Whilst conveniently ignoring transgressions on the beaches...

This lot are blaming everyone but themselves while Johnson hides.

Every Conservatives member is a disgrace. ToryCorruption ToryLiesCostLives ToryGenocide BorisJohnsonresignnow ToriesOut

Katheri40223003 BAME actually decent families NOT blind drunk pubs+raves!

Ofcoursebecause people cannot face the truth

Simmer down with the unmitigated subterfuge and deflections of the Tories in England. Shame on them for neglecting the Welfare of the British and other Commonwealth countries People.

...remind us where those individual lockdowns have had to be imposed..?...Leicester comes to mind..!!!

Don't use such gentle language next time.

Truth hurts

Shitt, he's probably applauded by Tories behind the screens

Sometimes the truth hurts

willbeyourvoice But only 'branded a disgrace online'. Not by his party, not by Boris. & It should be reported as a Racist comment, not just 'a disgrace'. Media please start calling it what it is: Racism.

I didn't see anyone ever take blame for this either.

GailNie86965461 Tory MP branded ‘a disgrace’ for telling the truth

Except, the pub I manage is full of WHITE and BRITISH virus deniers. £&ers the whole lot. Only God knows what they get up to when they aren't getting £& faced. So proud of my staff NOT wearing masks though. No worker should wear a mask for a 8 to 14h shift!

Things that didn’t age well......🤡

Blimey, I hadn't realised Scummings was BAME

God, they are so dumb, dumb and dangerous.

Does he blame his father and Cummings for behaving irrespinsibly or even himself for betraying how many marriages vows? People in glass houses comes to mind!

He is a dusgrace .He blunders ,blatgers punches the air and utters confusing messages ,changes his mind ,stands up for the corrupt and then wonders why some people are confused and some think well if they can do it so can we

Dominic Cummings Lockdown Special is what the government prescribes for the people of Britain. ☠️

If only their leader hadn’t taken the piss with his trip to Barnard Castle

...isn’t it true then..?

Well he isn't wrong🤣

He's 100% correct.

Check what the figures show before criticising

Bit of a step up for a Tory MP only to be a disgrace.

But was he right?

Huh. I don’t recall BAME communities ignoring WHO in January, locking down too late, failing to provide NHS staff PPE, allowing 20m people to enter the UK without quarantine, failing to reach testing targets and releasing a track and trace app that doesn’t work...

There are three problems 1) people that won’t wash 2) people that won’t wear masks 3) people that won’t space out

So the crowds on Bournemouth beach were BAME and the pubs were also full of BAME. Conservatives are good at creating divisions.

Preaching tolerance to silence reason and any concern is labeled as hate. The greatest weapon in the hand of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed. Steve Biko

What were you expecting BorisJohnson is now GaslightingPM he is utterly useless he has been since he took office does anyone honestly think David_Cameron or theresa_may could not have been better leaders in the worst crisis since Suez, I say Boris Should resign now

There are issues that can’t be discussed properly because of fear of being accused of being a racist

Indian here. Our family takes it seriously, but I hear plenty of stories of others in the community not doing so. Much less seriously than white people frankly. I don't get it. We have higher rates of heart disease and diabetes yet people aren't taking responsibility.

The amount from all supposed “at risk” categories not taking it seriously is ridiculous. ESP on transport. It should have been actively enforced from the start of public transport lift. No mask - get out of the station.

Wait till he proves it 🤣

He's right...

Former Tory MP Charlie Elphicke guilty of sexual assaultThe former Conservative MP has been found guilty of three counts of sexual assault at Southwark Crown Court. Given Natalie Elphicke MP stood on her husband behalf at the last election she must now resign her seat, it is an insult to his victims that the Conservatives let her take his place in parliment. The fact that your front page headline was ‘Naughty Tory’ was dumped by wife is a disgrace. Why say that Why not ‘Sex pest Tory... ‘ if you need to stay tabloid? Or ‘Sex criminal Tory’? By putting the ‘naughty’ word in the headline you are totally belittling what happened.
