Quote:The messages included one from an individual who wrote that they would like to “turf all Muslims out of public office”. Another said they wanted to “get rid of all mosques”. Many comments were found on a Facebook group supporting Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Quote:Earlier on Tuesday, it emerged one of the party’s council candidates had previously been suspended for comparing Islam to alcoholism in a tweet in 2015. In the same year, he wrote: “Turkey buys oil from Isis. Muslims sticking together.”

Peter Lamb, a council candidate in Harlow, apologised earlier this month, saying: “The tweet was aimed at the extremists that have hijacked Islam and are cowardly hiding behind the religion” and that it was not meant to apply to “those who follow the religion peacefully and are contributing to the diversity of the UK”.

On Tuesday, he tweeted: “I have reflected on my comments and decided that I should step down as a local election candidate and resign [from] the Conservative party with immediate effect.”

A Conservative spokesperson told the website Politics Home that, at the time of the initial tweets, Lamb had been suspended from the party before later being readmitted by his local association. The Harlow Conservative Association chairman, Clive Souter, described the punishment as a “slap on the wrist”.

Looks like the Tory party is riddled with racism, bigotry and Islamophobia.  And there's real evidence out there that suggests this is indeed the case.

[color=rgb(28, 30, 33)][/size]Here we go ........ it all begins to make sense now ..... but explains a lot about the people listed below.
Dominic Grieve:
owns building land in France and receives donations from German businesses.
Anna Soubry:
owns property in Portugal and gets donations from the Ulster Unionist Party (a Remain group).
Chuka Umunna:
gets hospitality and payments (along with Grieve) from the Franco(French)-British Colloque and he also took a £50,000 donation from Farr Vinters Ltd, whose main business is, in their own words, "the purchase and sale of top Bordeaux wines" as well as "an in depth range of wines from other French regions including Burgundy, the Rhône and Loire valleys, Champagne and Alsace."
Joanna Cherry:
the SNP's gob in Westminster, is yet another beneficiary of the Franco-British Colloque and also has received donations and hospitality from the Public Diplomacy Council of Catalonia (you know, that region of Spain that voted for independence which was later criminalized).
Ian Blackford:
another SNP hypocrite, has shareholdings in Commsworld - a telecoms company that relies on sub-sea links to mainland Europe.
Vince Cable:
receives hospitality from IBEC, which is an organisation representing business interests in the Republic of Ireland.
These are but a few traitors with conflicting interests.
(Source Register of Members' Financial Interests (as of 03/12/2018) These traitors are only interested in their own selfish affairs, not democracy or the UK as they profess publicly.
Vocal Leave supporters like Rees-Mogg, Boris, Raab, Davies and Barclay don't have anything invested in the EU (except for one fund in Ireland that exists only to facilitate business with Northern Ireland). Farage has a German wife and still thinks leaving is right! Funny that... The truth is plain to see - you need only open your eyes
Bercow has received more than £70,000 worth of freebies and earns £153,145 a year and has a grace-and-favour home in Westminster, received £18,949.80 in 2016-17 alone, and has racked up £16,948.83 in 2017-18 and a further £9,296 so far this financial year
The Duke of Wellington, educated at Eton and Oxford, is believed to have received over £80,000 in EU subsidies for part of his 7,000 acre Hampshire estate in 2015. He is also believed to have claimed other separate subsidies for land he owns in Spain and Belgium. He is also one of 17 of the UK’s 24 non-Royal Dukes who receive large annual EU farm subsidies for the land they own.
In 2015, according to official figures, the total figure was around £4.6billion, the bulk paid to aristocrats directly or to trusts, companies and entities controlled by them.[/color]
