Kemi Badenoch’s 'The Right Way' is the wrong way. By looking at what Badenoch does not say in her new description of what it is to be a Conservative, I show that this is a charter for abuse that is riddled with arrogant inconsistencies. youtu.be/AB7Nid-tTFA?...

One from the archives (July 2023) "Is it representative of your impartiality to consistently call Israel an apartheid state?" "Its representative of the facts" ".. so you're.. saying Israel is a racist state?" "Yes" The head of Amnesty is clear. Israel is an apartheid state

There is nothing racist about any ethnic or religious group wanting their own homeland. The problem is if this desire is at the expense of another people. Zionism in practise meant "a homeland at the expense of Palestinians". It's really not hard to grasp this basic point!
