Kemi just called us all stupid..again

You might want to check out the news. Iranian spies have been arrested in North London. That's a Jewish community by the way.

Why there is not more coverage or concern about the murders and attempted murders of our British Jewish citizens is a matter of national disgrace.

We were more bothered by Russians murdering dissidents on our soil than we are about British Jews being targeted. Perhaps the fact the murderers and wannabe murderers of Jews are all Muslims is making people coy about naming these racist murders for what they are. I'm pretty bloody sure there would be more outcry is the murderers of Jews were all white supremecists.

The voters are stupid, they voted in their millions for Brexit, totally daft.

I'll be voting conservative thanks to Kemi Badenoch. I think she is brilliant.

Interestingly, even Reform voters are somewhat lukewarm on this one.

I think she has a point. We are the people who voted for BREXIT and the people that are putting FARAGE ahead in the polls. Go figure.

Speaking as someone who doesn't have a problem with the US and Israel doing this, she's out of step with the country. And it's a bad political move for her.

There's a gap on the right for a party catering to people who aren't trying to climb into Trump's arse crack. The sort of right winger who thinks GB News is stupid and doesn't spend loads of time sharing own the libs social media videos. It would be wise to try and move into that. She's also clearly opening herself up to criticism here because the UK are not in a good place for military action and that follows the austerity decisions made by her party.

Yes, the British public who vote.

I mean, we had a shit Tory government which trashed the country for 14 years and we voted for the monumental act of self harm when we opted for Brexit, so it's pretty hard to construct a case that the British electorate are actually well informed and understand what they're voting for.

I mean, it's somewhat ironic that KB decides to highlight the ignorance of much of the electorate now when the majority of people happen to disagree with her, and I've no doubt that she will consider the electorate to be wise all-knowing as soon as she has any inkling that public opinion seems to be backing her up.

The reality is, the majority of the electorate won't know much about the complexities of the ME, any more than they understand economics or many of the other things that they might be asked for opinions on. And the majority won't be that bothered about trying to learn either.

I don't agree with anything she says, however, I kind of love listening to her. Her weird, slow voice is quite calming. I feel like she would make a good nurse or sleep app.

I've never voted Tory but Kemi Badenoch is the only party leader who makes any sense, and one of the few politicians I can bear to listen to these days.

If there was an election tomorrow I would vote Con to support her.

This, 100%. Is KB just extremely inexperienced or incredibly thick? I can't work it out. She's an utter embarrassment.

Can't we say no now and build up our defences? We are not under any direct threat at the moment.

The British public who vote? Is she saying the electorate is generally politically unaware and unable to properly assess the current situation? That anyone who is against us joining a war just doesn’t know enough?

The same British public they thought were politically smart enough to give the Conservatives a huge majority with Boris at the helm?

How anyone can’t see she is calling us stupid with her comments is beyond me.

We let our military deteriorate to such an extent that our only choice is to keep the Americans happy.

If we want choices, we need to build up our defence capabilities so that we are strong enough to say no, as Harold Wilson did when he said no to participation in Vietnam.

Why do you say that?

There’s more than the blatantly apparent going on, obviously not understood by many

Could you explain a bit more on this, so we can understand better?

KB wouldn't know a principle if it introduced itself !

Exactly this, in my first post I mention China alongside Venezuela. There’s more than the blatantly apparent going on, obviously not understood by many.

I would repeat that yes, the baddies will be on our doorstep unless we defend our own interests in whatever way, not necessarily by entering conflict.
And ScholesPanda, don’t patronise my use of the term ‘baddies’. Hezbollah are joining in, and others will react accordingly. None of us want it, but it’s a changing time. Let’s hope that the change is just not being able to so easily afford fuel.

Do you not think she is privy to more information than is in the public domain?

A fraction of the time in the sense that a stopped clock is correct twice a day. Not in this instance and not according to the British public.

Yes, she's an opportunist and she thinks she has spotted a good attack line.

I have the distinct impression that this is more about point scoring than principle.

About what, exactly?

Kemi is correct.

She's trying to embarrass KS. She's moving closer to Reform. It allows her to cos-play Thatcher on a tank. It gets her airtime.

As for Badenoch, she is so far out of her depth someone needs to chuck her a rubber ring and a pair of armbands.
