Must be a v serious matter, bailed to the Crown Court(Jan5th) when she appeared at the Magistrates.
Something to look forward to in the New Year?

You're more than capable of abuse, Athiest...even if it is of a sniveling sly brand of abuse that you are too cowardly to own when questioned about it.

Pot


kettle

Wonder whether the "flustered" affronted would be similarly discomforted if the op read "Jewish Labour MP charged with housing fraud" ... in Liverpool for good measure perhaps.

[bobbinwales]

A dont know where your trying to lead us with that Togo but for me it would seem very loaded and unnecessary to have a headline on AnswerBank or any where saying "Jewish Labour MP charged with housing fraud...", as again there religion is uneccessary and would seemed designed to be a dog whistle to bring out the bigotts (racist or religious)

[Togo]

Ahh right they would be "affronted" but for a different reason.

[Spicerack]

Can't wait for January to hear her defence.
It'll be a thing of beauty, I'm sure.

[Togo]

Perhaps she will unearth an obscure French law, or something EU spawned, and not attend ... you know like the bosses called to give evidence at the Grenville Tower inquiry did.

naomi - // Seems most here are more concerned about the wording of the OP than the charge. //

The two are not mutually exclusive, and expressing concern about the first does not automatically signal indifference to the second.

[naomi24]

Oh my god! Really? Wow!

[TrevorThePug]

Looking at the details it pales into insignificance when compared with white Christian Consevative MP Robert Jenricks various corrupt property activities.

[bobbinwales]

//Ahh right they would be "affronted" but for a different reason.//

No your wrong. Not surer really what you mean by the affronted (maybe your term for non bogotts/reasonable peopel). . Well they'd query why the religion was mentioned for exactly the same reason. Whether there Jewish, Muslim or Christian or Atheist or any religion is totally irrelavant

[emmie]

yet to be proven, if it is then he should feel the force of the law

[TrevorThePug]

He’s a white Christian conservative, bound to be guilty.

[emmie]

of course. He;s a tory so must be guilty

[Spicerack]

//He’s a white Christian conservative, bound to be guilty.//

boohoohoo

[THECORBYLOON]

Are you not wanting to justify the inclusion of her faith?

[Spicerack]

That'll come as a great comfort to all the people who've been stuck on the council waiting list for years, Trevor.
Can't you just accept that people pretending to be left wing do bad things?

[Bazile]

Well, what's the point being an MP , if you can't avail yourself of a few perks

[TrevorThePug]

Of course all colours, stripes and creed. But White Christian conservatives in particular are usually guilty of something, look at Rolf Harris, Jimmy Saville and Gary Glitter for instance.

[emmie]

one can equally say many of those convicted of sex grooming crimes as in Rotherham, have been from the Asian community.

[THECORBYLOON]

Clearly he's not willing to explain why he felt the need to say she is a Muslim.
