Investigating institutional racism and Islamophobia in the Conservative Party.

[MatesJacob @MatesJacob]

You know when a Tory councillor gets exposed for racism in the media, and the Tories suspend them and say “See? We take immediate action!”

This is what happens next, every single time:

Tried to show @BorisJohnson the picture of Jack Williment-Barr. The 4-year-old with suspected pneumonia forced to lie on a pile of coats on the floor of a Leeds hospital.

I’ve been mauled by @afneil (I’m a Brexit Tory), it’s not a pleasant experience. The idea that he isn’t excellent at his job, just because some of the Hard Left don’t like his views, is a joke. https://t.co/eZJhv54Qvy

The idea that deceiving others was a mainstream Islamic practice called Taqiyya, used to be a far-right conspiracy theory discussed mainly in far-right groups.

Here is it proposed & legitimised in The Times by Melanie Phillips.

How many Islamophobia complaints has the party received in total?

@toadmeister I really don't think anyone needs your input on stuff like this, Toby.

[MatesJacob @MatesJacob]

Boris Johnson always tells us to "believe in Britain", but apparently he's not talking about the parts of Britain that are single parents, or young, or Nigerian, or gay, or girly, or Muslim, or poor.

"Believe in rich white men" might be a better slogan for him.

[MatesJacob @MatesJacob]

Hi @JamesCleverly.

Unfortunately your colleague hadn’t apprised himself of the relevant facts here. Maybe you can tell us:

How many Islamophobia complaints has the party received in total?

How many members have been expelled?
