Dear Nick,
I hope you don’t mind me being so informal. But everyone seems to be calling politicians by their first names these days. I would like to congratulate on your principled stand on refusing to investigate Baroness Tonges’ accusation of antisemitism, for accusing Israeli doctors of stealing disaster victims organs. These accusations came from a most reliable source; Al Manar TV of Lebanon. Far better to believe a nation with no aide workers on the ground. Than the 100s of other workers from dozens of other countries who must have been to busy saving people to notice this heinous act. I believe President Almajilabad of Iran made a similar accusation. Unfortunately he was unable to investigate as most of his police were kicking protestors in the balls at the time and allegedly shoving broomsticks up their backsides in prison. Perhaps you should go all the way and encourage the CIA to send a mercy flight to Tehran packed full of boots and broomsticks (but don’t ask Charles Kennedy to do it as he’ll probably send several copies of Bed Knobs and Broomsticks).
Nick some uncharitable people would think your showing a slight case of the Chilcotts about this event because…. well I hate to say this but because you think all Muslims vote the same. That all UK Muslims will gladly join behind anyone who supports luridly, antisemitic/anti Zionist views. And well you do want to be a kingmaker in a hung parliament don’t you? Some one who thought might be accused of being a little theistic or atleast watching a little to much Star Trek the Next Generation. Because Nick, Muslim’s are not Borg they won’t all vote for who ever shouts at Israel the loudest. They may even wander why a supposedly mainstream politcians needs such cheap showmanship? They may even question his integrity and willingness to stand by them when things get tough. They may even start to wander if the BNP has atleast got a little integrity to go with their short hair cuts?
Oh and Baroness Tonge wasn’t being antisemitic I’m sure when she made the accusations. She might have been in 2006 when she said “”"The pro-Israeli lobby has got its grips on the western world, its financial grips. I think they’ve probably got a grip on our party.” But I’m sure that’s a misunderstanding. Just as much as if I implied that she’s never been able to cater a Lib Dem event as the thought of “Tonge Sandwiches” all around is almost as sickening as a party leader who sells his parties soul for a few votes he won’t get.
Yours Dr S (a LibDem…still)
Dr S would like to apologise for the dreadful pun in the last line. It was that or write about Nick holding his Tonge. Or even being Tonge tied as he awaits a Tinge lashing.
