This form of bigotry is acceptable now in Britain. So much so that it’s rife in our governing party, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

What Tory members think matters. Their party is in government. They select parliamentary candidates who go on to vote on legislation and become ministers, and they exert pressure on them through local Conservative associations. They are now electing the nation’s prime minister. So when evidence of racism is uncovered among their ranks, it should be regarded as a national scandal.

OwenJones84 Dont expect to hear about it on the BBC aka tory tv.

So the media is bias

Well if we didn't know before, we certainly know now that Owen Jones is an obedient servant of the Corbyn cult. I actually buy the Guardian and I object to having my time wasted, not to mention the waste of paper on fawning columns by him or Dawn Foster.

This is disgusting, one does not excuse the other. How ? Why ? And enough!

It's a fair question. I suspect that the answer is that there is only so much outrage bandwidth in the world and most of it is currently being used up on AS in Labour. Understandably. And saying 'Yeah Labour has an AS problem but what about Tory Islamophobia?' doesn't wash ATM.

Labour has had a jewish person as leader, has the conservative party ever had a islamic person as theirs.

OwenJones84 'Look over there, a squirrel!'.

Fear of Islam is logical and rational.

No such thing as Islamophobia, invented by Islamists and their fellow-travelling socialist pals, jealous of Jews ability to turn criticism into hate.

Two wrongs do not make a right!!

OwenJones84 What is worse is the complete and utter silence on the issue of Islamophobia from the Muslim Conservatives MPs and members. Truly shameful

Damage control.

OwenJones84 Such hypocrisy from the Conservatives who attack the Labour Party on antisemitism whilst ignoring the deep rooted hate and islamophobia that is deep rooted within the Conservatives

This is your paper’s response to all the backing you give to the vile leftists and Islamist hatred backed UKLabour ? For shame on your awful paper!

Where is the outrage about disconcerting facts like the one about more British Muslims going off to fight for ISIS (around 800) than served in the British army. (445 active service personnel in 2015).

So weird how this came out on the exact same day as the Panorama documentary

It’s been normalised - see comments below for examples

Islamophobia? You mean the reasoned and legitimate criticism of the ideologys source texts?

Top Tip: to be seen as a true anti-racist and to have gravitas in pointing out racism in other political parties, sort out your own house first.

OwenJones84 Hey everybody, look over there... Nothing to see here

They have to ?! I think that the Islamization of England has reached and may have passed the red line. Here is Tory and they sent us this sign. The end of liberalism. Right?

What aboutism at its finest....

Typical deflection from Owen Jones I think there may be a television programme tonight concerning Anti semitism supported by Labour members

Probably ignoring it Owen as people are too busy talking not of labour antisemitism but of how people appear to be sweeping it under the carpet by attempting to dish out a dose of whataboutery referring to Tory islamophobia.....case in point ☝️

Labour right now

OwenJones84 Because everyone watches BBC news and reads the Tory rags. Then go fox hunting...

I never realised the Guardian was leftist political platform, I've been on Twitter less than 24 hours and it's already blatantly obvious 😂 Gone are the days of unbiased journalism...

I agree with OwenJones84 article. But one of the main reasons is our press. They run stories on UKLabour being antisemitic for discussing Israeli domination for Palestine’s and illegally grabbing their land, but totally ignore other racism including islamaphobia

Ever since 9/11 it’s been firmly in the heads of the deluded liberal intelligentsia who actually believe in such claptrap as being irrationally afraid of an ideology that literally commands its followers to kill everyone, in pretty much those exact words, repeatedly.

OwenJones84 Bang on message 😂

Whilst the tories are odious, Hope not Hate shouldn't be conducting gov polls, that's another issue, dislike of Islam should not be a 'national scandal' so much as an indication more people are examining the ideology foisted upon us, the more you know the worse it is. Study it.

MatesJacob It's obvious racism is in the DNA of the Tory party - but really it's more about hate. They hate women, gays, black people, muslims, travellers, unions, Europeans unless they are wealthy - they hate Guardian Readers, people on benefits, but mostly they hate the working class.

amplify amplify amplify

OwenJones84 I think mainly because we expect it from this lot. We don’t expect it from labour!

Someone's read the AMPLIFY memo.

The difference is Tory voters will happily say that Islam is a potential threat to the fabric. It’s a debate we need. Labours hatred of Jews is ideological, as is their cosying up to their enemies, mostly terrorists.

Where's the outrage about whataboutery and deflection. Nuffin' to see 'ere, Guv..

Sorry have I missed something. Have there been a mass Muslim call against islamophohia in the Conservative party. Demonstrators in Parliament Sq. Tory ministers rushing to defend Tommy Robinson, etc. ? Mass Whataboutery Owen.

OwenJones84 The outrage is their in your article. What you moaning about?

AMPLIFY.

OwenJones84 Posted exactly one hour before the Panorama documentary. Here we have an activist who calls himself a journalist complicit in a Labour Party rebuttal exercise to deflect its institutional racism against Jewish people.

OwenJones84 More to the point wheres the fucking fair and unbiased bbc’s reporting of this critical issue.

What the fuck is that to do with what is happening in Labour?

OwenJones84 Normal service has been resumed.... throwing labels about. Still no homophobes or bigots in Birmingham 😂😂

Would this be the Amplify, Amplify, Amplify that Corbyn ordered ?

Really! Is this the time to try and deflect? Two wrongs don't make a right! One matter at a time. Labour must face this.

OwenJones84 Amplify amplify amplify!!!!!

In your head Owen, as always.....

What Islamophobia? Nice try, Guardian. Owen Jones seems to be getting dumber and dumber.

OwenJones84 Brilliant piece. I hope it does its job x make tory members feel shame.

OwenJones84 Is this the start of the outrider pushback per the memo?

OwenJones84 hidden as usual in the sticky syrup of media misdirection !

OwenJones84 Yes, this needs to be addressed TOO. Just pointing at the Tories and saying they are doing a bad thing too doesn’t let Labour off the hook. You both need to get your own houses in order .

OwenJones84 Can you spell 'whataboutery'? Owen can.

OwenJones84 same place as the outrage for the windrush scandal

OwenJones84 Hi Labour we’d like to talk to you about your antisemitism problem Labour: what about the Tories That’s not a defence Labour Labour: But the Tories Nope try again Labour: The Tories OK Bye

OwenJones84 Did someone say whataboutery?

It’s because the right wing media wont print or say anything about the Tories they have would have rather attack Labour over anti Semitism

OwenJones84 Tonight we are focusing on the left's antisemitism and panorama. Don't change the topic mate.

OwenJones84 And Tory antisemitism Panorama

what islamophobia? you make it sound like there's something wrong with being wary of people who cleanse their majority nations of any Christian or other faith and who have caused an awful lot of trouble to innocent people around the world.

What kind of whataboutism is this in defense of Labour anti-Semitism?

How come the comment section isn't available on this article?

MatesJacob Tory party is 97% WHITE MALE, majority over 60. Who is surprised? 🤔😁 racism racist

MatesJacob I wonder who trump will appoint next 🤦🏻‍♀️

Where is the outrage about stone age dogma being given a free pass by The Guardian? It ticks every box in terms of transporting us back to the dawn of man, but The Guardian won't condemn it in case they're perceived as racist by some people in Primrose Hill.

Well, I am a lefty socialist. And strongly fear Islam for good reasons. They commit 35% of so of violent-organised crime in Denmark, though only 6% ? Also majority of muslims in Denmark support sharia? Surveys shown 60% plus? And have 3.8 kids, when Danes 1.7? Lots to fear..

What 👏 about 👏 ism 👏

There isn't much, is there? Perhaps that's because most of us agree with it.

Wonder where the idea from that article came from? Are the Guardian happy to be a propaganda outfit?

Jones is an embarrassment.

LOL - what’s that phrase he likes to use “we’ll not take any lectures from you on racism”

La idea d'islamofobia cerca de justificar el tractament de punts de vista raonables com a patològics: però la diversitat més important a preservar és la ideològica

Is the Guardian working with Milne on the outriders comms plan tonight?

That's a good minion OwenJones84 AMPLIFY! AMPLIFY! AMPLIFY!

Deflect, deflect, deflect...

Amplify Amplify Amplify ?

Onde?

Commie Jones is ur source...lol
