Nusrat Ghani said: “The impact of being told this was devastating and my motivation in pursuing the complaint was to ensure it wasn’t buried, but that it ended with me so that no other colleague would have to endure anything similar.”
Oh, no worries, Ms. Ghani! Even though Mark Spencer was cleared, the purpose this ordeal has been served: everyone will tiptoe around Muslim officials, bending over backwards not to offend them, so as to avoid charges of “Islamophobia.”
“Investigation clears former chief whip Mark Spencer over sacking of Muslim Tory MP Nusrat Ghani,” by Alexandra Rogers, Sky News, April 6, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Rishi Sunak has said no further action will be taken against minister Mark Spencer after a probe could not establish whether he told a female Tory MP she had been sacked because of her Muslim faith.
However, an investigation by the prime minister’s ethics adviser, Sir Laurie Magnus, identified some “shortcomings” in Mr Spencer’s behaviour towards Ms Ghani.
Ms Ghani said in response to the report that there was “no criticism or doubt expressed regarding my version of events”.
“Others will have to explain the report noting the ‘omissions’, ‘shortcomings’, ‘incomplete information’, ‘inaccurate briefings’ and claims ‘implied without evidence’ in their actions and story,” she said.
Sir Laurie had been investigating claims made by Ms Ghani that she was sacked as a government minister after her “Muslimness was raised as an issue”.
The Tory MP, who lost her position in the February 2020 reshuffle, claimed last January that she had been told by a whip, whom she did not identify, that her “Muslim woman minister status was making colleagues feel uncomfortable”.

She also said there were concerns she “wasn’t loyal” to the party because she did not do “enough” to defend it against allegations of Islamophobia.
In the immediate aftermath of Ms Ghani’s comments, Mr Spencer, the former chief whip who is now an environment minister, identified himself as the the whip in question but denied her claims.
He described her allegations as “completely false”, adding: “I consider them to be defamatory. I have never used those words attributed to me.”
‘Some shortcomings’
In his investigation into the alleged Islamophobia, Sir Laurie said it was not possible to determine what the then chief whip said to Ms Ghani in two 2020 meetings.
As chief whip Mr Spencer was responsible for enforcing discipline among MPs.
However, Sir Laurie identified “some shortcomings” in how Mr Spencer responded to Ms Ghani’s concerns including that he failed to invite a witness to one of the meetings on 4 March 2020….
Ms Ghani said in a statement: “We all serve at the prime minister’s choosing and there is no shame in a political career ending. But to be told your faith and identity is the reason for it cannot be acceptable in any way.
“The impact of being told this was devastating and my motivation in pursuing the complaint was to ensure it wasn’t buried, but that it ended with me so that no other colleague would have to endure anything similar….

“Shortcomings” now necessitate massive investigations? Exactly right; the intent is to instill fear.
But, but, if he has a phobia, that’s a mental illness, and he must be dealt with in a progressive manner, which requires medical confidentiality, respect, kindness, inclusiveness, and all the rest. Not investigations, but coddling, like the raping imports. She’s publicly discussing his private medical mental health information and not getting prosecuted? How could that be? They can never make these warped pieces fit.

Mark Spencer: “I consider (the allegations) to be defamatory. . I have never used those words attributed to me.”
Not surprising. Muslims are liars because lying is written into their ideology. We all know that. They are also stupid because they continue to peddle their blatantly obvious fabrications even though the instructions for the reputation rank dishonesty that they have given themselves are set out in black and white in their ‘holy literature’ and even the most credulous cockeyed islamophilic optimist can see how they’re motivated to concoct their spurious little inventions. They must really think we’re all idiots to continue with this sort of thing, but then the lack of self-awareness that we see in this muslim MP is symptomatic of the dubious level of intelligence that prevents these specimens from detecting their own self-projections onto their intended ‘victims that others can see only too clearly.
Hoi Polloi says
Agree and she should be prosecuted.

Kitman (deception) and Taqiya (lies) are two of the tools used by Islam to get their way and the upper hand.
It says in the Koran you can be friendly to the kafir (non believers of Islam) but not be their friend.
So you really are up against a devious and cunning foe!!

Use fear and intimidation to win concessions – part of Islam’s strategy

I’m sorry but if you are Muslim, you should not be allowed to BE an MP. You don’t have an allegiance to the UK. You won’t have British values and beliefs. No white British person wants you governing them. However, the take over continues. RIP UK.
maria says
Agree .And muslims should never be UK citizen.And as they hate the UK they should be deported from the UK for ever.
And the UK should forbide all muslims to come to the UK
Fitna says
Agreed both, and it applies to all non-Muslim countries.
I’m afraid however that Muslims along with their useful idiot do-gooders on the Left are shutting down all civil means of opposing Islam directly.
As with Nazism, Islamo-Leftists will make it illegal to discuss Muslims in a negative light. Even if the Muslims are engaged in crimes of some kind, the accusers will be the ones put on trial while the Muslims will gain total immunity.
Obviously once that occurs, there will be no possible way to oppose their agenda using normal means that we would use against any other group or ideology.
It will likely boil down to ‘outside’ forces and means to handle this, probably including civil war.
That isn’t really the best outcome for us non-Muslims either as Muslims are more war-mongering than we are (but still better than surrender).
All the more reason for non-Muslims to start holding large scale demonstrations to ban Islam and then later push for deportation of all Muslims after.

A Malaysian, a majority muslim country: “Leonardo DiCaprio took the stand Monday in the federal trial of a prominent ’90s rap artist accused of funneling money from a Malaysian financier who reportedly sought to donate tens of millions of dollars to President Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign.”
The money they pipe through our systems is clearly behind these actions against those with integrity and meant to intimidate.

‘Ms Ghani said in a statement: “… to be told your faith and identity is the reason for it cannot be acceptable in any way.’
Indeed! WERE that the case!
But … you were ELECTED, by the voters of the constituency that you represent! NOT by the PM (never mind the chief whip)! So, quite frankly, your version of events would seem to be at odds with your being the representative of the people who elected you.
Mr Spencer MIGHT care to consider pursuing legal action against you!
And, FTR, the ONLY Islamophobia … tends to be that which (by some STRANGE coincidence ??) originates from WITHIN Islam!
John Moriarty says
to be a properly observant muslim is to be seditious towards infidel governments and societies
PetreB says
If I understanc correctly what lies under this statement : Islamophobia is a crime, even in non islamic countries, and an investigation have to be conducted to fin out if you are or not islamophobe.
Where ever I turn my eyes : Iran, pakistan, maldives, algeria, afghanistan, morocco, turkey, european suburbs , etc … there some common and clear evidences : War against women, war against gays, fanatism, death sentence for any critic, apostasia, freedom of speech, drawing of their shitty prophet , fascism, intolerance, regression, war against free science, obscurantism
So beeing woke or polticially correct, means is stand for that disgusting backwardness and fascism
WHY ? Why do we have to shut up in front that criminal backward madness called islam , explain me the reason
