPs.
A vote for Mr Johnson is now being seen as a vote for racism. Will the Tory grassroots vote for racism?
UPDATE: Boris Johnson had 157 votes in the fourth round of the Tory leadership election which means more than half of the Conservative MPs in Parliament are now openly supporting his racism.

It’s a lot more than a ‘belief’. it’s demonstrably, factually, true.
Tories are inherently racist, always have been. Remember the odious Enoch Powell?
You have to feel a little compassion for the Tory members because they are faced with the equivalent of which incurable, fatal cancer they want to have….
