Caste of Mind

I am very proud to be hated by the likes of Tapan Ghosh. As for Bob Blackman, he held marginal Harrow East in 2015 by correctly promising that the Conservatives would repeal the ban on caste discrimination, and he held it very narrowly indeed this year because that despicable thing had happened.

Blackman remains wholly unapologetic that he blocked the necessary two-thirds majority to confer the Freedom of the London Borough of Brent on Nelson Mandela during his landmark visit to Wembley Stadium in 1990 for a concert broadcast in 60 countries to celebrate his release from prison.

Although Mandela did eventually become a Freeman of Brent by a unanimous resolution, Blackman even obtained an injunction from the High Court to prevent any recognition of the simple majority that such a conferral had initially received.

This person did not enter Parliament until 2010 (did someone mention vetting?), and he remains in receipt of the Conservative Whip. In between outspoken expressions of support for Benjamin Netanyahu, he hosts Tapan Ghosh at the Palace of Westminster.
