Alex Jones: British MP Sajid Javid Is Part Of The 'Islamic Takeover'

Admittedly this is relatively time-worn news, but because Conservative MP for Bromsgrove, Sajid Javid, has thrown his hat into the ring to become the leader of the Conservative Party since Theresa May’s recent resignation, it needs to be repeated.

Javid has hilariously been compared to former American President, Barack Obama, by Forbes magazine, and like basically any Tory Member of Parliament, he has been embroiled in controversy throughout his career.

Javid has previously made absurd statements such as labelling progressive, Corbyn-supporting, activist group, Momentum, as ‘neo-fascist’ and had to backtrack on a tweet he posted claiming that Jeremy Corbyn is linked with Holocaust denial.

In comes renowned conspiracy theorist, Alex Jones and his “news” show Infowars, both of which have been banned from more platforms than I’ve had hot dinners. In a tweet, Jones claimed that Javid is evidently part of the “Islamic takeover”, which is something that only exists in the imagination of the far-right, who claim that Europe is slowly being taken over by Muslims and us poor white folks will cease to exist.

Jones’ assertion is laughable in a myriad of ways, including the sheer ridiculousness of such thought. Firstly, Javid is the current Home Secretary, meaning that he has been put in charge of the UK’s post-Brexit immigration policy and has planned to slash EU immigration by 80% in last December’s Brexit immigration White Paper - how can those evil Muslims launch their takeover if the British government are aiming to cut the number of net immigration below 10,000, Alex!?

Javid is also a harsh critic of basically any form of Palestinian liberation or resistance to the Israeli occupation and is one of the staunchest supporters of Israel in the current Conservative cabinet. Sajid has previously claimed that out of any country in the Middle East, he would consider Israel as home and has even gone as far to use his political power to stop any local UK councils from imposing boycotts of Israel.

Former Head of the Conservative Party, Sayeeda Warsi, a fellow Muslim who has spoken out about the issue of Islamophobia within the party, has accused Javid of using dog-whistle politics: “he should read what these people are saying, because no matter how much he dog-whistles, no matter how much he panders to the right of our party, sadly the right of our party believe he’s far too Muslim to be the leader of the party.”

This just shows you how utterly hateful Alex Jones and his ilk are, that all of this explanation and nuance went straight over Jones’ head and instead he decided to fear monger about the religion Javid was born into instead of delving into his actual political beliefs.

MSNBC Host Lawrence O'Donnell Explains How The Democratic Party Treats The Left

MSNBC's "The Last Word" host Lawrence O'Donnell describes his politics as a "practical European socialist", which essentially boils down to being a nordic-style social democrat, usually in favour of a mixed economy with a generous welfare state and has defended his positions on MSNBC news shows that typically frown upon stepping outside the neoliberal bubble. O'Donnell is no progressive hero in the context of american politics, sometimes scolding progressive politicians whenever they mildly criticize the Democratic Party, such as when Bernie Sanders tweeted about having to take on the Democratic establishment as well as Republicans, O'Donnell decided to concern troll Sanders by claiming that the Democratic establishment wouldn't pass Sanders' proposals if he wasn't nice to them. Over the course of the last few months an old video of O'Donnell explaining how to move the Democratic Party further left and how the party treats the p...

Why The Labour Party Lost The UK Election

Whichever way you approach the recent UK election, it would be fair to say that the Labour Party experienced a drubbing, resulting in a loss of 60 seats and handing the Conservative Party a large parliamentary majority. There has however been a fierce debate surrounding the reasons for Labour’s defeat, reasons ranging from Brexit, Jeremy Corbyn himself or supposedly racist voters. This debate has deeply spilt the two main factions of the Labour Party, between moderates and progressives. Blairites vs Corbynistas if you will. Moderates place the blame solely at the feet of Jeremy Corbyn, his supposed anti-semitism and poor electability. Progressives see this defeat as a result of a Brexit backlash with many Leave voters leaving the Labour Party while the Conservative Party had one core message: “Get Brexit Done” which seemingly resonated. It is fair to suggest that Corbyn’s popularity isn’t exactly soaring, with the mere mention of his name bringing about a whole range of different...

Sally Albright: I'd Prefer 4 More Years Of Trump Than President Bernie Sanders

One of the main talking points used against Bernie Sanders and his supporters is that their lack of enthusiasm and support for Hillary Clinton in 2016 directly led to Donald Trump becoming president, with Sanders supporters being labelled as privileged and sexist for not backing Clinton, and yes that includes you misogynistic Jill Stein/Green Party voters! However, our favourite anti-Bernie Democratic loyalist, Sally Albright, now insists that it isn’t pivotal that you support the Democratic nominee in order to defeat Donald Trump, should Sanders win the 2020 Democratic nomination. Albright recently claimed that “ 4 more years of Trump would be better in the long run ” as opposed to a President Bernie Sanders. This comes after the “moderate” wing of the Democratic Party have spent the past three years suggesting that apathetic Sanders supporters are the cause of every terrible Trump decision and we’d be in a utopia if us sexists would have just fell in line behind Clinton. In ...
