Please can we have a rest from all these flattering photos of the Pakistani Muslim woman pretending to be “modern”? Show her wearing her Muslim Headscarf, as she wore when she was sworn in as a Member of Parliament, showing her extremist views, since NOWHERE does the Koran say that all females are required to wear veils or headscarves or black burqas. NOWHERE!!! It only says “dress modestly”— nothing about covering the hair or head or total body coverings.

“Rob Bates, Research Director at the Centre for Migration Control” the modern Mata Hari, the great enigma of today’s allegedly right-wind media. “Bob”, a very presentable and well spoken young man, moving from one TV and radio studio to another, telling us what we more or less know about illegal immigration, but never who is behind the endless invasion. Or, who is behind the much greater legal flow of newcomers, chiefly from muslim countries.
But who is Mr Robert Bates? Who funds his organisation CMC? Any connection to Future to Leave? How many staff? Nothing in Wiki and only a few bits and pieces in social media.
The only solid information about Mr Robert Bates and his CMC is found in the Companies House records under Athelney Campaigns Ltd with Mr Bates the sole director d.o.b May 1995.
Fascinating character, just like Farage who keeps counting dinghies in Calais for years but has no power to stop them. And like Nigel, I wouldn’t be surprised if I hear one that a wealthy muslim funds CMC.
Perhaps at the next meeting, the interviewer might be able to throw some light on the matter.
