Muslims are waking as much as what a horrible mistake they only made voting | Politics | News | EUROtoday

What a horrid and divided nation we have gotten. As the mom of all Parliaments will get able to welcome its third member for Gaza South, Starmer’s “nation of strangers” is beginning to seem like a comfortable choice. What we are literally turning into is a nation of adversaries. Be trustworthy, you’d quite Labour had gained in Gorton and Denton on Thursday wouldn’t you?

Especially in case you are an precise Green. I imply a poor previous correct Green voter, the sort to fret about windmills and nuclear energy; as a result of their occasion has been hijacked by reactionary sectariansists. Little mini-fascists actually.

Hannah Spencer may come throughout as slightly bit dim. But her marketing campaign had the cynicism, the division and the championing of causes so international to this land it made your jaw drop, to start with there was her secrecy.

Never in 30-odd years of protecting politics have I come throughout a potential MP whose background was left as intentionally and as dangerously opaque as Hannah’s. What was she hiding? Well, there’s her £1.2million property portfolio in super-posh Cheshire – or WAG-central because it’s identified – for a begin.

She likes to come back throughout all ‘relatable woman-of-the-people’ and “I’m only a ‘fik plumber me” – but her partner is Associate Principal Scientist at AstraZeneca. Or at least he was in 2023 when she filled in the register of members interests at Trafford Council. So, 34-years-old and in possession of a property portfolio worth £1.2million and a partner earning well in excess of six figures.

Yep, just like the average couple in every Levenshulme terraced house. Oh, and I assume you thought the Greens manifesto was against the scourge of grasping second-home owners and the loathed Big Pharma didn’t you?

Not our Hannah, she’s well-up for each! I imply half of me thinks “well done love” and the opposite half thinks “you loathsome cheating hypocrite”. I suppose you may make your personal minds up.

But naughty Hannah quite hid one or two different issues too whereas she was utilizing Gaza as a smokescreen… and a variety of conservative Muslims (one thing of a tautology) who voted Green in Gorton will little doubt have woken up this morning saying “hang on… she wants to legalise drugs? And prostitution? And boost trans-rights? And assisted dying and abortion… I didn’t vote for that!”

Er, sure you probably did. Bit late for patrons’ regret now. Just wait ‘till they find out Zak Polanski’s Jewish! What is evidenced right here, liable to beginning the bleedin’ apparent, is that the left entering into mattress with the non secular proper in our Muslim communities is a pact with the satan.

Neither trusts the opposite aspect however each have one thing to realize. It’s basic sleeping with the enemy. But it appears having the ability to maintain two polar reverse views concurrently is the important thing to success in Zak Polanski’s Green Party.

It’s how Hannah can declare to help girls’s rights then get into mattress with essentially the most reactionary faith on the planet whose sexual politics are notoriously mediaeval. (She celebrated her look at a Mosque claiming to champion girls whereas on the identical time obsequiously sporting the male-dictated scarf et al. Girl Power!)

I’ve a horrible concern that Hannah Spencer is just too thick to see what she has completed, weaponising the politics of division. But I feel Zak Polanski is intelligent sufficient to see precisely what he has completed.

Does anybody actually suppose it was Hannah’s concept to make a propaganda video in Urdu stating: “The Reforms (sic) want to break up our communities. They want to deport families who have lived here for years, and they want to tax people born abroad even more. They give air to Islamophobia, and they put our safety and dignity at risk. But there is another way…”

And the much more jaw-droppingly missing in self-awareness “We hit all 14 mosques this Friday – 14/14! Thank you, everyone…

“Our Ramadan cards went down a treat.”

“Do you attend evening Taraweeh at any of these mosques? If so, can you help with leaflets and conversations after prayers?”

Nah, that was Zak, And if that isn’t blatant, cynical, patronising, harmful sectarianism I don’t know what’s.
