Labour Regional Mayor: Boris Johnson ‘Completely Deserves’ Coronavirus
Breitbart ^ | 04/08/20

Posted on 04/08/2020 9:36:02 AM PDT by BenLurkin

Mayor of Heanor in Derbyshire and Labour district councillor Sheila Oakes had responded to a Facebook post in a party group asking people to say a “little prayer” to Prime Minister Johnson who was admitted to the intensive care unit of St Thomas’ hospital in London on Monday after his condition had worsened.

Miss Oakes had written on the social media platform: “Sorry, he completely deserves this, and he is one of the worst PMs we’ve ever had.”

After backlash on social media, the Amber Valley Labour Group withdrew the party whip from Oakes, and she is no longer a Labour member. The group’s leader, Chris Emmas-Williams, said that there would be a party investigation into the mayor’s conduct.

Appearing astounded that so many people could have been offended by her remarks, she told the BBC: “I didn’t think what I said would upset so many people."

:”Appearing astounded that so many people could have been offended by her remarks, she told the BBC: “I didn’t think what I said would upset so many people.””

Unbelievable feigned ignorance has replaced the “Sorry if I offended anyone” ‘apology’.

Huge difference between English Labour party and American Democrats. The Labour party punished this vile person. The American Democrat party would celebrate and promote someone so vile.

I just remember all the disgusting things they said about Lady Thatcher when she passed away.

I’m sure the Mayor of London, Saddiq Khan, would wish the same for the PM.

Comintern is alive and well (but not even Russia is in it anymore).

I think liberals who make offensive remarks, for the most part, are amazed that what they said raised any ire. They truly believe what they say. Further, they believe that “everybody” else feels the same way. Therefore, who could possibly be offended?

You only have to talk for a half hour with a liberal to find out they truly see a different world than a conservative.
