Parliament is probably one of the few places in Britain, apart from maybe a NHS ‘diversity and inclusion’ unit, where a person can be as thick as mince but still get on. In Parliament, provided that you can get enough morons/uninformed/’communities’ or the brainwashed (delete not applicable according to the particular constituency) to vote for you, then it doesn’t matter whether or not you are thick as mince or a deranged ideologue or even act like a clown, you will still pick up £81.9k per year for four years until either the voters realise they’ve been had and vote you out or continue to vote you in and return you to the Commons.
One good example of an MP who is as thick as a refrigerated lorry full of mince is the MP for Leeds East, Richard Burgon. How on earth this slippery specimen of humanity ever managed to get a degree in English and become a solicitor is beyond me. Guido Fawkes once referred to him as a ‘Corbyinista simpleton over his decision to appear on a Russian state propaganda channel whilst holding the law and order brief for Labour and for decrying politics as being a closed club whilst failing to remember that his path to becoming an MP was smoothed somewhat due to his uncle, Colin Burgon, also being an MP. It must be the height of stupidity to decry the idea of politics as being a closed club whilst also allegedly being the beneficiary of those already in that club, it’s the sort of comment that leaves a lot of hostages to fortune and to claims of hypocrisy from ones opponents.
In addition to being a bit stupid, Richard Burgon has also shown a considerable degree of political cowardice over gender issues. Burgon appears to be so worried about ‘offending’ the teensy tiny minority of trans-cult activists who have managed to garner themselves a lot of influence in the Labour Party that he not only throws genetic women under the proverbial bus, but can’t even declare whether or not the correct phrase to describe a pregnant woman or ‘pregnant person’. To use a well known Yiddish phrase, Burgon has decided that it is politically expedient to become a ‘Tuchas Lekker’ (arse licker) towards the extremes of the trans cult and evade the biological truth about pregnancy.
Spiked, the online magazine, referring to the subject of a recent televisual performance by Richard Burgon in which Burgon was asked to comment on language used in a bill regarding maternity services said:
Not for the first time, Labour MP Richard Burgon is confused.
This week, appearing on the BBC’s Politics Live, Burgon repeatedly refused to say whether maternity law should refer to the pregnant ‘woman’ or pregnant ‘person’. He said the question was a ‘distraction’.
Spiked added:
Pushed on the issue, Burgon said, ‘this is the kind of culture debate that the right-wing press have tried to run in the 1980s’. For him, the issue of what defines a woman – upon which all women’s sex-based rights depend – is apparently nothing more than the product of a tabloid hate campaign.
What a greasy, evasive little coward Burgon appears to be. It would not have cost him much to tell the truth, which is that only genetic women can get pregnant. Yes, it might have caused some lunatics at the far fringes of the trans-cult to get upset, but it’s important to remember that these types will get upset about absolutely anything you could care to name. Some of them are probably offended by the names of the days of the week, they are that snowflakey and ‘out there’.
He runs scared of a tiny minority of those who are not only permanently offended but offended by everything and also running scared of a cult that has no qualms about bullying those who disagree with them. Saying and acknowledging that only women can get pregnant is not the ‘product of a tabloid hate campaign’, it is scientific fact. The fact that Burgon cannot bring himself to say that and instead evades and swerves, should tell us all that we need to know about the current Labour member for Leeds East. The people of Leeds East deserve better than to be represented by a person so in thrall to identity politics and so evasive and, yes thick, that they cannot even bring themselves to say the phrase ‘only women can get pregnant’. Richard Burgon shows why no sane person should ever again vote for the Labour Party.
“How on earth this slippery specimen of humanity ever managed to get a degree in English …. ”
Perhaps because he was taught by Terry Eagleton by the arch-Marxist Professor of English or any of the other Marxist clones in academia?
“How on earth this slippery specimen of humanity ever managed to […] become a solicitor is beyond me.”
The legal profession is home to some of the most venal human beings on the planet. The aim of members of the profession is to get maximum money from their clients, and they don’t let the truth get in the way.
There are exceptions of course, but here are some more prominent members of the legal profession.
Keir Starmer
Lady Hale
Lord Denning
Judge Jeffries
Anna Soubry
Dominic Grieve
Tony and Cherie Blair (and friends)
Ambulance Chasers
Members of The European Court of Justice – They ruled that it was discriminatory for women to pay lower insurance costs just because statitistically they were less likely to make claims.
Members of the European Court of Human Rights – They ruled that states could punish its citizens if other citizens might get upset if the truth were told about islam.
The legal profession is the ideal home if you have no moral qualms about what you to achieve your own selfish aims.
….
I find it interesting how these loons blame all their insanity on the extreme right wing that exists nowhere outside their own heads. Those who live inside their insane alternative reality are totally dependent upon intimidating people to the point where they are terrified of pointing out that yet another emperor is naked.
What do you call 500 lawyers at the bottom of the sea?
A good start.
As someone who has worked in courts as a reporter, I must admit I’ve seen some damned good lawyers in my time, intelligent people and individuals in command of their brief, so I would not ‘do a Shakespeare’ Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2 on them all. But there’s some awful shits among the left side of the legal profession that’s for sure, people who would crap on their own grandmothers if it got them the applause of fellow lefty lawyers.
Lawyers are I’m afraid a necessity in a society built around laws, just like condoms are essential in a world where there are sexually transmitted diseases, I just wish there were more honest and ethical ones working in fields such as human rights who didn’t only see one side of a story but also considered the impact of their ‘clients’ on the wider society.
I say old chap, but comparing Burgon to a tasty piece of mince is a bit off. Thick as pig sh1t is far more appropriate considering the absolute b011ocks he comes out with.
Aha but the problem there is that pig shit is of use as a fertilizer. Burgon on the other hand….
Lawyer: David Lammy, Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh…. – Parliament infested with these failed thick dishonest creatures
I propose a ban on lawyers standing for election
Fattty Burgon on the other hand…. is ideal fuel for a warming fire
I wouldn’t ban lawyers from standing for election but I would like to see more non-lawyers in Parliament either in the Commons or the Lords. I can think of one use for Burgon, that is working in an environment where he is constantly being asked ‘Can I have fries with that?’
I live in Bradford, so out of interest I looked up Leeds East. I can’t believe that trans nonsense goes down to well in Gipton, Seacroft and especially Harehills…
I suspect that although those in those areas do not share Burgon’s obsession/fear of the extremists of the trans cult, his views are more than made up for by Burgon’s record in hating on Israel. https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/richard-burgon-i-certainly-did-not-lie-over-zionism-comments/
From the same Spiked article:
Labour MP Stella Creasy is mixed up, too. Speaking on the BBC’s Today programme this morning, she also dodged the issue, saying, ‘It is a moment of privilege to be concerned about the drafting of the bill rather than the scope of the bill’.
WHAT?
How can one not be concerned with the scope of a bill your are drafting? At least assuming you have IQ a tad larger than your shoe size.
No wonder the law of the land is in such a mess with the Creasey’s of the world being soooooo excited over drafting legislation without worrying about what it says.
