Smears For Years

[Canary42]

For years we've had to put up with smears against Jeremy Corbyn because of his support for HAMAS terrorists.

Will we see the same for unapologetic IRA Bombers supporter Claire Fox, or will our usual suspects remain mum because she is one of Boris's appointments, and a strong Brexit supporter.

no or Yes
it has been quite a journy for Leddy Fox
or - - - foxy lady !

she has quite a lot to apologise for - and frankly it doesnt surprise me when she says - I wont even begin

Judgement on one issue ought not affect judgement on other issues. Flawed politicians are ten a penny.

[Peter Pedant]

just look at Bliar or Boris - or Baldwin - -
( or Buckingham - the kings favourite - bit early 1625)

well Jezza has had to put up with what is said about him but how has it hurt "we"?

Is that the Roman Catholic Educated Claire Fox who is of Irish descent and was a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party? Perhaps she thought she had some skin in the game, being Irish, and Catholic. When did cob convert to islam and how extensive are his family ties to the Arabic people?

Then there’s Munira Mirza, a former member of the RCP, now Johnson’s chief policy adviser.
The interesting thing is she’s not the only former member of that party to grace the ranks of Tory eurosceptics. To put it mildly.

(Wasn’t it Michael Gove who had Lenin's portrait in his office?)
Add to that a chief adviser who probably hates the Tories as much as Corbyn’s did and one had to say it’s a funny old world.
Did someone say “Conservative” government? ;-)
I’ve got nothing particularly against Claire Fox but how on earth this politician - who I think incidentally used to be fervently against the Lords, - merits a place there goodness only knows. It can’t even be cronyism in her case can it?

One wonders what info or scandal that Fox has on Boris.Both Fox and Corbyn were known IRA supporters and cheerleaders,yet Fox gets elevated to the peerage.Only the murderous sratbards(anagram)of the IRA scum will know for sure.

[JimF]

I don't often agree with ynnafymmi, unsurprisingly, but I absolutely do on this matter. 100%. This stinks.

[youngmafbog]

I'm with the two above.

"Will we see the same for unapologetic IRA Bombers supporter Claire Fox,"

Well not from this Tory supporter. I am more than happy to call out problems in the party and this appears to be one that needs calling out.

[Quizmonster]

Well, Ymb, don't you think that kicking the promised "internal" inquiry into anti-islamic prejudice is an example of one of the (quote) "problems in the party" you refer to?
Every single one of the candidates in the party-leadership campaign a while back, including Johnson, vowed they would take action.
Yes, I know it was conveniently renamed, months ago, as an inquiry into ALL prejudices, making it all the easier to cause the specificity of the original complaint to disappear.
So, how are party's inquiry-members getting on with their deliberations? (Yes, I know they are all heavily involved in solving the coronavirus shambles!)

[Peter Pedant]

well yeah
if it a choice between finking about anti islamic stuff in the Tory Party or thinkin about covid and how to get above it

I wd choose covid

[ToraToraTora]

well I did agree but my answer was inexplicably removed.
