The Tories have a new leader ...

[ajohn]

New leader is ethnic minority, but other hand poss right wing.

C4 came up with views that have been expressed about her. 1st one was Thatcherite. No surprise there in terms of economics. Small state, low tax. Then she can have an argument in an empty room. Then a bit of a loose mouth.

Other bits that have come out.
She runs an X account. I haven't looked to see what she says but an inference that it would be best to get some one to run it for her.

She has been accused of bullying.

Rather strange comment. Maternity pay. It's wrong to collect taxation and then hand it to people for support in this area. A lot of taxation is handed out on support. Just what is the alternative - no mention of that.

She had said something about mentioning Tory mistakes and etc. Laura BBC interview. Same question asked in several ways. Answer not going to do that.

She stayed well away from policy during her campaign. That is probably what got her elected.

If Chemi is as pragmatic as some suggest she might well whip the torey faithfull back into the centre ground. I cant see what else she means by being “honest” with members. Unless Nige is going to be made deputy leader via the Lords

Center ground? Surely you jest! Don't let her colour blind you to the racist rhetoric.

She can bang on about asylum and still shift to the centre ground on economics. Labour has already started the heavy lifting on tax rises. As Woodie Allan said, I have principles and if you don't like them I have other principles. That probably applies to her.

Pretty sure Groucho Marx said that, but Badenough has no reason to move to the center while she can play the colour card and wind Labour up.

Ugly racism from Dawn Butler (Labour MP). Her comments go beyond "coconut" allegations. She seems to be implying Kemi is an "uncle Tom" white supremacy collaborator.

Labour MP Dawn Butler shares tweet linking Kemi Badenoch to 'white supremacy in blackface'

British-Nigerian author Nels Abbey said his original comments had been "clearly satirical" and "intended as a sketch". But some Tory politicians want Sir Keir Starmer to take action against Labour's Dawn Butler.

What about all these young men sitting around kicking their heels in Holiday Inns? Couldn't they earn their keep by bringing in the harvest?

Or are they all doctors and nuclear physicists?

It would be better if they could work.

The devil makes work for idle minds

She is probably correct

Racist parties love black leaders....legitimises their racism

 

[ReganAndCarter]

Jeez! The liberals on here have Two Tier's Labour government in power, a black very foreign secretary, a black leader of Tory party and STILL they're not happy.

Exactly how much diversity and inclusion does it take to make them satisfied? Would changing Chas for a muslim king do it???

Although this isn't what's happening, does the thought of minorities gaining more and more prominence and power frighten you? Whether referring just to politics or the wider socioeconomic world?

 

[ReganAndCarter]

Although this isn't what's happening,

Of course it is. muslim lord mayor of London, black Bristol mayor. Even Royal Family is multi-culti these days.

And how well did that work out??

 

[ReganAndCarter]

, does the thought of minorities gaining more and more prominence and power frighten you?

Yes it does, because it ALWAYS ends in disaster.

muslim London mayor - disaster
Black chancellor - disaster
Black member of Royal Family - disaster.
Black Foreign Secretary - disaster in the making.

Do you see a pattern forming here? Black leader of Tories will be no difference. More power and prominence - damn right I'm frightened.

But if you look through all of the last 14 years of my posts on here, I can say I have told you so.

Do you think the colour of any person is the real problem ?

It goes deeper than just colour. The elephant in the room is that they are just different in all ways. Just compare Africa to Europe.

Compare USA to Europe.

Russia to USA

Australia to Canada.

Colour isn't the issue
