Subject: RE: BS: UK Politics - Another Try
The state of what is happening to Johnson/Cummins/Patel's Britain is illustrated starkly in this mornings times

Just above an article headed "Johnson vows he'll 'stick with Prit, another reports that:
"300 active Tories have been accused of Islamophobia", including Councillors and advisors to the Prime Minister"
It names 'Boorish' Johnson as "making dehumanising and offensive comments about Muslim women"
Baroness Warsi, a former Party Chairwoman, said that "Islamophobia ran deep and wide among Conservatives" and accused the party leaders of "allowing it to fester"
These accusations have ben submitted to the Equality and Human Rights Commission by the Muslim Council   
Rather puts the Labour Party's criticism of Israel in the shade somewhat, methinks

On the same page it announces that a pay rise for MPs will boost salaries to over £80,000

As the song says, under the Tories:
"There's nothing surer
The rich get rich and the poor get poorer"

And there's more !
On page seven it is reported that:
After a raid by Counter-Terroism officers, a serving London police officer has been arrested because of his involvement with a Neo Nazi cell with links to right-wing terrorism
Last week, two extreme right wing groups were banned by Parliament

"The weeds are all around us and they're growing
It will soon be too late for the knife
If you leave them on the wind that around the world is blowing
You may pay for your silence with your life

So close your eyes, stop your ears
Close your mouth and never dare
And if it happens here they'll never come for you
Because they'll know you really didn't care
(Peggy Seeger - 'Song of Choice')

Not bad for a Murdoch right-wing bumwipe eh !!
