Burkha clad BNP candidate.

Isn't it time this piece of scum, was thrown out of the BNP, if they want to maintain some credibility of being a legal political party?

Note this report courtesy of the Daily Mail (or have they made this up as well)

"Isn't it time this piece of scum, was thrown out of the BNP"

I suugest you look up the meaning of Oxymoron.

Jesus, she's as mad as a box of frogs

[DEN53]

I thought the photo was a bloke dressed up ....

[bobjugs12]

It'll be an easy win for either the Limp Dems or the Tories then

[tamborine]

Halloween party is quite different from a political party....students, youth culture etc; they grow out of it. Didn't HRH Harry dress as a nazi?

[Davethedog]

I wasn't going to come back to this but read it all the way down, She obviously isn't right.

[Gromit]

Having seen the picture of Charlotte Lewis further down the page without the Burka, I hope she retains it, especially if she doesn't want to scare away potential voters.

[bobjugs12]

Forget the fancy dress party, i'm more concerned about the prison sentance and animal-rights fundamentelism

[Zeuhl]

I don't see why putting on a bhurka and face veil for a joke is any worse than a joke kilt or a turban.

They are not religious garb they are arab cultural dictats. An inability to laugh at oneself is always a dangerous sign.

What is unacceptable is a parliamentary candidate capable of saying things like:

///They were born in Glasgow I think, but their parents were from Pakistan - so they are Pakis.'///

Absolutely - I am far more concerned about the comments ascribed to her and the brief overview of her past than what she wears to a fancy dress party.

[bobjugs12]

Zeuhl,
You have the ability to take the words out of my mind and articulate them in a way that makes me jealous. As a result I dislike you.



(just kidding)

[jake-the-peg]

"Miss Lewis has a history of psychological problems"

Surely another Mail exageration? She seems perfectly well balanced.

Zeuhl I don't think the point is the Burkha as much as saying things like 'I hope people turn up in the middle of the night and throw bricks through her windows'

Given that she has a criminal record for harassment that sounds a pretty credible threat of violence.


AOG has a point - who in the BNP thought that she would make a suitable candidate to project the sort of image that Nick Griffin is trying to project?

Clear evidence the old guard BNP is alive and kicking

[Zeuhl]

cheers bobjugs LMAO

you are obviously a person of discernment, intelligence and good taste :-)
