Both Labour and the Tories get it very wrong in Kensington and disgrace themselves with their truly offensive conduct
On Monday, the political blog Guido Fawkes exposed the new Member of Parliament for Kensington, Emma Dent Coad, as having viciously called a black Tory candidate named Shaun Bailey as a “token ghetto boy,” “gobby and dangerous,” a “free-loading scumbag” and “the most hated man in North Kensington” back in 2010 in a post on her blog.
Two stories to keep beside you
Troubled Tories
Matthew Steeples suggests that the Conservatives should stop attacking one another and focus on getting out of the coalition The Conservative Party needs to get its house in order instead of allowing in-fighting to dominate the headlines. The priority for David Cameron has to be ending their coalition with the wishy-washy Liberals, beating Labour […]
Bitter Bailey
The Evening Standard’s interview with leading member of “The Club” photographer David Bailey is surprise, surprise nothing but a suck-up to a talented yet pompous prick of a man suggests Matthew Steeples On Monday, the Evening Standard published an interview with a man they termed “the original bad boy photographer”, David Bailey.

Elsewhere, on Twitter, various users shared a survey circulated by Kensington, Chelsea and Fulham Conservatives that disgustingly asked residents of the Courtfield Ward to rate the importance of the Grenfell Tower tragedy on a scale of one-to-ten in terms of its importance.
One is only left asking: What on earth is wrong with these moronic people? Have they not an ounce of sense?

Emma Dent Coad REMEMBER, REMEMBER was on the TMO herself. She goes on and on and on about Grenfell like she’s some kind of Saint. She ain’t. She’s as bad as Lady Borwick in terms of laziness and REMEMBER, REMEMBER, she only got to become MP because of her predecessor’s laziness. Next time round, someone able to show this laziness will whack her into the marshes and we’ll all say good riddance.
WTF????????????? Emma Dent Coad is a cross between a pig in a poke and the cat that got the cream and the liver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She needs hosing down before the Devil has her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dirty wench!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Emma DC only speaks what the majority of the populous thinks. She is a force for change and she will help fuel the revolution, as she says, one cupcake at a time. There are crackpots in this country too and you plainly fall into their number. Crackpots should not be allowed to write and crackpots should not be allowed to rule. All hail the era of the cupcake crackpot beater.
Have Kensington Conservatives not learned? They got kicked out because they chose a candidate with more interest in cabinets (antique) than constituents and then they send out this survey. Tory HQ should impose order on them and disband the lot.
Mostly she opens her mouth before the brain is engaged, then when she is taken to task over what comes out, she tries to blame others and says she was taken out of context. As for Sally of happy valley, she argues that DC only speaks what the majority of the populous thinks, how on earth would she know what the majority thinks? Your correct Sally, you shouldn’t be allowed to write or rule.
But that was NOT what she said. Guido Fawkes has completely twisted her words. If you read her actual blog post, she said that Bailey referred to himself as “gobby and dangerous” and it was one of Bailey’s neighbours who allegedly called him a “freeloading scumbag”. Emma’s whole article is about her challenging the “token ghetto boy” image that he has occasionally portrayed.
Disappointed that you bought into this particular smear campaign.
She should NEVER have written that article. It is a disgrace and she has been forced to apologise.
