Former British MP and media commentator Douglas Carswell has sparked outrage by saying “let’s make England Abdul free”. Carswell, who regularly writes for the Telegraph, was a Conservative MP from 2005 to 2014, and then an MP for anti-immigration party UKIP until 2017.
On Sunday, Carswell took to social media platform X to share his views on a Daily Mail story about locals in Epping vowing to stop paying council tax after the High Court ruled asylum seekers can stay in a hotel.
“From Epping to the sea, let’s make England Abdul free,” Carswell declared in an apparent spin on the pro-Palestinian slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”.
The original slogan is often accused of implicitly advocating for violence against Jews, which pro-Palestine protesters strenuously deny. In contrast, Carswell’s version appears to explicitly call for the removal from Britain of everyone called Abdul.
So a guy that used to be a Tory MP, then UKIP MP (founder of Vote Leave) and now lives in the US as head of a conservative think tank in Mississippi.
What kind of a person pushes their country to leave a beneficial federation, then leaves the country themselves and then still spews racist bullshit about the country he shit on and abandoned? That’s not a rhetorical question, the answer is “a cunt”.
I came here to comment that he is a nobody and his opinion doesn’t matter, but I think it’s more important to highlight his past and also that he’s a megacunt.
