There are two lesbian candidates standing for their own respective parties in the upcoming Batley and Spen by-election. One of the women opposes the treatment of gays at the hands of Muslims and is eager to have a dialogue about the issue. The other promises to be a voice for those in the district who support Palestine. Which woman do you suppose is gaining support, and which one do you suppose is being protested?
SUTR (Stand Up To Racism) came to town in order to protest Anne-Marie Waters’ presence there, whilst ignoring every other issue and form of racism that the town faces from some Muslims. She is one of the two aforementioned lesbian candidates. The other is Jo Cox’s sister Kim Leadbeater. Kim was heckled by a few Muslim men on the street the other day, and they were asking her if she would continue pushing for LGBT indoctrination of children in schools should she get elected. She immediately, and with no self-awareness, told him that the Muslim community in her area deserves “better than this.” By “this,” she was alleging that the Muslim male’s views are in no way representative of the views held by her Muslims (the left always treats BAME people as pets or property).
I would say that other lesbians and Kim Leadbeater herself deserve “better” from the Muslims that she’s so desperate to represent. Some of them are involved in WhatsApp chats about her, citing five reasons why no Muslim should vote for her. The first reason is: “1) She is a lesbian and will push the LGBTQ agenda in our town.” It leaves me wondering how much more exactly Leadbeater thinks Muslims in her area “deserve.” Many of them are already dictating the terms of teaching in schools and getting away with intimidating and committing mass rape within the community, a common Islamic problem that was also ignored when her sister Jo was in office there. I find myself wondering about the non-Muslims living in her area. Do they “deserve better,” or do they “deserve” anything at all other than to shut up and keep living amongst such intolerant bigots? Batley is in a condition that Kim Leadbeater more than likely thinks residents will have to endure until her poor little Muslims can drag themselves into the twenty-first century. She even appears, as a lesbian, to be willing to tolerate their homophobia in order to get a vote.
Her sister Jo was accused of neglecting the most vulnerable in her community while she preferred to focus on problems abroad and particularly in Syria. She stated that 20,000 refugees being brought into the UK wasn’t enough, she wanted that number increased dramatically. Non-Muslim girls were being raped and trafficked just miles from her front door in her constituency, by Muslim migrants and asylum seekers, and yet her focus never left her pet project – Syrian refugees and the White Helmets. Likewise, we’re seeing in her sister Kim a need to put Palestinian issues at the front and centre of her campaign manifesto, even though she lives in the UK, and even while the unattended rape crisis has grown all around her. It’s all the more perplexing given that this is happening in Pride month here in the UK, and there are rainbow flags everywhere.
Kim is a curious case – she’s a gay woman who is defending Islam in the West and Palestine over Israel. I’d expect her to inform Muslims living in Batley about the lack of LGBT rights in Palestine. If they’re already aware of this, then I’d expect her to educate them on why persecution is a bad thing, and work towards creating a deeper understanding within the Muslim community of gay people’s rights. A sort of two-state solution right here in the UK, if you will, where Muslims get to be Muslims and gays get to be gays without being persecuted and killed, and where everyone respects each other’s differences and we all live happily ever after. The needs and concerns of Muslims dominates the political world in Batley. They are 20% of the electorate, and with the fight being so close between Labour and Conservatives around the 40% mark each, it’s vital for a candidate to appeal to Muslims.
Nadeem Raja manages the Al-Hikmah Centre, which oversees seven mosques in the area, and therefore is in control of the Muslim vote. It is sounding the call for everyone to vote for George Galloway. Galloway has no chance of winning, but, Raja says, George is “a champion of the Muslim community across the country, and internationally as well.” If Kim Leadbeater wants to continue her political career, she’s going to have to choose a side and throw someone under the bus at some point – gays or Muslims. Pick one, because the two cannot coexist.
Eva says
And we all know which side she’ll choose.
Johnny B says
Where do you even begin? If you don’t want your mind blown, don’t try to figure out why just know that’s the way it is, just like we cannot perceive or understand some strange laws of physics, it’s impossible, don’t go there…
Wellington says
In microcosm demonstrating that while mankind has certainly experienced many tragic eras this is really the first time in man’s history that we are living in an absurd era (and, of course, damn tragic too).

These women are defining the word “idiot.” Lamebrain, fool, ….suicidal masochist.
Oren says
I am kind of glad that the left is taking the knee to islam. From A strategic perspective that means no continuation of this government will be possible, the billionaires won’t have A bunch of evil gay leftists to work for them, with organized white armies to attack their enemies
Infidel says
Actually, it will be poetic justice if the jihadists get to execute the Left. The Right can then combat them independently
gravenimage says
Actually, letting Muslims mass slaughter Infidels is not a good idea–and the idea that Muslims will only go after the Left is mistaken.
gregbeetham says
Yes, but it would tend to bring the motivation of Muslims to everyone’s attention one would think, but then the lefty media will probably find a way to blame anything other than the Muslims, as usual.
revereridesagain says
Anne-Marie knows the two can’t co-exist, and given her record anyone would be fortunate to have her as a rep. Kim needs to spend a few weeks in Pakistan, and yes on condition that she do so “out”.
Infidel says
I sude hope that Anne-Marie wins her seat. And yeah, Kim should go and spend a whole year in a bunch of muslim countries – Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria and Gaza, completely ‘out’, and no security. Let her tell those people how much she’s been battling ‘islamophobia’ in the UK (which she has), and that that should get her a pass
john smith says
I have nothing but admiration and the greatest respect for Anne Marie Waters, she’s an incredibly brave woman who knows exactly what is going on in these muslim communities. I do hope the people of Batley come out and vote for her
On the other hand I have absolutely no respect for George Galloway whatsoever, who I firmly believe was once being paid off by his big buddy, Saddam Hussein.
Infidel says
At this point, I wonder why any British conservative would even bother voting for the Tories. If the #1 issue for Brits ain’t islamization – be it the ‘grooming gangs’ or creeping shariah, then what else is it?
gravenimage says
Hear, hear John!
DavidR says
Muslims have been doing this for years, holding onto ideas they know can’t be defended. For instance, the perfection of the Quran. That doesn’t include all the other “self” deceptions aimed at non-Muslims.
Kesselman says
The whole bunch is living in an absurd universe (and we with them). The appeasers toward Muslims (gays or not) appear to be schizophrenic.
Kepha says
What a beautiful rainbow coalition of all the oppressed classes. The fact of the matter is that Leftist “ejjikashun” teaches people to think shallowly on much, deeply on nothing, and to immediately react positively to purely emotional sloganeering. A near and dear Leftst once commented on how Islam was “anti-imperialist; I asked him how, then, northern Africa and the Fertile Crescent came to speak Arabic rather than Amazigh, Something Romance, Punic, Coptic, and Aramaic; and why Persian and Urdu are written in Arabic-based alphabets. I also asked how the Hungarians, Romanians. Bulgarians, Serbs, Greeks, and Aemrnicans might look at the thing. I then went on to point out that in Sudan, Mauretania, and most recently Libya, Islamic states reinstated the African slave trade as soon as the West’s back was turned (or, more accurately, when they correctly surmised that the West would do nothing about it). He shut up.
As for the sexual revolution in all of its manifestations, my own picture of it is ponytailed Western forty-somethings who know they’re dying of HIV/AIDS prowling the streets of Bangkok, Pnom Pen, Veintiane, and Saigon for a last fling with partners as young as they can find them–and probably telling themseles that they’re helping poor families that way.
But, Uncle Kepha has his tribute to pride, for both sides of that hopefullly tottering Leftist coalition:
I really don’t want to be snide,
While penning this little aside,
Among deadly seven
To keep you from Heaven,
There’s one truly bad one called pride.

UK: Leftists protest against lesbian candidate who opposes the treatment of gays under Islamic law
………………..
So not wanting people to be thrown off tall buildings or stoned to death for their sexual orientation is now considered a bad thing by Leftists? Suicidal madness.
Rob R (Brit stuck in Britainistan) says
As a gay guy I ask myself every single day:
“What the hell am I still doing in this country?”
Kim Leadbetter is so thick, you could use her to beat whales to death.
gravenimage says
Thanks, Rob.
James Lincoln says
Anne Marie Waters is a fine British patriot, and wants nothing but the very best for her fellow citizens.
I wish her the very best in this Batley and Spen by-election…
OLD GUY says
So much for DIVERSITY, under Islam there is NONE. The UK has allowed a mass muslim/islamic migration invasion of their country to take place. BIG MISTAKE!
roger Woodhouse says
No mistake unfortunately.’Mistakes’can be rectified.The governments past and present turn a blind eye to the Islam problem hoping against hope that the ‘issue’ wont arrise under their watch so the problem is kicked down the road for future generations to ‘face’.Criminal negligence I call it.
Ecosse1314 says
Hate to say it but AM Waters has more chance of being elected Pope than winning this seat.
