Amazes me how the members of the Conservative Party have moved so far to the right that they can comfortably step across to Nigel Farage's Reform Party but step across they do and then unleash their inner Oswald Moseley but some are content to stay where they are and let out things which would have the former MP for Smethwick nodding his approval.
The Tory Party conference has been overshadowed by the Shadow Justice Secretary, Robert Jenrick, being accused of racism in the press after giving a speech at an off-the-record lunch complaining about visiting parts of Britain where he didn’t see a white face.
His Boss, Kemi Badenoch, tried to brush it away as you couldn't believe anything from journalists which left the only way that this would make her look even more stupid was if there was a recording of Jenrick saying the words himself, which is exactly what they did have, clear as a bell.
Journalists then confronted Oswald Jenrick himself and when he heard the recording, complained that they had cut off the final part where, after complaining about the lack of white faces he explained that he wasn’t making a point about skin colour.
In his weird little mind it was obvious that the media was in the wrong to quote the things that he said and to suggest that when he talked about the colour of people’s skin, he wasn't making a point about race.
So why then, asked one interviewer, if he wasn’t talking about race, had he talked about skin colour?
He blathered something about misrepresenting his comments, those comments he was recorded saying, and blamed the media for making it difficult for politicians and members of the public to address these very issues which made 'these problems worse'.
What issues are these? What problems the journalists probed and after giving it some thought, said
'Integration' and went on to describe an area of Birmingham which is 25% Pakistani, 23% Indian, 16% black, 10% Bangladeshi, 10% mixed and 9% white which suggest to most people that quite a lot of integration is going on, just not a lot the white people people like Jenrick obviously approve of.
At least at the Conservative conference, he was unlikely to be confronted with many non-white faces, actually turnout was so far down on previous years that he was lucky to find any faces at all, but undisturbed by the journalists questions about the racist things he said, he strode onto stage and waffled on about how the voice of the people was being drowned out and how he would make sure that the will of the people prevails, assuming he meant some people, certainly not the sort of people you see in 'some parts of Britain' as he called it.
Still, got to love the gullibility of the few members of the audience who bothered to turn up to applaud when he said only the Conservatives could make Britain retain it's soul, pride, and freedom and make Britain’s greatness greater still.
They want us to forget about Boris's Covid parties and Liz Truss economic ineptitude and vote Tory again, go for the full fairy tale and if they get near power ever again it will be a fairy tale, as in pretty Grimm.
