It has been 6 days now since the bigot from the South East Unownuzer717 made the now infamous ‘rapefugees’ and ‘Swedenistan’ remarks in a debate about giving over a million people the chance to live a radically different life in our country. Since then, he has been roundly condemned, both by my party and the other opposition parties. However, we have had near complete silence from the government - the closest we have came to any sort of action was the Prime Minister stating that Unownuzer should perhaps “reconsider his language” after being hounded about the matter at PMQs on Wednesday. As my Foreign Affairs spokesman wtench put it, the Prime Minister shouldn’t have told the bigot for the South East to reconsider his language but rather to reconsider his position. Unfortunately, the Prime Minister didn’t seem to want to answer my question about what he will actually bother to do about it - most likely because that answer is somewhere along the lines of “absolutely nothing”.

The bigot for the South East is rather unrepentant about his racist outburst - when he apologised for the act of signing the letter authored by Friedmanite and co, he was questioned about why he will apologise for that but would not apologise for the comments he made towards refugees and Sweden. His response was simply that he does not “do political correctness” and that “political correctness is killing this country” - what the bigot for the South East seems to be neglecting to notice is that an apology is not a matter of giving in to political correctness, but is rather a matter of being a decent person.

If a member of my party made such racist comments, they would be expelled from the Classical Liberals virtually instantly. Indeed, back when I was the Leader of UKIP and therefore tasked with leading a party which seemed to attract islamophobes before they buggered off to the National Unionists (indeed, Unownuzer is one of these islamophobes from UKIP who then went to the NUP), I faced a situation where one of my MPs stated in a Parliamentary debate something along the lines of “no Muslim can be a decent person” - within minutes of stating that, he was expelled from UKIP - a decision I still stand by to this day. If the National Unionists were willing to actually show that they aren’t a racist party, they would have expelled Unouwnuzer for his comments. They didn’t. Indeed, no member of the NUP rose to challenge Unownuzer for those comments - nobody disavowed them - they just tried to move on like nothing happened, and this was a normal occurrence - which granted, it probably is at NUP conference. Such is life in the NUP, a party which can trace its heritage all the way back to early attempts at forming a party named the “British Union of Fascists”, through to the Nationalist Party who supported the idea of repatriation of immigrants, and also authored a motion claiming that only 300,000 Jews were killed in the Holocaust, and now into the present day where they are willing for an MP and a cabinet member to make openly racist statements in Parliament. It is now clear that the logo, name, and colours have changed, but the underlying bigotry remains.

That type of behaviour is expected from the NUP, but surely the Conservatives would step in and say that enough’s enough right? Evidently not. The closest we have come to any sort of condemnation is the response of the Prime Minister at PMQs which was incredibly weak and non-committal. As much as the Conservatives may wish otherwise, the actions of their coalition partners do come back to them, especially when they are so unwilling to publicly distance themselves from those actions. It is time that the Conservatives grew a spine, and told their NUP colleagues that they aren’t willing to tolerate racism in any shape or form, and that the bigot for the South East isn’t welcome in cabinet anymore.

I’m aware that such an action could trigger the end of the coalition, but if you are unwilling to end a coalition with racists, then you are one of two things - racist or spineless. By refusing to take action against racism on their doorstep, the government are proving themselves to be lacking in principles and scared of the response of the racists. These same far-right racists enjoy the use of the word ‘cuck’ an inordinate amount - indeed the bigot for the South East said that “the political correctness of cucks like you is exactly why we have got the problem of young girls raping and sexually assaulting our girls and getting away with it” to me in response to the initial Classical Liberals condemnation of his racism - another fine example of why he is unsuitable to be an MP. So, I think I’ll use that word for a change - by refusing to take action on the racism of the NUP, the Conservatives are being cucked by the NUP.

The Conservatives now have an important choice to make - they can either take a stand and sack the bigot from the South East from his role (which involves negotiating trade deals with “Swedenistan” and the countries where “rapefugees” come from) and take whatever flak comes their way from his racist colleagues in the NUP, but in so doing show that they have a backbone and a series of principles, or they can continue to do nothing and out themselves as cowards. The choice up to them, but I sure know what option I’d pick.
