Lee Anderson’s latest nonsense is destroyed in one tweet

Lee Anderson (right), with his hero.

The Leeanderthal has struck again!

Death-penalty-demanding Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson is already known to have lied in a video ostensibly showing him persuading a voter to abandon their allegiance to another party and vote for him and the Conservatives (in reality, it was a personal friend who was going to vote for Anderson anyway).

Here are a few more of his personal gaffes, but we’re concentrating on dishonesty for now.

Now he has taken to Twitter to put up a few amazing assertions that Russ ‘The Week In Tory’ Jones took apart in just 35 words.

Anderson wrote: “In the 70s working 7 days a week down t’pit my dad grew veg and kept chickens in our garden. That was our foodbank.”

Mr Jones responded as follows:

Of course, it’s possible to argue that Anderson’s dad didn’t live in a council house, or that it was possible to keep chickens and grow vegetables in whatever garden was available, depending on the rules of the council that owned the house.

But…

This is ’30p Lee’ tweeting this stuff. Without proof either way, our logical reaction has to be that it is nonsense. And he shouldn’t be bringing his dad into his political rants.

Culture Sec ‘Mad Nad’ Dorries says BBC is riddled with nepotism. So is she…

Mad Nad: she had a swipe at people with learning difficulties a while ago. Considering this latest faux pas, it seems she hasn’t learned her lesson yet. [Image: The Prole Star.]

Bumblewitted mophead Boris Johnson really doesn’t know how to pick ’em.

His choice of Culture Secretary has been set the task of talking down the BBC, turning our minds against it.

Here’s her attack line:

Nadine Dorries has labelled the BBC an institution riven by bias and staffed by people “whose mum and dad worked there”.

“We’re having a discussion about how the BBC can become more representative of the people who pay the licence fee, and how it can be more accessible to people from all backgrounds, not just people whose mum and dad worked there.”

What a hypocrite:

If the BBC really is chock-full of dynasties – the Dimblebys leap to mind straight away – then it certainly should change.

But by having Dorries say it, Johnson has merely drawn attention to the fact that the Conservative government is definitely riddled with nepotism.

Before attacking the BBC, the government should clean up its own act. Right?

Patel’s policies would deport her own mother. Why believe her when she says Johnson isn’t racist?

Priti Patel: there will be no aid in the UK for people of colour while she is Home Secretary, it seems – unless they’re rich.

Is Priti Patel a person of colour who hates her own race?

The evidence seems to indicate this.

Consider the reaction to rapper Dave’s decision to change the lyrics to his song Black at the Brit Awards. He sang – well, hear for yourself what he sang:

Some commentators – like those at Spiked – criticised the performance, but were shot down by others. Look at this from Twitter:

And some, like LBC’s James O’Brien, considered it to be a diversion from the debate about Dave’s subject matter – racism in the Tory government – because it gave people an opportunity to talk about Dave instead:

Fortunately Ms Patel was on hand to drag the discuss right back to the fact that her government – and indeed her own actions – are as racist as the prime minister himself.

The Home Secretary, who recently tried to deport 50 people (and succeeded in removing 17) based on spurious claims that they were criminals (all had already paid their debt to society; their only crime, it seemed, was that they are not white), defended Mr Johnson:

“I work with the prime minister, I know Boris Johnson very well, no way is he a racist, so I think that is a completely wrong comment and it’s the wrong assertion to make against our prime minister.”

But Ms Patel went on to unveil another racist policy on the same day.

The plan is to refuse entry to the UK for any EU immigrants who aren’t coming to a job that pays at least £25,600. This means so-called “low-skilled” people will no longer be allowed into the country.

Critics have already attacked that equation of low pay with low skill – and This Writer can certainly support them in that. I never had a job that paid £25,600 in all the time I was employed by various newspaper firms and I’m sure most reporters still don’t receive that much.

Worse still, for Ms Patel, is the fact that – under these proposals – her own parents would have been refused access to the UK and she would never have been able to join the Conservatives to become the Home Secretary proposing them.

She had to concede the point in an interview with LBC’s Nick Ferrari. As it happens, I have also been interviewed by Ferrari. He was attacking me over lies that had been printed about me, so I was able to point out that the claims were false.

Ms Patel was not in the same position and had to admit that he was right. And look how she justified it:

“The policies are changing. This is the point. We are changing our immigration policy to one that’s fit for purpose for our economy, based on skills.”

But she isn’t.

As already stated, there are plenty of high-skilled people on low wages. There also happen to be plenty of complete numbskulls on astronomically high pay – racist Ms Patel and her racist prime minister are two of them.

She tried to point out that her parents came to the UK because they were fleeing Idi Amin’s mass expulsion of Ugandan Asians in 1972, and said they would have been allowed entry as refugees.

But it seems she was lying: it seems her parents arrived in the UK in the 1960s. She herself was born in London in 1972, which suggests that her parents’ immigration into the UK was nothing to do with Amin’s persecution.

Also:

The UK’s current Tory government has also sent refugees back to their countries of origin, where some have faced persecution and even death.

So the evidence seems clear.

Who, then, will believe a word when a racist defends a racist?
