Everything is fine. Nothing to see here.

I'm sure Ronnie will be on here shortly to agree wholeheartedly with us all how shameful this is.

Get your votes in now for:

1."Islamophobia isn't racism - Islam is a religion."

2. "Not as bad as anti-Semitism"

3. All of the above plus something ridiculously vague and speaking in metaphors about how bad Labour and socialism is - ignoring the problem with racism within another party.

We'll need some well-needed balance brought to us by life on mars too.

Surely Jon 1959 should have posted something supportive by now.

It's hard for some people to understand that anyone isn't politically tribal, isn't it ?
It seems that a certain IQ grouping attaches itself to a political party out of the same herd instinct which is seen in prey species, and they cannot grasp the idea that anyone could operate outside that system.

I've said many many times that I'm no more a conservative than I am a socialist or a Cornish Nationalist.
It's a very half arsed attempt therefore to try and counter objections to anti semitism by chucking stones at the conservatives, then name me as somehow connected to that.

You start a thread about islamophobia, but when we read it, there's little mention of that, just more anti semitism.

Maybe you're trying islamophobia in the Conservative party as a new excuse because the one about Zionism is wearing thin ?

Yes all of that and ...."when I was a top class lawyer for the Shah of Persia, his personal bodyguard, mentor, closest confidante and Master of his Golden Harem, Islamophobia wasn't even thought of". It's a made up word by liberal leftys'

Three people arguing with each other about nothing except what they said themselves ,but somehow targeting someone else. Nothing to do with anti semitism is it ?

Very very nasty, but here's the answer

Racism is a shameful act ,those caught shoukd be sacked, lets hope we have an equal playing field of naming and shaming racism , Islamophobia, antisemitism.

I await the cross party reported incidents.

Yep agreed but the media only report on anti semitism. There is never any coverage of Islamophobia within the Tory party.

I heard this reported on BBC and LBC?

It has barely received any coverage at all compared to the hammering Labour have taken over anti semitism. Baroness Warsi says it is spread right throughout the Tory party yet where is the coverage in the media? I would add that anti semitism is also rife in the Tory membership but again it’s ignored.
