Sacked for a failure to apologise, not for want he actually said.
OT but I keep reading the thread title as 'Lee Anderson's irie' and thinking he's got into soundsystem culture.
How long before Anderson defects to Reform?
I expect they are already waving bags of cash at him
Apparently Anderson won’t apologise because it would show weakness.
This is coming from a man too weak to vote against the government because Labour MPs were laughing at him in the lobby.
That's not exactly true
He said that apologising if you are wrong is a sign of strength
but doing it when you are RIGHT is a sign of weakness
so he won't apologise of retract it
In other words he is saying that he is right
If you just see what he said and swap anything to do with Islam to the equivalent Jewish word then the hate becomes more obvious
same applies to Black etc etc
e.g. the idea that London is being controlled by a secret group of Islamists - just replace it with "secret cabal of Jewish bankers" and we get an exact match for the old anti-Semitic tropes
Still - at least you know where you are with good old Lee
The man is an opportunist turd, starts out as a Labour Councillor, and, morphs into a Right wing Tory, very trustworthy, but... did he actually use the words "secret", or "cabal"?
