Secret House of Lords circle ‘shown to have worked with far right’
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...y-within-house-of-lords-worked-with-far-right
A secretive organisation accused of collaborating with far-right activists has been operating out of the House of Lords for more than a decade, a cache of leaked documents suggests.
The organisation, called the New Issues Group (NIG), includes the former Ukip leader Malcolm Pearson and the Tory former deputy speaker of the House of Lords Baroness Cox.
The cache of documents, acquired by anti-fascist group Hope not Hate, even suggests that a figure who would become one of the UK’s most notorious anti-Muslim activists drafted questions to be asked in the House of Lords by group members.
Joe Mulhall, research director at Hope not Hate, described the existence of the secretive organisation as “pretty terrifying”. He added: “Our investigation found members of the House of Lords collaborating with far-right Islamophobes.”
Confirming the group’s existence, Cox denied that the NIG was anti-Muslim, saying it could “certainly not” be described in such a way.
Instead, she said, it was a “meeting of people who support the aims of my bill”, referring to a private member’s bill, first introduced in 2011, which aims to protect Muslim women in Britain from sharia law. “I have strong support from Muslim women,” she added.
Pearson added: “It would be wrong to describe it [the NIG] as anti-Muslim. Its main purpose has been and is to support Baroness Cox’s bill.”

Duh the Tories already solved this issue, just go and get a better and higher paying job.
They call it Blackpoo in the second to last paragraph.

Turd in a tortilla, nice...
Minimum marriage age to rise to 18. I don't follow politics like I used to but I don't recall seeing anything about this anywhere. When is a child a child and when not a child? I don't know, I must admit.

I am webbed up in this. It is a big beautiful mess. Benton's right hand man deselected a councillor candidate whilst he was on holiday to provide a safe seat for his own dad.

No turnips? Living the life of riley them folk.
To be fair if Labour get in literally everyone's ready to up sticks and go to those famously cheap and open places like Switzerland, Dubai, Luxembourg and Bermuda.
Ffs if I have to hear the word woke again, I'm definitely voting Labour if it means people like this caller sod off with her whole family
At least she can't come here, she voted against it.
The lack of self awareness is truly outstanding.
Moans about the Tories despite voting them in and then claims it will be worse under Labour. Mad to think there must be thousands of people like her in the UK.Water down turnips
Complains about takers and is considering living in tax-free Dubai.
Is he taking the piss?
He must be. I did a doubletake when he said the government wants to invest in Northern Island because it has the benefits of accessing the EU
I find this particular mental gymnastics by right wing cnuts absolutely maddening.
I am going to use this line. Very good.
My mum said just yesterday 'be careful what you wish for with Labour', and then minutes later admitted the NHS was the best it had ever been under Labour, while still towing the Daily Mail propagandist line.
My bar is pretty low now. As I've said elsewhere my wish would be just to have a government who aren't for all intents and purposes a fascist crime syndicate.
