Why on earth would he think he has any sway over what happens thousands of miles away in a conflict that has nothing to do with him?

I bet no one in Tel Aviv has even heard of the man.

And yet the delusion of grandeur is real...

I was watching the coverage last night and honestly cannot believe that people actually voted for him . 🤮

Boy George said war is stupid in the early 80s and its true. Jewish people have been welcomed to the UK as have Muslims for many decades so it's difficult to take sides on a religious basis. *srael as a country has been a sticking point from year dot, if they would only be as generous to share equally

Sorry Parrot but I suggest you pick up a history book and then come back to us.

I was just coming on to say that too...

NecessaryNC24 · 01/03/2024 17:20

Also Boy George was off his tits in the early 80s .

And chained a guy to a radiator. Not sure I'd be formulating international policy on the basis of anything he said.

Peeppuandpopo · 01/03/2024 17:27

Where are all the lefty gender criticals in the political wilderness. Now they can vote for someone who knows what a woman is lol…

@TheLonelyStarbucksLovers because he is an arrogant ignoramus who thinks the sun shines out his a*se!

He has brought disrepute to the whole cat population too - I’m sure they don't want to be associated with him

It's It's shame cats don't have voting rights 😉

bombastix · 01/03/2024 18:46

A very effective political hustler isn't he? Maybe less finesse than some in Westminster but he plays the game well enough.

lllllllllll · 01/03/2024 19:30

Sooo glad I don't live in Rochdale. Geez.

ginandbearit · 01/03/2024 19:47

I've never forgotten his bug eyed, drooling fawning over Saddam Hussein...I saw a weak man in awe of power and willing to be used in his service.

It was the will of the people!

We're told it matters in other circumstances so why not now?

yumyum33 · 01/03/2024 20:04

I just think of him purring like a cat when Rula Lenska was stroking him on Big Brother. A silly man but a dangerous one all the same. Stoking divisive hatred amongst communities.

newtlover · 01/03/2024 20:07

he writes that letter to Muslim constituents as if he was actually Muslim, is he?
if not its kind of disrespectful, maybe blasphemous?

AdamRyan · 01/03/2024 20:11

I'm really kind of meh. There were no credible candidates, turn out was ridiculously low. He's an independent MP in a parliament with a huge majority, he's going to make as much difference in parliament as a gnats fart. If we all ignore him he'll probably go away again.

He got married in an Islamic ceremony to his latest wife but I don’t think he’s confirmed if he’s converted.

This is the correct answer

Teentaxidriver · 01/03/2024 21:56

He is a grotesque individual: divisive, opportunistic, egotistical and misogynistic. In short, a politician.

Giggorata · 01/03/2024 22:14

I think he is a self important twat and yes, he is also a very effective political hustler.
He's not the first and won't be the last.
I sincerely hope he won't do any harm with his little bit of power.

Weonlyhavealoanofit · 01/03/2024 22:22

The people with power worry me far more than GG.

A lot of us can feel marginalised by lots of things, whatever our background but we are equal in the UK when it comes to free speech and the choice to live here in relative harmony. I'm not religious but have a live and let live attitude to those who are. You can build your places of worship and pray to your own God here but you need to adopt tolerance to fit in, wherever you're from. Life is far from perfect but we are lead to believe people come here to escape torture or worse from their own country. We need to live together with respect and understanding from all ways..so it means you may need to dial down your upheld beliefs

Why are some Jews living in the UK feeling so hard done by when people in Gaza are being mullered?

Yes, how dare people complain about feeling scared for their safety.

You're disgusting.
