UK: Small Town Mayor Forced to Quit for Following Wilders, Steyn, Kassam on Social Media

23

Note the double standard. Peter Lucey resigned after one Labour Party Councillor complained. The Labour Party, which is rife with Jew-hatred, doesn’t have any problem with anyone criticizing Christianity or Judaism or any other religion. But when it comes to Islam and mass Muslim migration, all criticism is off-limits, as is clear from their banning of me from entering the country. And it’s not just the Labour Party, either. Lucey not only resigned as Mayor of Wokingham, but also from the Conservative Party. The Conservative May government is determined to appease and accommodate its Muslim population even to the extent of adopting sharia blasphemy restrictions on free speech. They’re trying desperately to fabricate a “right-wing extremist” threat that is equivalent to the jihad threat, and as a result they’re not just making sure that people such as Lucey have no place in their party, but they’re banning me and others, and smearing us by implying that they are terrorists.

Britain is finished.

“Small Town Mayor Forced to Quit for Following Kassam, Steyn, Wilders on Social Media,” by Oliver JJ Lane, Breitbart, April 26, 2018 (thanks to Inexion):

Story continues below advertisement

The mayor of a small British town quit his post for “personal reasons”, reportedly after a single complaint was made about his social media activity, including expressing concern about mass migration, and being subscribed to right-wing personalities on Facebook.

Councillor Peter Lucey stood down from his post as Mayor of Wokingham and resigned from the Conservative Party Wednesday after a fellow Councillor from the left-wing Labour Party wrote a letter of complaint about the Mayor’s online activity, reports the Wokingham Paper.

According to the report, the Mayor had expressed concern about mass migration and subscribed to right-wing personalities on Facebook, including Breitbart London Editor in Chief Raheem Kassam, Dutch populist Geert Wilders, and New York Times-bestselling Canadian author Mark Steyn, which the Wokingham Paper described as being “controversial” and holding “anti-Islamic views”.

The report also made specific mention of Kassam’s newly released book on mid-20th century conservative political giant Enoch Powell, Enoch Was Right: ‘Rivers of Blood’ 50 Years On in the context of Lucey’s resignation.

It is claimed in addition to the personalities followed by Lucey, he also followed the now largely dormant street-marching group the English Defence League, and think-tank the Gatestone Institute.

Speaking to local newspaper the Bracknell News, Labour councillor Andy Croy claimed the Mayor had made Islamophobic communications online, although the only message quoted by papers surrounding the now-deleted accounts specifically referenced immigration, not Islam. The politician said: “I saw the messages and wrote to The Wokingham Conservatives, pointing out that I thought it was islamophobic [sic] and that they needed to deal with it.

“I demanded his resignation. He posted something along the lines of ‘mass immigration has destroyed your future’.”…

Unless this was a deliberate ploy to put pressure on Jeremy Corbyn to quit by making him endorse a double standard, Lucey made a mistake by tendering his resignation.

We don’t want pussy hat pandering grovelling Brits to immigrate to Canada. They can stay home and kiss politically correct Muslim ass. This Mayor is a filthy coward, instantly running away away with his little pecker between his legs. Labour councillor Andy Croy is clearly a fascist who doesn’t believe in free speech. The Mayor should have told him to fk off.

Mr. Lucey…..I understand what you are up against…..if you stand and fight the Muslims and the Dhimmis for Islam in your own government could physically harm you and your family….imprison you for “wrong thinking”, break you financially…maybe even kill you or yours……but at the same time…by folding and quitting you are aiding and abetting the Fascism that is killing your country….what’s next in the UK? Book Burning?

It sounds and looks to me like the UK has already entered the realm of George Orwell’s “NINETEEN EIGHTY FOUR”….scary.

I can hardly ever open Geller’s site each morning without seeing stories like this….and much worse. How do the Brits, Italians, French, Swedes, and other European countries live like this? The only strong leaders fighting this seems to be Poland and Hungary…..who would have thought these tiny countries -compared to the British Kingdom – could be the only bastions of freedom?
Perhaps Mr. Lucey….you and your family could go to Hungary and actually have what is left of a life…..my prayers are with you and your family.

On the nail Ladywarrior, surrender just leads to more of the same, they take it that you have zero confidence in your own rights and case.

I feel sorry for people like him…..and his family. He gets smeared by looking at other points of view….you can bet if he was looking at Muslims sites…considering being a Muslim…..he would have been praised for his “diversity…..which has always automatically translated in my head as “hate the whites”…..
As more and more people clam up and leave the UK….what is left….Muslim killing infidels and the Libtards having to live with each other without anymore conservatives around to browbeat…..watch as they start killing each other over next to nothing….because they have no one else to fight.

All left leaning ideologies have a streak of utopia aspiring revolutionalism (bloody if needed…) in them (some more then others) and that type of “world view” that constantly wants “progress” toward that said “perfect world” (Social Justice / hyper equality etc), lends to the acceptance of a very “cause justifies all means” kind of attitude in left leaning politics that is promoting all those noble yet lofty goals with lies / obfuscation / double standards / hypocrisy / manipulation / sedition / verbal and physical violence and is never called for it by the MSM which is largely a part of the “progressive” left Hegemony

The Nazi leaders even when Germany was close to losing the war, had delusions of a post war hegemony in Europe lead by Germany. Guess what we have it, and it is called the EU

Could be he’s going to devote his time and effort into starting up a logical movement and form a new government. If he’s been looking at the way things are, he probably recognizes it will not work to fix things from within the present system, as many are finding out. They have a lawful construct in the Magna Carta, they just have to opt out of the system their in to start using it. At least that is what I’m hoping he’s doing. You unincorporated yourself, then start unincorporating your local governments, and build up.

Perhaps less attention to what the royals are doing and more concern over basic freedoms would be advisable in the aforementioned country.
I truly don’t understand what is going on there. So you cannot educate yourself by informing yourself with different point of views? You are essentially told what you can and what you cannot read.
People who are not terrorists are banned? You can only read what is deemed appropriate by the state?
This man should not have left his position.
Are people allowed to inform themselves and vote freely there?
Seems to me this is an upside down, mixed up world.

Tm. What is right is wrong and what is wrong is right. I believe it is in a book some 2000 years old.

So he didn’t even actually make any islamofauxbic comments whatsoever? What a morally sick and rotten country — not that anywhere in Northern America is much better.

Oh….we are better…..but the signs are there that it is changing…..
Dr. Ronny Jackson stopped from confirmation by a sleazy Dimm….who looks like a child molester and had absolutely no proof of anything he said….

The only good that comes out of that is everytime people like Tester get what they want by how they do it…..it infuriates the rest of us and spurs us on even more to get rid of the Dimms…..thankfully that fat pig is running for re-election and he’s not doing so good….

Even without that allegation, Jackson would have had ethics issues from a power struggle in 2012.
