Neil Coyle is back in Labour. Is the party trying to attract the racist vote?

At last, TORIES are attacking Braverman’s ‘racist rhetoric’

Suella Braverman and Rishi Sunak: they were all smiles in this shot but one wonders how they would look in a future meeting.

It seems the last straw for Suella Braverman may have been a ‘golliwog’ doll.

The Home Secretary has been reviled by people on all sides – including her own – after she criticised police for removing the racially-discriminatory dolls from an Essex pub after the landlord sent online messages, apparently joking about Mississippi lynchings alongside an image of them.

From her own party, several people have put their heads over the parapet to criticise, with a large proportion suggesting it was a deliberate attempt to appeal to Conservative party members in case the Tories lose the next election and hold another leadership contest.

Let’s count her Tory critics. Here’s one:

A former senior minister from Boris Johnson’s government told the Guardian they believed Braverman was a “real racist bigot”.

The person said “the country is not as grotesque as she makes it out to be”, warning that the “Conservative reputation on discrimination has dropped to a new low” under her watch – “which also gives the country a bad name”.

“Suella’s comments pander to the unpleasant base instinct of a small section of the British population,” the former minister said.

“She’s not stupid, she believes she has a licence to say these things because she’s not white. But all her language does is exacerbate hatred.”

Here’s another:

Another senior Tory said: “The politics of this leadership plan stink.”

Here’s Tobias Ellwood, who actually had the guts to allow himself to be named:

“These comments – arguably designed to appeal to a specific political cohort – do not sit well with the new, pragmatic and cooperative approach which the prime minister is now injecting into Number 10 and is seeing us improve in the polls.”

And here’s Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, a former Tory chair, who has long campaigned against racism in her own party:

“Whether this consistent use of racist rhetoric is strategy or incompetence… doesn’t matter. Both show she is not fit to hold high office.”

Earlier this week, Warsi told LBC: “I think the prime minister has to get a really strong message that this kind of rhetoric, whether it’s on small boats, whether it’s the stuff she was saying on the weekend which is not based on evidence, not nuanced, not kind of explanatory in any way, it has got to stop.

“And you know, again today, we’ve woken up to a story where she’s having a go at the police for removing golliwog dolls from a pub.”

Will Rishi Sunak act to silence or remove this liability? Or is he “insecure in his own ability”, as one of the Tories above suggested?

All we know is that this situation can’t go on. Sunak has to do something. But what?

Suella Braverman’s careless talk is provoking racism

Hate speech: Suella Braverman.

To recap: first, Suella Braverman told us “vulnerable white girls are being targeted by British Pakistani grooming gangs”:

Home Secretary @SuellaBraverman says 'vulnerable white girls are being targeted by British Pakistani grooming gangs', and people have been 'turning a blind eye out of political correctness'.#Ridge https://t.co/ZoMhCmTrtv

— Sophy Ridge on Sunday & The Take (@RidgeOnSunday) April 2, 2023

She was proved wrong by government statistics (most grooming gangs are composed of white English men), as I showed here.

As if to hammer the point home, a gang of 21 white English people have been convicted of child sex offences, as reported yesterday (April 5, 2023).

But the damage has been done. British Pakistani people are being targeted for hate – including broadcaster Adil Ray, as he made clear on Good Morning Britain:

Adil Ray on #GMB this morning talking about the racist abuse directed at him since Suella Bravermans comments.

This Site has already commented on possible hate crime in a Jewish Chronicle article containing words that appeared likely to incite hate against particular groups – and seem to have done so.

There seems to be a strong case that Braverman has committed exactly the same crime – speaking of a particular group in a way not only likely to incite hate against it but that appears actually to have done so.

Mr Ray should file a complaint with the police – as should any other British Pakistani people who have been similarly maligned since Braverman spoke.

Met Police has lost public trust; it is sexist, racist and homophobic

Police: even in the illustration it seems the policeman is mistreating the policewoman.

The verdict is out on the Metropolitan Police – and it couldn’t be more damning.

The force is institutionally racist, sexist and homophobic – to the point where rape might as well be legal in London, according to a report, that took a year to prepare, by Baroness Casey.

Here’s the gist:

Shall we go a bit further into how the Met has failed women in particular?

Analysis by the BBC states,

This report is so ferocious in its criticism that, in the short term, it is almost certain that trust and confidence levels in the police in London – already down – will plummet further.

With forces across England and Wales, like the Met, re-vetting all their officers, more scandals will emerge.

Every misconduct hearing, every court case, is going to damage public confidence.

A generation after the Macpherson report found the Metropolitan Police to be institutionally racist, here we are again. Only worse. Sexism and homophobia are added to the list.

It asks what the solution could be. After all, the situation could hardly be said to have been different in 1972, when then newly-appointed commissioner Sir Robert Mark said he had “never experienced…blindness, arrogance and prejudice on anything like the scale accepted as routine in the Met”.

Current Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley says he needs patience to achieve the turnabout required. Baroness Casey has suggested the Met could be broken up, if things don’t approve.

The situation at the Met proves only one thing: Power corrupts.

And with Suella Braverman as the politician responsible for imposing lasting change, isn’t it more likely that the corruption in the Met will become absolute?

Are racists really welcome in Keir Starmer’s Labour Party?

Is this the only flag that Keir Starmer likes? If so, and he’s a “Britain for the British” guy, then that’s a pretty big indicator that he might be a racist, right there.

The trouble with Keir Starmer is that it is easy to see the people railing against the use of Palestinian flags to register support for the people there as potential, if not actual, members of his Labour Party.

In one tweet below, after a person states that getting Jeremy Corbyn as his local MP is more important to him than getting the Conservatives out of office, a respondent draws attention to the flag of Palestine next to his name and states, “The Palestinian flag says it all.”

Well, no. It doesn’t say anything about the Corbyn supporter apart from that he wants an end to the persecution of the people of that country.

In fact it says more about the respondent, who clearly supports the persecution of the people of Palestine and is therefore a racist.

In the other tweet, a Jewish man comments on his wife giving him a kippah (skull cap) in the colours of the Palestinian flag, and the same respondent as before asks, “Why not ask her to get you a swastika one as well?” That’s likening Palestinians with Nazis, which may again be construed as racist, for what I hope are obvious reasons.

The same respondent was then shown to have tweeted a message about what a pleasure it was to meet Labour leader Keir Starmer, at a Jewish Labour Movement Chanukah party, thanking him for providing a reason to rejoin Labour and saying what a pleasure it is to be “back home”.

Hey @Keir_Starmer,

Why do you and your supporters have a "blind spot" when it comes to #Islamophobia? https://t.co/wg2vDB79fM

— Alistair Greaves (@AlistairGreaves) March 5, 2023

Starmer has been expelling Jews faster than any other Labour leader. But this individual is safe, it seems.

Is it because he is an anti-Palestinian racist?

And if you think I’m exaggerating, take a look at the tweet below, showing evidence of Israel’s persecution of Palestine.

And who’s it from?

“The wrong kind of Jew”.

Are you getting any of this @Keir_Starmer , looks like the wrong type of Jews, are actually to correct Jews. Or are you going to keep backing and supporting a Zionist fascist apartheid state?

Yours life long labour voter, till it turned out I’m the wrong type of Jew. https://t.co/aBftkuSMKb

— #MariamaKallon Woodrow #EnoughIsEnough (@DjelliBelli) March 5, 2023

This is what makes it hard to support the Labour Party under Keir Starmer and his cronies.

They look like racists, act like racists and attract racists.

What does that make them?

The Tories are lurching into far-right politics to keep their voter base – racists and bigots

Border Force: immigration is likely to become an even more pressing public issue in the future, despite Rishi Sunak’s plan to strengthen the UK’s ability to foil illegal channel crossings. Is this because the Tories see it as a way back to power after losing the next general election?

A poll reproduced on the Mainly Macro blog shows that 56 per cent of the UK’s population now believe Brexit was a bad idea, compared with only 32 per cent who support it.

Why is the Conservative government still slavishly pushing the falsehood that Brexit was ever going to do us some good, then?

The answer should be obvious: it was a huge fantasy for right-wing, racist flag-shaggers who wanted to get rid of Johnny and Janey Foreigner and thought that saying we would all be better-off was a great way of getting it.

When the Brexit-supporting political parties started cropping up – most notably Nigel Farage’s UKIP – they drained off support that the Tories wanted to keep for themselves.

The only answer they saw was to support leaving the EU and hope that this would draw the headbangers back into the fold.

And it did – albeit with the help of the strongest Brexiteer party in the 2019 elections, that withdrew its candidates from standing in constituencies where the Conservatives had safe seats. Remember that?

But support for Boris Johnson’s ‘hard’ Brexit deal is now becoming an electoral liability for the Tories. Public opinion is shifting away from supporting Brexit, and from fearing the consequences if it is modified.

The costs of Brexit have become so obvious that the broadcast media now feel compelled to start talking about them and the message is that Brexit has reduced living standards and held the economy back.

This means that support for Brexit will be associated with a party that wants to keep the UK poorer.

And that’s a huge relief for This Writer, because I have been saying the same for years!

According to Mainly Macro, it is unlikely that public opinion will have changed enough for a Brexit-opposing party to take power – which is why Labour still supports the policy at the moment.

But this is likely to change during the time that Labour is in office (as still seems a certainty after the next general election).

Where does this leave the Tories?

According to Mainly Macro (again), it leaves them to take a hard line on immigration.

It is the most potent issue among potential Conservative voters, therefore newspaper stories about immigration or asylum-seekers are likely to proliferate in the Tory press under a Labour government.

This Writer is led to guess that this is the reason Rishi Sunak and his ministers have been announcing a series of unpopular and probably ineffective policies to tackle illegal immigration; by attacking the symptom and not the cause, they ensure that the problem remains when a Labour government takes over – and Labour may then be attacked over it.

This in turn may create an obstacle to any return to the EU Customs Union or the Single Market that Labour may plan.

The flag-shaggers, racists and bigots who support Brexit (remember them?) would see the Tories doing all they could to prevent a return to what they consider the bad old days of EU membership – with free movement of working people between countries, remember – and would commit their support to the Conservatives to ensure that it doesn’t happen.

… In theory.

So we see that current Tory policy on immigration is less likely to be about stopping foreigners from coming to the UK illegally, and more likely to be a grubby bid to find a pathway back to power.

Tory Mark Francois makes racial slur against Japanese people in Parliament

Is a delay in building a ship really a good reason to make a racist remark? Tory MP Mark Francois seems to think so.

Here he is in Parliament, doing just that:

The word that was bleeped out is “Japs” – a term often used to describe Japanese people in a derogatory way, for example during the Second World War. It has not been used in the House of Commons since the 1940s.

Francois reckons he didn’t mean any “disrespect or offence”, but that’s hardly the point. If anybody of Japanese ethnicity heard his speech and took offence, they would be entirely within their rights to do so.

He made his comment during Defence Questions on Monday (November 7). At the time, Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle didn’t condemn the language Francois used, nor did Defence Secretary Ben Wallace.

It was only in response to a point of order by Labour’s Sarah Owen that the Speaker said “the casual use of racial terms causes upset and should not be used” and asked MPs to choose their words “carefully”.

It’s not good enough.

Tories have been nurturing an atmosphere of division in the UK since they slithered back into office in 2010, and deepening racism has been a keystone of this.

Now, it seems, they feel comfortable enough to make racist remarks in the House of Commons itself.

Suella Braverman presents as a racist. Is Liz Truss really determined to keep her?

We need to talk about Suella.

This daughter of a Kenyan family who came to the UK as refugees has spoken of her “dream” to deport her family’s fellow refugees to an internment camp in Rwanda without conducting any checks on whether they deserve to remain in the UK or not.

If you can stomach it, you might be interested in watching her speech at the Conservative Party conference earlier in the week:

She has sparked a huge amount of commentary – of course:

Professor Tim Wilson points out: “We cannot deport people until our paperwork and theirs is properly processed. And hospitality to the disadvantaged runs through our civilisation. We ignore that at our peril. Yes, there will be cheats who take advantage of our goodness but we cannot allow them- the miscreants- to dictate our behaviour and our policy! I have difficulty understanding how this policy was conceived but I cannot understand how we can be represented by someone so callous and brutal that she DREAMS of such toxic brutality?”

Here’s his video comment:

Here’s Novara Media’s take on it:

It was discussed on the BBC’s Politics Live today (October 6):

Clearly the views put forward by this Parliamentarian are abhorrent to large numbers of people on all sides of the political spectrum.

Yet Liz Truss – who has admitted that she doesn’t mind being unpopular – is determined to keep Braverman in post to push through legislation that will make this inhumane (some might say inhuman) policy workable.

Truss also reversed her policy to scrap the 45p top rate of income tax because it was unpopular, though, so it seems we cannot trust her word.

Is she planning to pull the usual Tory trick – ditch the unpopular politician but keep the unpopular policy she champions?

Don’t be fooled by Starmer’s conference speech. Labour is now right-wing and deeply racist

This is just one of the many problems with Keir Starmer’s Labour. Read on for more.

People are raving about Keir Starmer’s keynote speech at the Labour Party conference. Why?

Have a gander at the highlights:

He made a lot of promises. But he breaks his promises, left, right and centre.

Nobody on the left should believe a word Starmer said today. This is a man who called Jeremy Corbyn a friend, eulogised about him during the leadership election, then kicked him out of the party to appease the pro-Israel lobby.

— Frank Owen's Legendary Paintbrush 🟨🟥🥀🇵🇸🇾🇪 (@WarmongerHodges) September 27, 2022

And his promises weren’t even that good. A new company called Great British Energy, that would be publicly-owned?

That’s not nationalisation. That’s capitalism.

Meanwhile, part three of Al Jazeera’s investigation into Labour Party corruption, The Labour Files, has been released on YouTube. Then it was set to ‘private’, presumably due to fears that Starmer and his cronies would take out a lawsuit of some kind. Then copies of it appeared elsewhere, like this one. It says it’s unavailable but if you click “Watch on Facebook” you should be able to see it:

Here’s the direct link, too: https://www.facebook.com/Labourheartlands/videos/792236845345375/?extid=CL-UNK-UNK-UNK-AN_GK0T-GK1C&ref=sharing

The promotional blurb states: “Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit reveals how a British political party that claims to embrace progressive values created a hierarchy of racism that discriminated against its Black, Asian and Muslim members.”

The documentary has created a groundswell of anger against the party:

No wonder @UKLabour wants to stop part 3 of the #LabourFiles . It’s sickening and disturbing that the party is so racist and islamophbic. The party in power is the far right party. No question about it. The question is what BAME and Muslim Community going to do about it.

— Solma Ahmed #betterworld (@solma_ahmed) September 27, 2022

Here’s an example of what the documentary showed:

Just watched a snippet of the Labour Files 3 on FB…The fact Peter Oborne points out a man was being followed and investigated along with his children/family by @UKLabour without permission was Against the Law should send shivers down your spine, who else did they investigate??

— Red Kaz #jft97 💙 #SaveTheNHSFromTheToryVultures (@kazzacoey) September 27, 2022

Labour has responded – but it seems that response is being held in doubt:

Labours response to @AJEnglish episode 3 states it has set up procedures to deal with harassment. I think we are all now clear of what that entails.

— Pamela Fitzpatrick (@PamelaFitzNWC) September 27, 2022

And still there is no interest from the mainstream media – particularly the BBC, whose Panorama strand ran a hugely controversial documentary about Labour and anti-Semitism in 2019. You may recall This Site’s series of articles debunking what it said (links here).

It seems there may be an agenda involved:

Excuse me @BBCNews (at 10) your reporter, Chris Mason, just said one of Starmer’s tasks was “getting rid of hostility towards Jewish people.” Could you give an example of this please because I believe it simply didn’t exist. #ItWasAScam

— Nick Pavlou (@eastnitty) September 27, 2022

Oh look #ItWasAScam https://t.co/6bMCgeENTL

— Nick Pavlou (@eastnitty) September 28, 2022

In the Spring of 2019 the U.K. faced a major constitutional crisis & political volatility off the charts. Into that vacuum @BBCPanorama broadcast an incredibly one-sided documentary on Labour. Why? Was it journalism? Or was it a political intervention? pic.twitter.com/o3CqmbJah4

— Aaron Bastani (@AaronBastani) September 27, 2022

Meanwhile, at the Labour conference, a ‘reference back’ referring to a vote at last year’s event, calling for the party to support action to end Israel’s continuing illegal actions against Palestinians, was lost under highly dubious circumstances:

Can you tell if I am correct in saying:

The conference unanimously voted in favour (hence hands up) of action to bring an end to Isreal's illegal actions against Palestinians – am I correct?

However, Angela Eagle said the vote was lost when it clearly was not – am I correct?

— Ramesh Patel – They Would Rather You Ignore This (@Imalright_Jack) September 27, 2022

And, of course, the purge of Jewish socialists who say “Not in my name” to all these machinations continues:

"If you're a Jewish socialist you're 200 times more likely, than anyone else, to be expelled from the Labour party for hatred of Jews. What kind of Kafkaesque bollocks is that?" – Alexi Sayle

— Greg Clinker (@GregClinker) September 26, 2022

The current case-in-point remains that of Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi, newly-elected as the only Jewish member of the party’s National Executive Committee, whose party membership was suspended in suspicious circumstances on the eve of the party conference.

Now Labour has gone further:

They've even taken Naomi's guest pass away. How on earth can you justify this, @Keir_Starmer , @UKLabour ?
This is blatant anti-Semitic discrimination. Hypocrites! pic.twitter.com/Vil0PxO6AW

— June Turnbull 🚩💙 (@socialist1959) September 26, 2022

So I’m sorry if you heard Starmer’s speech and thought Labour was coming back into the light; it isn’t.

Under Keir Starmer, that party has become a dangerous tool for racists and allies of a hostile foreign power.

It is not fit for government, and never will be while Starmer and his cronies – or their successors – are in control.
