She also said that Muslims that do not support Israel in its relentless ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians and it’s genocidal acts in Gaza are “not welcome in the UK”. The fact that she had to single out Nigeria and cast aspertions on the character of no less than 50% of our population describing them as “Islamists” and alluding to the malicious falsehood that they are terrorists speaks volumes. One is constrained to ask whether the sheer lunacy of this repugnant woman has any limits.
On the quest for reparations for the slave trade Badenoch had the following to say.
“This is the past. We need to talk about the future. There are many countries now that want to use guilt to try and exploit the UK. They ask for reparations. I saw it as a Trade Minister. It’s not culture wars. I was at the WTO, I won’t name the Minister from another country and he was telling me that we needed to give up some of the things we were doing because of colonialism and because they needed time to develop.
These arguments are a scam. Don’t fall for it. We need to make sure that we put this country first. We work well with our neighbours, we work with other countries but we have to look after ourselves too.” Imagine this coming from a black African woman millions of who’s ancestors were enslaved and shipped off to the West! She is dumb, deaf and blind to the fact that those advocating for reparations rightly believe that the UK and the rest of the West should make up for the damage that they did through slavery.
@Africa.Echo put it well when they posted the following on X.
“Germany and the rest of the West continue to provide financial recompense to Israel but Kemi Badenoch believes Africans do not deserve reparations for decades of colonialism and centuries of enslavement”. If Kemi’s views about the quest for reparations does not open the eyes of Badenoch’s Nigerian cheerleaders nothing will. She also stands against multi-culturalism even though she is the Leader of the Opposition in a multi-cultural, multi-racial and multi-religious nation and she is married to a white English man.
What a contradiction!
She says she believes that “not all cultures are equally valid” and from her divisive rhetoric it is clear that she also believes that not all races are equally valid either.
An even greater contradiction is the fact that she is staunchly anti-immigration.
She asserts that “Britain must not be a sponge for migrants” forgetting that she is a first generation migrant and a beneficiary of the British immigration system that she now seeks to discredit. These contradictions and asinine assertions betray a level of perfidy, deceit, intellectual barrenes and scholarly ineptitude that beggars belief. Another display of her crass ignorance is her assertion that Nigeria, a country that she was raised in, has been run by “socialist Governments”.
This is arrant nonsense.
I guess her definition of “socialism” is anything that does not share her fascist, ultra-conservative, neo-colonialist and neo-imperialist views. The irony of it all is that despite her pretence at being more English than the English and more conservative than Enoch Powell, by the time the British right-wing finish using her they will flush her down the toilet like the turd that she is.
She deserves no better.
