Look at London now and compare how it was before Sadiq Khan became mayor. Something has happened, and silencing those who point to the problem won’t solve it.
“Lee Anderson is SUSPENDED from Conservative party after he refused to apologise for ‘Islamophobic, racist’ comments that London mayor Sadiq Khan was controlled by Islamists and had ‘given our capital city away to his mates,'” by Oliver Price, Daily Mail, February 24, 2024:
Lee Anderson has been suspended by the Conservative party after he refused to apologise for ‘Islamophobic, racist’ comments where he claimed that London Mayor Sadiq Khan was controlled by ‘Islamists’.
A spokesperson for the party’s chief whip Simon Hart said the decision had been made following the former Tory deputy chairman’s ‘refusal to apologise’ for the remarks made on Friday.
Pressure had been mounting on Rishi Sunak to take action over the comments from the Ashfield MP, with Mr Khan saying the ‘deafening silence’ of the Prime Minister and his Cabinet amounted to condoning racism.
A spokesperson for Mr Hart said: ‘Following his refusal to apologise for comments made yesterday, the Chief Whip has suspended the Conservative whip from Lee Anderson MP.’
A Conservative source was defending Mr Anderson last night and this morning before he was stripped of party support at around 3pm this afternoon.
This comes after Sadiq Khan hit out against Anderson earlier this afternoon for ‘pouring fuel on the fire of anti-Muslim hatred’.
The ex-deputy Tory chairman said on GB News last night that Khan – the first Muslim Mayor of London – is controlled by Islamists and that he has ‘given our capital city away to his mates’.
Mr Anderson said last night: ‘I don’t actually believe that these Islamists have got control of our country, but what I do believe is they’ve got control of Khan and they’ve got control of London and they’ve got control of Starmer as well.
‘Again, this stems with Khan, he’s actually given our capital city away to his mates.
‘Beware, because if you let Labour in through the back door, expect more of this and expect our cities to be taken over by these lunatics.’
Speaking to Sky News, Mr Khan said the comments from the senior Conservative MP ‘pour fuel on the fire of anti-Muslim hatred’.
He added: ‘We’ve seen over the last two days confirmation that over the last few months there had been an increase in anti-Muslim cases by more than 330%….

People on social media keep saying that the UK is in danger of becoming islamic. I have news for them. It already is.

Destroy all self will. The UK govt way pretty much forever after Maggie and probably before that.
Tony Rice says
The death of democracy when a politician can’t make a comment without being sacked . If the Party think his comment is not true, they should say so and WHY Did Braverman not say something similar a few days ago and not get reprimanded at all.
John Smith says
Speaking the truth about Islam or Muslims in the UK these days can get you into all sorts of trouble.
Before Sadiq Khan became mayor he was often seen rubbing shoulders with hardcore jihadi’s. He would allow the black flags of isis to be openly waved at his rallies. Nowadays Sadiq is more of a closet jihadi, but he’s still a jihadi, and we all know what their long term goals are. The future is looking bleak for all us none muslims.

Eek! What a dilemma! Islamophobia lurking at the door like a wolf. English lads roaming the streets to gang-rape Islamic girls! No? it’s the other way round….. Well English thugs breaking into Islamic houses of divine worship and profaning them with vandalism, graffiti spray painted everywhere, sometimes arson! No? It’s the other way round….. British monsters throwing acids onto Islamic girls causing permanent disabilities and scars! No? It’s the other way round…. Well British bigots condemning people because of the race into which they were born! No? Islam is a belief, not a race. Well, Anderson did tell the plain truth about the intrusion of Islam permanently changing the national character of his homeland and the rest of Eurabia (as it’s more accurately called now). Yeah! Bravo for Conservative Party’s punishments for speaking the truth. He should have condemned Catholicism or Anglicanism and it would have been okay….
Westpacwill says
Here’s the ticket! Anderson can threaten Jewish neighbors with violence, damage their homes, chase their children home from school… Maybe lead mobs through the streets chanting, “From the river to the sea”, demanding the eradication of Israel, and the annihilation of every Jew there and around the world. If he does that, the Conservative Party will quickly re-embrace him and give him an award for cultural sensitivity and Right-Think. Sadiq Khan could give him the Key to the City of London for that, you betcha!

Even putting aside the dhimmitude, one would have thought that the Tories would be somewhat liberal when it came to attacks on muslims belonging to Labour! So much for that
So who controls the Tories, and can patriotic Brits win back control of the party? Or do they have to pick b/w Britain First, Reform, Reclaim or UKIP?
STJOHNOFGRAFTON says
He told the truth: Islamic voters call the shots and politicians are poop-scared. They are moral cowards and figure that apeasement of Islam will make the world safer. It only makes the world more Islamic at the expense of true freedom.
James Lincoln says
So, Lee Anderson’s remarks were “Islamophobic and racist”.
Wow, the power of those words!
“Islamophobic” is a word that has been invented in order to shut down any legitimate criticism of islam.
and
Islam is not a race.
John Smith says
Absolutely spot on James, islamaphobia is a word that’s been created to shut down any opposition to Islam, and unfortunately it’s working. And as we all know Islam is not a race, but they play the racist card with perfection. At the moment they are winning hands down, it’s up to us to turn the tables. Presently we are a very small movement, but it’s up to us all to make our movement grow.

I apologise that my comments keep repeating. I’ve no idea why this is happening.
P.S hope this doesn’t repeat
somehistory says
No need to worry, John. It happens to all of us at one time or another.
Besides, what you wrote is worth repeating….a lot of times so people get the point and don’t forget.
John Smith says
Thanks Somehistory

They couldn’t say that he is wrong. They are just mad because he wouldn’t apologize.

UK is already under Sharia.
Dhimmi UK.
Jedothek says
Typically, when the establishment dislikes a statement, establishment spokespeople respond with stupid name calling (“Islamophobic, racist”) but no attempt is made to find out the fact of the matter: Is Khan or is he not controlled by Islamists?
Westpacwill says
It’s just a shame that Britain doesn’t treat Islam with the same tolerance and benevolence that Islamic countries have always shown to Judaism and Christianity and every other non-Islamic faith!
Wait…. what? The Islamic nations have ethnically cleaned themselves of Judaism, and Christians and every other non-Islamic faith (or the wrong flavor of Islam) are forced to live as dhimmis, non-citizens with no legal protections of any kind, paying “jizya” taxes for the “privilege” of residing as slaves.
Plus, the most persecuted faiths in the world today are Judaism and Christianity, particularly in places like Nigeria where they are being beheaded and other hideous forms of annihilation, with their children that are not slaughtered forced into conversion to Islam. Dang, that sounds like crimes against humanity! Maybe somebody should mention that to the UN and its Human Rights Committee? Wait…. what??
alexreid says
Controlled by Islamists1 He is an Islamist!!!
Stephen Burgess says
Khan should be strung up the useless piece crap how has this country allowed this scum to walk the streets.
terry says
Of course he is, as is almost all politicians. Being bought and controlled by the forces and powers of Islam, as well as their partners in crime, the Globalist Elites of the West and the Marxist Comrades of all the rest.
abu taleb says
He should also say that the UK politicians are controlled by the Islamists.
