The Ipswich Star fastidiously refrains from telling us in this report what Flood actually said, or retweeted, but in an August 2022 report, it stated that there were two tweets Flood retweeted: “One called for Islam to be banned in the UK and another said Islam was a faith that does not allow free speech.”
Calling for Islam to be banned in the UK is harsh indeed, and contradicts the nation’s principle of freedom of religion. At the same time, Britain will one day have to come to grips with the fact that they have a large and growing population of people who don’t believe in the freedom of speech, or equality of rights for women, or the freedom of conscience, or much more that Britons have taken for granted for decades or centuries. Britain will at some point become a Sharia state or make it clear that it rejects some aspects of Sharia. This choice will at some point become inevitable.
And Islamic law mandates death for criticizing Allah, Muhammad, the Qur’an or Islam. So Flood was right. Telling the truth is now forbidden in Britain.
“Conservatives expel Ipswich councillor Steve Flood over Islamophobia,” by Paul Geater, Ipswich Star, October 5, 2022:
Controversial Ipswich Councillor Steve Flood has been expelled from the Conservative Party after retweeting Islamophobic posts – but plans to retain his seat on the authority.
Mr Flood was suspended by the party in August after we revealed he had retweeted two posts that were Islamophobic – one calling for Islam to be banned in the UK.
His retweets sparked anger across the political spectrum – and prompted Ipswich Conservative MP Tom Hunt to say such views had no place in a mainstream political party.
A statement by the Ipswich Conservative Association said: “Following the conclusion of an investigation, Mr. Flood has been expelled from the Conservative Party.”…
Labour council leader David Ellesmere said: “This is the right decision by Ipswich Conservatives but I can’t understand why it has taken them so long.
“Quite frankly the Islamophobic social media posts retweeted by Steve Flood were just the tip of the iceberg.
“Given the sort of stuff he was regularly posting and retweeting it beggars belief that no one from Ipswich Conservatives took action against him earlier. Steve Flood now needs to do the decent thing and resign from the Council completely.”…

In the 1930s, Winston Churchill was Naziphobic, and he was roundly condemned for it.

Grimly true, Daniel.

Apparently the British have not heard this particular dictum?

Isn’t this the same bind/pickle that the U.S. is in? So what is the answer? ‘We’ know the ‘truth’ about Islam but we have here ‘freedom of religion’,so what is the answer?
{Self}destruction or Survival? We know that the majority and ignorant(not meant as a slander} either simply do not care or are ‘unknowing’ about the facts so what is the answer?

Freedom of religion is indeed a key freedom in America. But it is *not* legal to wage violent Jihad or impose Shari’ah. Those are the laws we should be scrupulously enforcing.

And there’s the problem. Secularism should override religion, reason must prevail over blind belief & self-delusion.
somehistory says
This country of America, was founded and the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution written, by men who believed in a Divine Creator. If all people who had come here since, had all believed the same, or similar, to those who made positive expressions about the Bible, Christ, the Almighty God of the Bible, there would not be mozlum terrorists here now. Those men fought for *freedom* from tyranny and for the freedom to worship without a government telling them how.
A belief in God, is not the problem. A belief in a false god and a willingness to murder and lie and rape, are where things go awry.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
No, there is no problem w/ religions other than islam. That’s the issue w/ classifying islam as a religion, which I have long argued against: it bunches islam w/ actual religions like Christianity and Judaism, rather than w/ political ideologies like Communism and Nazism. That’s followed by vapid statements like Jim’s that religion is the problem, and throwing one’s lot w/ the same people who’ve made common cause w/ the muslims in a jihad against (non-islamic) organized religion
somehistory says
If some city council guy in GA said there was no bigfoot, or sheky bean in that state, would he be removed?
Would he be guilty of Sasquatchophobia?
mozlums made up a word to cover their inability to handle the Truth about their belief, practices and goals.
When anyone says any thing that is critical of mozlums in their belief, practices and goals, they and their supporters cry foul…with the non-word expression.
And that brings about dismissals, firings, expulsions, and threats. all of these prove there is no longer freedom to speak one’s mind. Esp if one is speaking about mozlums and their practices and goals.

I don’t think Islam should be banned anywhere in the West, anymore than I think, let’s see here, that Nazism, Marxism or Satanism should be banned. What I do fervently want, however, is for accurate characterizations of evil ideologies or organizations, three others being the KKK, BLM and Antifa.
If a free society has its head on straight and has the guts to call a spade a spade, nothing needs to be banned, only exposed. Freedom thereafter will take care of things and evil will be consigned, as it should be, to the remote fringes of society. We’re not even close to this optimal approach where Islam is concerned, and thus we see all the rot continuing whereby Islam is stupidly assumed to be innocent when it is anything but.
Beyond dumb. Actually, quite suicidal. So very often mankind is a collective idiot and exculpating Islam in its entirety here in the West serves as a case in point of such aggregate idiocy.

Yes.
If the mainstream media practiced fair and balanced journalism, islam / muslims in the United States could be effectively marginalized.

Yes, the usual stuff in all western countries, the truth tellers about Islam’s malignant nature have to be shot down, they have to be silenced or expelled like this truth teller. One day, this pathetic pandering to islam, this stupid protection racket that the clowns in all western countries, their heads stuck in the sand, keep running for islam, is going to have to end. All these surrender monkeys who refuse to call out islam’s evil and incompatible nature, I suppose so they can keep enjoying a peaceful life for a bit longer, are destroying so many western countries.

Thanks for the +1, Golem2. All i keep hoping is that more and more people, fed up with islam’s obvious evils, do speak up and tell the truth about it.

UK: Conservative Party expels councillor for retweeting ‘Islamophobic posts’ on Twitter
……………………………….
Notice there is no attempt to prove that what Flood had to say is false–how is the death penalty in Islam *not* a crushing of freedom of speech? So often these days speaking the truth is no defense.

I fully endorse both of Steve Flood’s statements. Now that he’s out of the Tories, he should join Anne-Marie Waters’ ‘For Britain’ party
tgusa says
“another said Islam was a faith that does not allow free speech”
Evidently that also applies to the Ipswich Conservative Association and the Labour council but they both fail to connect the dots. Birds of a feather flock together. White we are at it lets call for the banning of both those groups. Eventually the two groups combined can have a party get together in a phone booth.
Mr. Flood should say, you cant expel me I already quit! Didn’t you idiots read my posts?
tim gallagher says
I often think that islam is never going improve or change. It is all set in stone. I think it is encouraging to see the protests in Iran because, maybe, lots of people there have had a gutful of islam and they want to cast it aside and join the modern world. I often mention the “Outsiders” program which is on Sunday morning here in Australia. The three hosts are pretty tough conservatives. today they interviewed a woman named Dr Qanta Ahmed who had recently visited Saudi Arabia. They have interviewed her before. She was saying that she sees fundamental change in Saudi Arabia. I didn’t know whether to think that this is all bullshit or not. The interview with her is there among the program’s podcasts. I googled “Outsiders TV show” and there is a section “Outsiders podcast Sky News Australia” the interview is under the heading “Profund change has made Saudi arabia “unrecognisable””. I find it hard to believe, but the interview was interesting. i suspect that Dr Ahmed has been fooled. I thought that Jihad watch would be interested in the interview.

Meanwhile muslims across the UK pump their fists in the air while screaming… YES, allo snackbar… One more down, many more to go while laughing their stupid heads off at the compliant British infidel.

My theory is that Maggie Thatcher was rejected by those who followed and who made the “One Nation Tory” movement to break apart from her fantastic legacy because they were really leftists infiltrated in the Tory Party even with pro Moslem inclination as Theresa May is.
If you put together Refugee Convention 1951 + Devolution Act 1997 (Tony) + Human Rights Act 1998 (Tony) + Equality Act 2010 (Gordon) + One Nation Conservatives = You have a Second Labour Party!
The treacherous Marxists infiltrated everywhere aim to give UK over to Marxism and Islam
We need to revive “My God and My Right” as per the Royal Coad of Arms or we will be toast.
We need to purge Marxism and Islam or we are toast. England is lost in parts already like Batley where an ENGLISH teacher hides from the terrorists.
What Marxism does is to replace MERIT in our Social Contract with NEED so everything starts working doing the opposite of what it was designed to do
The Police take water and blankets to the road blockers and legalise burglary etc
The Border Force helps to break Immigration Law, it doesn’t protect our borders it brings in illegal immigrants from safe France, even their union lawyers go to court to stop deportation of what they brought in!
The Courts stop deportation of criminals and illegal immigrants which are a risk to the English, the courts try to keep criminals in England not reduce crime, they legalise all types of vandalism etc.
The Armed Forces put Marxism before King and Country, they won’t employ White English boys with more MERIT they would rather wait for something less English to come along with less merit to protect Marxism.
And so on, even the parents side with the little vandals against any attempt of the authorities to establish discipline. So we need to purge the left and Islam from everywhere if we are to survive, this can’t last much longer as it is going, parts of England have fallen.
