Re: Fiona Onasanya

Other than to demonstrate the racist attitude of the OP, what relevance is there to the MP being black?

Re: Fiona Onasanya

I’m simply saying Dianne abbot has had a career no white politician would have been awarded , the two in the news of late if white I’m certain the press and public pressure would have relegated to the ‘ bin’ yet I’m certain in these PC times if you are black or LGBT then you can do no wrong as no one dare tackle you , one only has to look at all the grooming gangs in Yorkshire to see some people are left alone possibly a little to often in modern society because as soon as one says anything a PC IDIOT will straight away call you up on it as demonstrated in this very forum

Re: Fiona Onasanya

The probability is that Onasanya will serve only 6 weeks and continue to draw her MP's salary during that time and until the appeal has taken its course:

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...peeding-ticket

Fiona Onasanya did not react to the verdict but was taken away to immediately begin her sentence.

Under laws introduced in 2015, any prison term, even a suspended sentence, leads to a recall petition, which will be open for six weeks and can force a byelection if signed by 10% of voters in a constituency.

Because Onasanya, 35, has appealed against her conviction, this may not happen for several months. The recall petition cannot be opened until the appeal process has concluded.

It remains unclear whether Onasanya will stand down while in prison or continue to be paid as an MP. She can expect to be released after serving half of her sentence.

What racist attitude? Has someone mentioned the colour of this woman's skin?

Re: Fiona Onasanya

I fail to see how being in a position of trust .... heaven knows why we trust politicians however as they are bleeting daily ‘ you must trust we know better than you the great unwashed ‘ even the greatest untrustworthy man himself Tony Blair only today said we must trust politicians over brexit ... yet here we have one untrustworthy little shit who even when convicted in a court of law still expects to keep her job !!!!

You really couldn’t make it up yet here we are again


Here is Tony today saying we should trust a politician !!!!


Blair: MPs know best on Brexit
https://mol.im/a/6644175


Blair said the public had to trust politicians know more about the EU than they do




Here is another MP caught lying



https://www.theguardian.com/politics...rug-conviction



Hands up anyone who trusts a politician ????

The expenses scandal (fraud) demonstrably proved years ago that these self serving cretins can't be trusted.

Re: Fiona Onasanya

The title of the now absorbed thread - First black female mp ever . Overlooking the iffy grammar and the incomplete, misleading nature of the title, I ask again, what relevance is there to the MP's colour or, for that matter, gender?
