Conservative Party’s Anti-White Candidate Selection Policy Takes First Scalp
The deliberate plan by Tory leader David Cameron to institute an anti-white candidate selection policy has taken its first scalp with the suspension of Conservative candidate and councillor Peter Hobbins.
The Tory councillor was suspended after complaining in an email that so many of the “Conservatives” with whom who he was corresponding did not have “normal English names.”
Mr Hobbins, a former parliamentary candidate, wrote a series of emails to fellow party members complaining that applicants for the Orpington seat in Kent sounded “foreign.”
He also complained that candidates approved by Conservative Central Office all mention Africa on their CVs, describing their cover letters as “ridiculous” and “pathetic.”
“I have been contacted by a Mr Dilon Gumraj and a Zerha Zaidi and others who are all on the approved Conservative Parliamentary Candidates list,” he wrote in one email.
“Not one of them has a normal English name.” He added, “Why are the Candidates Department so keen on these foreign names?!!!! Maybe I should change my name to something foreign ? how does Petrado Indiano Hobbinso sound to you?”
A Conservative Party spokesman confirmed that Cllr Hobbins had been immediately suspended from his party. Mr Hobbins stood for the Tories in the Rhondda seat in Wales in 2001 and was shortlisted to be Tory candidate for London mayor in 2008.
In November 2006, Tory leader David Cameron announced his “positive action” plan to “woo ethnic minorities.”
In a speech to the Ethnic Media Conference in central London, Mr Cameron announced plans to monitor the progress of people from minorities within the party.
The Conservative leader insisted that it was not enough to have an “open door” policy, and he wanted to offer underrepresented groups a “genuine invitation to come in.”
He also said that the Conservatives would be introducing an annual internship programme for ethnic minorities, and holding a series of recruiting “road shows” in major cities to get people involved at all levels.
“The fact is that it’s not enough just to open the door to ethnic minorities. An unlocked door is not the same as a genuine invitation to come in,” Mr Cameron said, justifying the policy which in reality fast tracks nonwhites over the heads of white Tories within that party.
Mr Cameron has introduced an “A-list” of priority candidates for winnable seats which will force local Conservative Associations to accept ethnic candidates even if they have local candidates who are better qualified.
