“In one email sent to Ghani, Proudfoot wrote: “It is widely accepted that the country is being dragged down by certain undisciplined immigrants and the British people demand a resolution. Should we allow immigrants to be elected to our parliament?”
““Do we not have 650 men and women of heritable British people that are intelligent enough to run our country? We want to be controlled by our own people, not people from a different culture.”
“In correspondence sent in June 2017, which was copied to John Redwood and Javid, Proudfoot forwarded an email claiming “the British have passively succumbed to the Muslim invasion” and added that its content was “95% right”.
“He wrote: “Immigrants coming here think they have won the lottery but they rarely integrate … We finish with ghettoes like little Pakistans. Can anyone say that Enoch Powell wasn’t right with his ‘rivers of blood’ speech?”
Immigrants were also compared by Proudfoot to a “swarm of locusts” that he said should be “chemically sprayed or the wheat plants are stripped bare and eaten”.

I post these merely to reflect that the incidents are not isolated, even though these are just the ones that happen to have come into my feed.
Also the evidence of a revolving door approach pointing to attitudes in HQ.
Anti Semitism and Islamaphobia makes our country meaner.

It makes it more dangerous, unkind, humiliating for those at the receiving end, but because no man is an island unto himself it drops poison into all our lives.
We all need to pay attention and stop some “whataboutery” I see in threads (even this one) right in its tracks.
