MP Natalie Elphicke is disgraceful!

[blaisealex]

MP for Dover and Deal Natalie Elphicke said in a chat to Tory MPs, "They lost - would it be ungenerous to suggest Rashford should have spent more time perfecting his game and less time playing politics."

Utterly disgusting and shameful from the Tory MP who's Husband Charlie Elphicke went to Prison for being a Sexual Predator. She also sold the story to The Sun for £25,000. She spends the majority of her time going on about 'illegal immigrants' coming into Dover on Dingys than actually tackling the issues that Dover has as the 4th most deprived area in Kent.

AIBU to think she is disgusting?

When a 23 yo is suffering racist abuse and he is receiving it in a constant stream, a non-racist might think 'bloody hell that penalty was a piece of shit but the poor lad is suffering, I'll shut my mouth and sit on my hands'. A racist will think 'ha ha time to stick the boot in'. The words don't have to be actively racist to signal the person's intent.

@StMarysKettle twisting the knife into a young sportsman who has just been racially abused, what a delightful public servant. Her response smacks of bigotry.

If Rashford was “playing politics”, then WELL PLAYED you superstar. Children fed beats everything.

Disgusting person, she makes me heave.

BTW can't sign the petition..

Very well said.

She's a sad, small, mean spirited, snippy, poor example of a person.

"playing at politics" NO doing something rather great that he can be proud of for the rest of his life.

It's made my blood boil all day that this was her response to Rashford missing the penalty.

As small minded as it gets. And smacks of jealousy. More talent and decency in his one boot than anything she can offer.

@MrsTerryPratchett excellent post!
