Lee Anderson vs Mayor of London

[Burrell Road Loco]

Folks,

Just wondered what farmers views are regarding Lee Anderson’s recent ‘racist comments’?
May I respectfully suggest you watch this clip and hear what was ACTUALLY said before forming an opinion.

TalkTV “we are entitled to criticise Sadiq Khan regardless of his religion”

Looking forward to your responses.

Awful comments by Lee Anderson

Sounds like Lee was saying it as he sees it rare thing nowadays from people in power .

 

[HatsOff]

It was a demonstrably untrue thing to say and it's a bit pathetic that he thinks owning up to a mistake is a sign of weakness.

This is the same clown who resigned from government to vote against them, then left the noes lobby before the vote because people were giggling at him.

The Conservative party doesn't/shouldn't need racist provocateurs like Anderson.

Looks like he might join reform uk

Islam is a religion not a race. So would he not be a "sectarian provocateur"?

A while ago plenty of people were claiming that a protestant party from NI were in control of the Tory party trying to get Brexit through, plenty in this forum claim that a pig could stand in some constituencies and get elected due to white middle class voters. How many times was Corbyn said to be controlled by the Russians or even Boris being paid by them to push leave during the referendum?Now every time these claims are made the person making them isn't criticised or condemned for being racist or fascist, I thought we had free speech in this country, obviously not . It makes no difference whether he was right or wrong, all he said was SK was being controlled by a particular group of people, is a sitting MP now not allowed to have an opinion?

It is a statement of fact that the many in the British 'establishment' are fearful of criticising anything to do with Muslims and Islam. I think it unlikely that either Starmer or Khan are fully 'controlled' by Islamists - I have no doubt whatsoever that both they and others are influenced by Islamists.

Lee Anderson is not the brightest chap in Parliament, but what he has said is not hateful, nor is it incendiary, nor - in my learned opinion - does it amount to incitement. Anderson has spoken as he sees it and I ask any who are critical of him to speak to any Jewish people they know who live in London, and find out their opinions of Khan in his role as Police Commissioner.

This wasn't an attack by Anderson on Khan because he is brown, or because he is a Muslim, or because he is a dishonest and incompetent little turd, it was an attack on him - and Starmer - for having caved in to pressure from 'political Islam', and that accusation is irrefutable.

And I am very, very sorry to write that they aren't the only ones, Labour and the LDs and the SNP have overwhelmingly done so, but so have a great many Tories. This country is being influenced by a potentially violent minority of Muslims, who in turn have the connivance and generally passive support of most other Muslims here.

If any will argue that my last line there is over the top, I suggest they do some homework; go and find 'British' Muslims and just ask them one question: What would they choose, Radical Islam or no Islam in the UK?

@Burrell Road Loco well done for flagging up the point of listening to the whole quote from Anderson.

LA only voiced what many many millions already know.We are no better now than many alleged 3rd world nations,in fact probably worse.

If one was cynical Anderson's remarks gave the media an excuse to talk about "racism/extremism in the tory party" rather than the reality than the malign influence islamism has.

Ain't that the truth. You only have to look at the establishment's inability to rapidly get a grip on child grooming in Peterborough, Rochford, Rochdale, and Telford to see that. They were too frigging scared of telling the truth about who the perpetrators were.

The numbers of Muslims now living in the UK means the establishment has to cautious and appear to play fair. And brain dead idiots like Anderson shouting off have to be dealt with if you don't want the UK to end up having a rerun of the NI type troubles. The stable door on mass immigration failed to be shut many years ago and the clock can't turned back.

So Britons must now bow and cower to the demands of radical Islamists so that we don't upset them or kick off trouble?

As someone living in France you should already well know the problems that a sizeable Muslim population brings (Charlie Hebdo attack, Bastille Day mass murder, Bataclan theatre etc). As to NI type troubles, well, you're about two decades too late with the warning, as those who lived in London on the 7th July 2005 could tell you.

There are 3.8 million Muslims in the UK 6.7% of the population. There are 108,000 farmers. London has 1.3 million. If politicians aren't paying attention to them then they might lose some votes.

I don't think many Brits ( small racist minority excepted) would expect us to be anything than fair and reasonable, we are rapidly moving to a state where anyone white dare not say anything against anyone that isn't white, it matters not whether what is said is true or not, the more that situation increases the more people will become agitated by the state of the UK where white people feel second class citizens.

6.7% and growing, so over time they will have a greater and greater impact on UK politics. Eventually this will result in white ethnic brits being subjected to more and more islamist ideologies.
