Cabinet minister David T.C. Davies faces a police investigation for an election leaflet allegedly using racist language to attack Labour’s plans to put a traveller site in his constituency. The Mail has more.
Complaints were made to both Gwent Police and the Equality and Human Rights Commission after David T.C. Davies, the Welsh Secretary, distributed a campaign leaflet about proposed housing sites for travellers.
The Conservative MP for Monmouth has been accused of using racist language in the leaflet, which was titled: “Gypsy and traveller site coming to your area soon!” In the document, he alleged that the Labour-controlled council is looking to build several traveller sites without enough public consultation.
He also wrote that the council is planning a short consultation “during the summer holiday period when many residents will be unable to participate”.
Locals were asked a number of questions including “Would you like to see a traveller site next to your house?” According to the Times, police have confirmed they are looking into the leaflet.
Detective Inspector Steve Thomas said: “Officers are reviewing the content of the leaflet and its impact on the gypsy and traveller and settled communities in Monmouthshire.
“We take any allegation of discrimination extremely seriously and we’re committed to ensuring our communities are safe places and welcoming for all.” The charity Travelling Ahead, which works with gypsies and travellers, said the MP was carrying out “dog-whistle actions intended to create a hostile environment”.

Wake up, my Norwegians. Wake up. For the sake of the bairns. This is not what the Heroes of Telemark fought for. My heart rips apart.
My first thoughts are how cruel. And there is a strong, malicious cruelty element to this blatant attempt at brainwashing. However, the Norwegian government is in grave danger of making itself a laughing stock. Sino Sunak, useless though he is, has scuppered the pro NPI argument good and proper so the Nogs (as they were known in my student days) are out on a limb with this garbage. Will they roll it back? Probably not but they will become and remain silly looking clowns for pursuing this Orwellian type propoganda.
This really is a case of when in a hole….
A bit of humour as the work from home week comes to a close.
Norway’s the sort of country that has a training camp on an island run by a left wing political party. We’d never have heard about it if a psycho hadn’t committed mass murder there one time. It’s another basket case of a country like Canada.
True, but don’t single Norway out for this sort of shyte. It’s everywhere. In this country, for example, it’s called “school” and “uni”, and even “scouts”.
Oh, I’m not. I’ve condemned most countries in the world. I believe we need a modern diaspora: we need new countries. People who want a health security state can move to one continent. People who prize liberty and risk can move to another. Let Joe Biden become President of the US of Europe and the former FBI can restart the Gestapo in Germany. The rest of us can move to the USA and live under the US Constitution, unfettered by Democrats who want to destroy it!
Hear, hear! But I wouldn’t put too much faith in that constitution… remember, we are governed not by laws, nor even by anti-laws (as I see the US Constitution) – but by convention!
No vaccine can ever protect against infection with a pathogen. That’s a ludicrous propositon. For the immune system to act against something, it must be there to begin with, ie, it must have infected the body first.
The education sector is rife with the most rabid collectivists.
It’s a refuge for the mediocre who scrounge for status by lording it over children, who are the least able in society to stand up to them.
That is certainly not an indictment of all or even most people in the industry, but even those who aren’t that way share responsibility for allowing the worst elements to hijack the system and impose their horrid ideas.
Indeed. Hitler cultivated the children, and fostered an image of animal-loving, benevolent Uncle…
Absolutely not. Hitler wanted military discipline for children as early as feasible and regarded himself as the highest authority of command in the hierarchically organized state/ society.
I think the only thing many of those children are going to learn, as did we adults, is that governments and their agencies cannot be trusted. They cannot be trusted to tell the truth or to put the interests of citizens above those of big pharma and other corrupt globalist forces. The tide is slowly but surely turning against those who propagated and maintain the lies around covid. If I were them, I would start worrying about that day of reckoning when they will be held responsible for deceitful and callous behaviour
They could have included a list of modern euphemisms and the equivalent meaning, e.g. “adverse reaction” = “injury”, and so on.
‘The Science’ is not Science.
Of course it’s not so much about whether something is “misinformation” as such, but whether or not it is government approved information. Didn’t they used to do something similar in the Soviet Union? I hear that Chinese dissidents are sending information to the poor oppressed peoples of the Western “democracies” on how to survive the new totalitarianism…
