If the Tory candidate for Blackburn unseats the Secretary of State for Justice in the coming election the Conservative whip is not the whip he deserves..
The Telegraph reports today that he circulated a leaflet, now withdrawn on the orders of HQ, which challenges Labour?S claim to serve the Muslim vote.
It says:
??We cannot be deceived by their hollow claims. We have in front of us a whole saga of atrocities committed in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Palestine and as if this was not enough, the Labour government allowed the Israeli government to create havoc in Lebanon and Gaza in Palestine, destroying their infrastructure and killing and maiming thousands of innocent civilians. The Labour government did nothing, absolutely nothing for a number of days while the Israelis carried on their inhuman killing of innocent men, women and children.?
It accuses Jack Straw, who is the MP for Blackburn, of insulting ?Our religion and culture and?Our sisters and mothers? By refusing to hold meetings with women constituents wearing a full veil. ?We should not forget that today they are criticising our women?S(sic) veil, tomorrow it will be our caps and our beards they will attack,? The pamphlet declares.
It goes on to urge a vote for Mr Law-Riding ?If you want to see an end to unnecessary and very expensive wars, shedding of innocent blood and save Britain from bankruptcy.??
It is not just the leaflet that should have been withdrawn. This is not the sort of person who should represent us in British politics.
