Exclusive: dossier on 25 current and former councillors adds to pressure on Boris Johnson to launch independent inquiry

...
The disclosure that 15 current and 10 former Tory councillors have posted, shared or endorsed Islamophobic or other racist content on Facebook or Twitter will increase pressure on Boris Johnson after he backtracked on a pledge to hold an independent inquiry into the issue.

Inflammatory posts recorded in the dossier, which has been sent to the party’s headquarters, include calls for mosques to be banned, claims the faith wants to “turn the world Muslim”, referring to its followers as “barbarians” and “the enemy within”.

In 2017, one councillor, who has been pictured with Johnson, endorsed a suggestion that all aid to Africa helping feed starving people should stop, allowing “mother nature take her course”. She replied: “It’s nature’s way of depopulation.”
...
Sayeeda Warsi, who has been calling for the party to hold an independent inquiry into Islamophobia, said she was appalled by the comments in the dossier. “These further divisive and racist comments by elected Conservative councillors are a further indication of the issue of Islamophobia in the party,” she said.

1. No wonder Bibi backs the Tories

He wants his ethnic cleansing, and he doesn't want any of the world's leading countries to complain.

He already has Cheeto on board.

2. I doubt that Bibi is following our election at all

He has enough problems at home and is not trying to rule the entire world! Just to stay in power and out of jail.

And it's more a matter of Cheeto having *him* on board. Both Boris and Bibi are toeing Trump's line to the detriment of their own countries long-term. Boris was anti-Trump when he was mayor of London, but now he's turned a complete 180.

Unfortunately, the Brexiteer Tories are seeking the ex-UKIP. 'Enoch woz right!' types, who are full of Islamophobic and other xenophobic spite.
