Downing Street backs Tory deputy chair over ‘back to France’ comments
Lee Anderson’s remarks on Bibby Stockholm asylum seekers supported by justice secretary, who No 10 says is speaking for government
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...rance-comments-bibby-stockholm-asylum-seekers
This is all I can find on the BBC about it...
'Conservative Party deputy chairman Lee Anderson used an expletive to say that if they did not like barges they should go back to France, the Daily Express reported.
Asked about the language, Justice Secretary Alex Chalk told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Lee has expressed himself in his own way but the central point he's making is not unreasonable."'
Both articles reassuringly hidden away. Wiil be forgotten by tomorrow.

Thus, presumably he is in agreement that if any asylum seekers are ever sent to Rwanda, if they don't like the accommodation they can go back to the UK.
Ah. He hadn't thought of that....
I don't believe thinking is his strongest asset.
I love how when tories talk about immigrants they try to paint them in the baddest of light as if every single one of them will cause havoc on our streets committing crimes, when reality is majority are happy to do jobs that british don't want to do but hey let's not change the tory narrative that it's foreigners destroying the country and not liz truss pound crashing economic plan or greedy gas companies hiking prices or water companies turning our rivers and coastlines into a dumping ground for...dumps or how supermarkets are hiking up prices whilst making great profits or how tories are causing strike after strike because they view public sector workers as ungrateful peasants or the biggest elephant in the room brexit
Worth remembering that just 5 years ago 30p lee was working for then labour MP Gloria de Piero, abd was an actual Labour Councillor.
His views have not changed since then, and she is currently a GB news presenter.
If it were not for the 'far left' Momentum making a complaint about his behaviour, there is very good chance he would currently be a Labour MP. With those same views.

Was it not the local council that made the suspension due to his views on the travelling community? https://theclarionmag.org/2018/03/21/why-gloria-de-pieros-allies-have-defected-to-the-tories/
I was more hinting towards his own claims.
When you read this piece now, it is even more laughable than it was at the time. But the corbyn panic meant people took this stuff seriously. and where we are now is the consequence.

“Working very closely with other countries is critical to dismantling the people-smuggling gangs and disrupting the supply of materials such as boats and engines which ultimately facilitates more boat crossings,” the immigration minister, Robert Jenrick, told BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme on Wednesday.
The desperation and stupidity increases, if that were possible.
Nobody in Europe is allowed to own a small boat, according to Jenrick, moronic twat.

Disrupting supply chains seems like an achievable goal for this government.
But Starmer would do worse or something...
Nothing surprises you any more.

Is it ok to call them scum yet?
Because it's all obvious. The rules and Ideals of public service disappeared a long time ago. They're in Westminster for themselves.
As George Carlin once said: "it's a big club, and you ain't in it"
I don't know about that, he's giving him a great run for his money
So will this get wall to wall coverage from tv news like migrant barges, farage bank account and Hugh Edwards showing his bumper????
He is as big a cnut. Just sneakier and more polished. He is the human vajazzle
It's a fair cop I reckon. Try it and see, if not, revert to cnuts.
Yes Mr Shapps, definitely not a death trap. Oh, and for 'migrants' read 'human beings'.

Some of the comments on the daily mail story are beyond batshit crazy and just plain evil. These are the people that our Kier really wants to appeal too?? +
So many want us to leave the ECHR.
Here's the thing, its not just the immigrants that lose their rights if we do, all of us do.
I wonder which one of these the braintrusts at the mail think they are safe without.

If our government actually does go ahead, it will cement the UK position as a third world country.
And, of course, Braverman knew all about it days ago.
Celebrating 'small scrote week'.
None of those ignorant idiots have a clue what the ECHR means. They just assume it's something to do with the EU and letting brown people into the county.
If we left we would join Russia and Belarus as the only European counties not party to it. The far right in UK would be perfectly happy with that as they would love us to abandon any form of morality and align with their fellow fascists. They are the sort of cnuts that would have joined the Freikorps and fought against Britain in WW2 based on their believes. Them thinking about that for just a second breaks their brain though.
Get a grip mate. Nothing of the sort. People in 3rd world countries are literally dying to get here. Comments like this really boil my piss.
This isn't what should be boiling your piss mate.
It does though berba. If the guy had to spend a year in a genuine 3rd world country he would crawl over hot coals to get back here.
Meh some guy being hyperbolic about the state of the country isnt the issue. But you do you.
The government wanting to make the country so shit that no migrants want to come to the Uk is about the best explanation for their incompetence so far.
