They won't be satisfied until every MP in the HOP is a Muslim.

There is a common misapprehension among native Brits that a dark skin colour, whether African or Asian derived means the owners are blood brothers. It ain’t so.

People from the sub Continent can be very aware of race and , so I am told by one of them, some Indians with near black skins in the south of India can be racially prejudiced against Africans.

I'd rather have Connie.

It is sometimes not possible to tell someone's race from their voice. I understand Rupa's point - people "supposed" to be Labour are not coming up to expectations any more.

I can tell if someone I am speaking with on the phone is black. Easily.

Never? Come off it, you can frequently guess a person's skin colour from their voice, and you'll mostly be correct, because their accent reflects their background. Though a white acquaintance had the broadest West Indian accent, having been brought up in Barbados, so not always... but, never?

You can also easily know from man-of-the-people, the satanic
R. Halford when his eyes and voice turn on screen.

To ascribe any pattern to human behaviour or characteristic based on race or culture is verboten to the Left, so Barmy is only reciting the script. Of course he knows deep down he's talking rubbish but that unfortunately is the new Left dogma, so he's stuck with it.

ie there are no differences except the oppressed (ethnic) and the oppressors (white), and to point any out is racist. There, he's been given a word for it.

The left's attitude reminds me of those stories of a 40-a-day smoker who lives to 100. So by their logic, smoking is not harmful. They can't do patterns/probabilities because that would often contradict their dogma.

She obviously felt comfortable saying it in front of that audience, which would imply she believed those listening shared her views, and she was probably correct about the majority of them

Huq is a PHD in nonsense studies. She is not intellectual. Social studies is not a science, it is communism with a posh jacket.

A free Phd falls out of a Corn Flake packet for our Rupa by the looks of things.

Yep- ANYONE can do a PHD , or in my world DPhil😎. All you have to do I cough up the cash ( preferably cough up by a union or something akin)and add ‘environment ‘ somewhere in the title and pass pass pass. Even that excrement rebIllIOUS failed farmer did one in ‘peaceful protest’ Let’s see these clowns do a maths, phys or chemistry one😂😂😂. I bet she is as thick as pig💩

The Left are everything they say others are.. pure projection!!

The comments of Rupa Huq and other Labour MPs are a recognition of a threat to their electoral coalition of ethnic minorities

I'd suggest that it's their inner racism coming to the fore, that they assume anyone not white should vote for them, and they are annoyed when they don't. It's about keeping non-whites on the Left-wing plantation. They're bigots and racists while accusing everyone else.

They were behind closed doors and let it out.. everyone of them in that room is culpable to racism for not reporting her!!

Kind of Arme Tom to clarify : "Waycism is alright if we do it."

A PhD in 'cultural studies' is of about the same intellectual value as a cycling proficiency test.

No, the cycling proficiency test requires a modicum of skill……

This is an important point. When was the last time someone with a PhD said something at a political meeting so plainly stupid? What kind of university could award her a doctorate? She has been a senior lecturer. Imagine going to university and being taught by someone like her. The whole fabric of our tertiary education system is obviously being corrupted by the policy of inclusion. A professor used to command respect. It was a "calling", though I realise that Huq is not a professor.

You can go to 'uni' & get a 'degree' even if you have learning difficulties these days. As long as you pay, you're in.

Any ‘discipline’ with ‘studies’ in the title is likely to be sub Marxist, lacking in-depth and to be on the level of stamp collecting

Professors haven't commanded respect since back to the future..professors haven't commanded respect since back to the future

The whole tertiary education charade is completely debased. There are more than twenty two thousand folk calling themselves Professor in the UK

Once Brian Cox, the pop professor, arrived you just knew the standards were dropping seriously. Now TV is full of female 'professors' with lip implants, wearing sexy outfits & being overtly sexual on camera ?? They used to look bookish & I trusted them more when they did.

Not to mention Brian Cox's lip implants.

It is just a job title, no more.

A ponsi scheme

Olusoga is not much of an historian from what I know of him. He’s a black apologist and it seems that mere facts are less important than his predetermined ‘narrative’.

From their ignorance and and knockabout stupidity, I took them to be professors only in the Punch and Judy sense.

Yes, the ignorance of the modern 'professors' know no bounds.

Well, almost a university; to be a lecturer in Sociology at Kingston Poly is not an entry ticket to any dreaming spire that I know of.

But I would say that; I once got nought for a sociology essay (you had to do a year of it at my pub) for pointing out that anchovies also think the food chain is a bit unfair and that the entire bogosity of it all was merely the study of those who want it by those who don't need it. I referred the 'professor' to the work of Jane Goodall for more interesting insights.

He didn't like that at all...

She doesnt sound Asian herself. Has she thought of that?

Just superficially Asian I guess

I don't even think Dr Huq is 'superficially bright.' She compares us pro-lifers to the murd@rer of Sarah Everard( (see below) On Mon 17 October she is pushing through a 'buffer zone' clause to the Public Order Bill.

SPUC DOT org DOT uk are asking us to contact our MP's to vote against it.

This is a draft of the letter they are proposing:
"I am writing to you to express my concern about New Clause 11, tabled by Dr Rupa Huq to the Public Order Bill, which is due to be debated on 17 October.

The amendment, if passed, would create so called "buffer zones" around abortion facilities, and make it illegal to interfere "with any person’s decision to access, provide, or facilitate the provision of abortion services in that buffer zone" – an offence punishable by up to two years in prison.

I am concerned by this for several reasons. Most importantly, buffer zones deny last-minute help to women, including those who feel pressured or have been coerced into having an abortion. Many children are alive today because their mother met a loving pro-life person directly outside the abortion clinic – where desperate women most need help.

In addition, criminalising people for expressing pro-life views in public would be a huge departure from the UK’s long-standing tradition that people are free to gather together and to demonstrate their views. I find it horrifying that people could be jailed for up to two years for offering help to women, and for demonstrating or praying in public.

Such amendments also show a worrying vilification of people who hold pro-life views. When she tabled an almost identical amendment at the Committee stage of this Bill, Dr Huq made serious and unsubstantiated allegations against pro-life people. She repeatedly compared vigils outside abortion facilities to the brutal murder of Sarah Everard in March 2021. Comparing pro-life vigils – peacefully offering help to women seeking abortion – to the brutal and unprovoked murder of a young woman is highly offensive on many levels.

Please stand up for the rights of pro-life citizens, and for the rights of women in difficult situations to receive help and support, and vote against New Clause 11 if it is chosen for debate on 17 October."

I hope that readers who share my views will contact their MP's.

It can't be an easy decision to arrange an abortion, so the last thing any woman wants is to encounter an interfering pro - lifer making her feel guilty as she tries to enter the clinic. These tactics are just cruel and unthinking.

Read over what you just wrote 'making her feel guilty as she tries to enter the clinic.' Better that than a life time of regret.

No need for me to reconsider what I wrote earlier. It is a purely personal decision for the individual woman, and, whether you like it or not, some women feel they are not in a position to bring up a child at that particular time, for various reasons. This is not an easy decision to make, but better to terminate the pregnancy than for a child to be born who cannot be adequately cared for, and a woman to have to face this dilemma. There are plenty of women who do not live a lifetime of regret, they have a lifetime of relief that they have not had to struggle and submit a child to an less than adequate upbringing.

Please have some understanding and get off your moral high horse.

It's what they're doing in the U.S., so she's just copying the US abortion lobby's tactics. If Labour get into power, expect to get pro-lifers to be arrested and thrown in jail for "violence."

And so they should be when they interfere at such a difficult time. Some women don't want to or can't go through with a pregnancy. Leave them alone and give them some respect for their decisions

So, to use Dykespeak, Kwarteng is "hideously educated!"

Aka Duckspeak.

"Sir Keir may see this an opportunity to rid himself of a troublesome leftie"
As opposed to what; a non troublesome leftie?

Must admit I have a problem with "Affordable Housing".
And yet these builders seem to be able to sell all these un-affordable houses.
Not a problem but I do wonder - Do politicians live in the same world as us mortals?

A lot of rentier housing, is subsidised by the government printing presses

Unfortunately many are pre-sold to corporations and large property management companies (usually foreign) which drive the prices up. Many then end up on the rental market or stay empty as assets sitting in some inventory. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't some money laundering going on with criminal gangs as well. This basically makes family housing unaffordable to first time buyers further suppressing the birth rates of those not dependent on welfare.

I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't some money laundering going on with criminal gangs
- and large transnational corporations. Apologies for the tautology.

Remember, you will own nothing and be happy
