Bad Political Actors: The Rise of Left-Wing LARPing

It was World Book Day last week, that annual ‘educational’ occasion when young children dress up as characters from their favourite books and expect to receive adult applause for the fact. To celebrate, one particular British infant went onto a Tube train a week or two early dressed as the main character from Mein Kampf (Arabic language edition) and decided to harass a Jew.   

Thomas Abdullah Bourne is a 39 year-old white convert who uses the social media handle “White British Muslim” and likes to walk around London attending pro-Palestine rallies wearing a keffiyeh, as if he personally is a Palestinian too, even though he isn’t. Bourne’s real name is the quintessentially English-sounding Thomas Edward Oliver Heather, and, by the account of one embarrassed family-member, he simply “converted to Islam in the back of a taxi” one day; British Muslims have done worse things in the back of taxi-cabs, I suppose.

This fakery is very much enabled by the sound bite obsessed media’s cosplaying interviewers who interrupt any discussion, debate or interview that risks exposing these creeps.
Sadly Matt Goodwin made a huge mistake the other day with Spencer and bit back too quickly when she was begins to really make an ass of herself.
Lesson: the BBC will always interrupt when your enemy are making a mistake

Quite right. Deliberately interrupting over the “wrong” response is obvious and infuriating. At the moment I am waiting for any interviewer to challenge the notion that bombing a delinquent county into submission leads to more violence. I would like the interviewer then to pose the question as to why Germany and Japan have set fine examples of pacifism.

There are certainly a lot of imbeciles going around and this Thomas character is obviously one of those. But has anyone ever noticed one of those white women you see going around who used to wear jeans and T shirt, or skirt and high heels but who has obviously then married a Muslim and is now all wrapped up in cloth? —–How embarrassing to allow yourself to be dominated in this way.

Thankfully they were never the attractive ones. Best cover them up.

I think the Greens are on to a winner with the muzzies. They are socially conservative at home, but they love a bit of teenage prostitution when they get in their taxis.

Some dimbo’s voters were surprised when told she had omitted to tell them in urdu about their proposed drugs free for all. But maybe it is me, I am wrong, and it will be drugs for the whites and not the muzzies in our two tier state.

If the world’s a stage for the self righteous cosplaying Greens, please exit stage left.

She’ll be sorry … when her constituents start kicking up and demanding she fulfils her election promises with associated threats. Absolute waste of a vote. (As for ‘moral masturbation’, I’m borrowing that one).
