You Can't Escape The Consequences Of Your Own Actions, Anna

A Labour MP has said she has been subjected to death threats and online misogynistic abuse after a video was shared by a Conservative MP about her position on a national inquiry into grooming gangs.
Anna Dixon, the MP for Shipley in West Yorkshire, said police were investigating the threats and accused the MP for Keighley and Ilkley, Robbie Moore, of disseminating “misinformation” about her stance on the issue.

Such as?  

Moore posted a video on Wednesday on social media with the caption: “Shipley’s Labour MP Anna Dixon is ‘misleading public’ on grooming gangs inquiry. “Anna is telling constituents she voted against an inquiry because it was a ‘political stunt’. But a closer look at the facts shows Anna has been dismissing calls for an inquiry since day one.

Ah. So, is he? Have you actually been calling for and supporting such an inquiry, Anna? 

The evidence seems to indicate that you haven't, so all Moore is doing is calling attention to your own actions, isn't he? Are you so poorly ediucated you don't understand the term 'misleading'? 


Here, this may help.

Dixon denies the claims and said she only voted against a Tory proposal for a national inquiry into grooming gangs because it included an amendment to the children’s wellbeing and schools bill.

It dorsb't matter why you did, the point is you did vote against it. so it's no use crying foul when someone points that out! 

In response, Moore said: “I utterly condemn any threats of violence against elected politicians or anyone in public life … I would urge readers to watch the full video in question, which is not a personal attack and raises legitimate concerns about the MP for Shipley’s public position on a grooming inquiry in Bradford.” He added: “I recently organised a cross-party letter to the prime minister on this issue, signed by 98 MPs from six different political parties, including Labour. Unfortunately, the MP for Shipley was not one of them.

Well, Anna, seems you've passed up every opportunity to support an inquiry that's been given to you. 

“We are now in a situation in Bradford where victims and survivors and leading child abuse lawyers are desperately calling for a focus on Bradford in the grooming gangs inquiry, with a sitting Labour peer explicitly saying there has been a cover-up inside Bradford council. “The fact that the MP for Shipley does not and, from her public comments today, still does not unequivocally support a focus on Bradford in this national inquiry is both a newsworthy and legitimate concern.”

Indeed it is. And no amount of blustering anf obfuscation is going to get her out of a hole she's dug herself. All she's done by issuing this statement is call attention to her position on grooming gangs. That's Labour for you - their MPs are even thicker than their voters!

I used to think like that. How can anybody look at the evidence I see and still disagree with my conclusions? But my late brother was a staunch Labour supporter and he was almost as intelligent* as I am. I've also met several people whose intelligence I wouldn't question but they still vote Labour, think climate change is completely man made, the NHS is the envy of the world etc. etc,
Some people have different opinions from you. Get over it.

* Maybe even more intelligent but I wasn't going to tell him that.
