David Ward MP Stands By “Jew” Comments
Compares Himself to Holocaust Survivor
David Ward has reposted his comments on his website and issued a defiant statement, in which he unbelievably compares his fight not to be silenced to that of a Holocaust survivor:
“For my entire political career I have fought prejudice. I have just returned from Bradford’s Holocaust Memorial event where people across cultures and faiths joined together to say “We bear witness to the horrors of the Holocaust and will never forget its lessons.
In the words of the Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel, as quoted in the booklet ‘Holocaust Memorial Day – Learning Lessons from the past to create a safer, better future’: “I swore never to be silent whenever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”
The original problem was never his criticism of Israel per se, rather his use of “the Jews”. Guido hopes LibDem HQ note Ward is standing by that. Every time he opens his mouth he makes this worse.
UPDATE: And as if by magic, David Ward is still digging. He has spoken to the BBC:
“I’ve spoken to the chief whip, and he’s got his views. I don’t feel bad about it in any way. They consider my comments regrettable; I consider their reprimand regrettable.”
Apparently any further disciplinary would be “a sad reflection on the values we all hold so dearly, particularly on free speech”. Adding that he has had an “overwhelmingly positive” response from the public, with 80 unsolicited supportive emails, and just two from detractors.”
“While it was essential to remember the Holocaust as one of the most horrific examples of man’s inhumanity to man”, should we not also remember when there are examples of atrocities being committed in the present?”
Stay classy.
That’s my boy
Does he have a foreskin?
No
Britain is experiencing ‘worse slump than during Great Depression’
Britain’s recent economic performance is the worst since records began in the pre-Victorian era, experts said today, apart from the two immediate post-war slumps.

Steady as she goes. Slow her right down
There’s no money left.
Not even a pound ?
We’re solving the debt bubble by….
Creating even more debt…
Wonder why it isn’t working?
Solve the debt bubble problems by increasing the amount of debt?!?
Wonder why that isn’t working?
What a load of total codswallop. we have experienced worse times than the current ones. Many more people were unemployed in the early 1980s
Population of 18 – 65 are 38 million. According to Cameron 29.5 million are employed (even part timers looking for full time job and students who has part time jobs) 2.5 million are unemployed.
What happened to the rest of the 6 million (38-29.5-2.5)?
But we have not had had a bigger banking crash since Overend and Gurney and at least that was investment in infrastructure not “just” mortgage fraud on a stupendous scale: from the West Coast of the USA to the Renaissance of the North the Scottish Bankers (Halifax, HBOS, Northern Rock and RBS) had lapped it all up, egged on by Gordon Brown who had similarly mortgaged (PFI’d) the future of public service delivery.
Fuck me Guido, isn’t it about time you blocked this Taffy Tosser who keeps ruining your blog with his pointless YouTube spamming? He has nothing pertinent to say and just seems to post anti-English abuse.
YOU! TAFFY TWAT! WHY DON’T YOU CREATE YOUR OWN BLOG WHERE YOU CAN POST POINTLESS SHIT TO YOUR HEART’S CONTENT?
What rubbish. I’m getting sick and tired of landrobbing ciooks using some hollowcaust to garner sympathy. They don’t give a flying fart about any victims.
Yes, kick those who are occupying Gaza back to the Jordan they were booted out of.

Hamas to establish military academy for schoolkids
They need to start young because their neighbours are hell bent on destroying Palestine and ethnically cleansing them from their own lands. They should train their women as snipers, like the
Is relais do.
Ignorant, divisive waffle based on pandering to an electorate by stirring up ill-feeling and pandering to extremism. Ken Livingstone would be so proud.
and me
Ach OyVey! My grandparents died. Feel sorry for me and attack Iran. I need more arms aid to execute Palestinians! Shalom!

God help Bradford then because the two tossers who are MPs won’t.
Careful what you wish for – you may get a couple of rabid Imams as their next MPs.

I like this infidel, I will ensure that the brothers vote for him when they’re back from enforcing Sharia on the kuffars.
Grand Mufti I salute you.
Ward is no Jew Hater he just wants to be re-elected so he must say what he must say, to keep on the Westminster Gravy Train.
Not an Infidel just lower than short shit
I’m appalled that the vicious anti semites running this blog consider this earth shattering event to be worthy of only four stories so far.

Desperate attempt to woo those colonists in his ward whom 75% of the British know are not compatible with civilisation.
FREE SPEECH etcs
that will be £50 please
Plus VAT, gotta pick a pocket or two-ooo.
why is the liberal/left so fixated in calling everyone nazis and evil?
Is this transference activity and being seriously in denial in that they really do secretly hanker to dress in black tunic and jodhpurs, pin the siegrunen to the lapel, climb aboard the old panzerkampfwagen and kick in polands back doors?
I think it was Stalin who kicked in the back door. Those smartly dressed chaps went in by the front.
kicked in the back door
oooooh, duckie
The drivel that came out of this Libdem MPs mouth is exactly the same sort of crap that is spouted by the BBC and Guardian on a daily basis
Lets face it the left has always been anti-semetic, anti-christain, anti-brit and anti-democratic.
you say that like its a bad thing!
‘fought prejudice’ – he’s going with the Mcshame defence gambit, I see. If a socialist was caught on camera robbing a blind pensioner, whilst simultaneously nobbing a choir boy, he’d still try the ‘fighting prejudice’ defence.
They have a Jewish leader, you moron.
Sack him Cleggie. Go on, you know you want to.
Can I ask the audience, or maybe phone a friend?
A good day to bury bad news.
What bad news?

Israel is not a Jainist state.
Israelis are not Hindu.
The “Law of Return” does not allow Mormons to settle in the country.
The Israeli flag does not feature a crucifix.
The traditional Presbyterian toast is not “The State and President of Israel”.
Israel is not described as “the Lutheran State”.
Now do you get it?
(And this is the fourth comment made on this topic, with the first three being deleted because, as we all know, Guido is all about free speech.)
Have you considered visiting your psychiatrist?
I had the same problem earlier. I asked whether ______ was still a _____ state.
Unbelievable intolerance there from the Guido’s modbot.
Er, let me guess…. Britain and bank rupt?

In fact while I am at it, give the Malvina Islands back.
They are! They had to be taken back with force from the Argies who tried to steal it from the Falklanders.

Hey Moussa your girlfriend’s posting now.
Gove does whatever his big bulldyke of a husband tells him to.
Or else no strap on.
I have no problem with people calling themselves that.
What I object to is people not being able to draw inferences, and inferences at all, about the activities of the government of ————- and the kinds of people who support it and being censored whenever they do.
wow all my replies are censored……..well “if your not taking flak you’re not hitting the target”……anyway last try
This man has exercised free speech, nothing wrong with that, wish there were more like him.
he is saying what million think, but haven’t the gust to say…….Criticism of Israel, is Criticism of Israel…It only becomes “antisemitism” if people cower to the accusation, run scared and retract!
Good for him!
I have gust.
I will say that the people of Israel have shown & do show remarkable restraint under severe & constant intimidation from the muzzie hordes.
You are right. That is normally the case.
But sometimes they don’t show such restraint. Such is the nature of human beings.
Yes, they muzzies should just move out completely and give god’s chosen ones their land.
They should feel honoured to do so..
If they merged their sky fairy beliefs, would they all become jezzies?
Chelsea winger Eden Hazard is charged with violent conduct by the FA after kicking a ball boy in match against Swansea – @SkyNewsBreak
Sharia Law for some
FA Law for the rest
The ball boy was an arse…but Hazard did over react…you cant go around kicking 17 years olds.
Yes you can, if they are your wife and you have been married at least 8 years.
I would like to make it clear that this man is a kuffar imposter.
One may, inshallah, kick one’s wife after 1 day and as long as she’s out of nappies.
I hope this helps.
I’m sure I read a bright yellow ‘kil da jews’ slogan in an Undercliffe junction office window.
AJAC’s…Mod that
He has a point how can a supposed Zionist ho has lived most of his life in Brooklyn orNorth London then decamp to The Gaza or the West Bank and proclaim that its hos homeland because of some biblical text and create homelessness for thousands of bedouins,people forget tht the Hokocaust was perpetrated by Western Europeans and not the Arabs.
This LibDem has a point because you condemn the Israeli excesses in the West Bank or Gaza dosnt make you anti Semitic.
He is entitled to say whatever he likes, he just can’t expect to keep his job by being openly anti-semitic.
He’s just doing what all Limpdems do; i.e. tailoring his views to his electorate.
For those who don’t know, I believe this is where he drew his comparison….

Have to say……they are rather “comparable”
Bradford East MP
Is he thinking of his constituents maybe?
Maybe he is just thinking for himself.
I know we all have our crosses to bear but this MP has a real chip on his shoulder .
He should stop feeling sorry for himself, get back in his office and see how he can help improve the lives of his constituents .
True. These compulsory civic events commemorating things from before everyone was born are a real distraction from the proper business of making expenses claims. But what can you do? The voters expect it.
What, like facilitating their return whence they came you mean?
They are Welsh in Barry Island .
One hopes that he has not misread the apparent change in US policy towards !srael and is trying to front run what will be an apparent change of US Foreign Policy position.
Very dangerous game to play if so.
One best left to the Hagel’s of this world, and even he is very careful to steer clear of this specific issue. Has Ward any interests developing with !ran ? Or is he reflecting the views of his constituents.
Now the Yanks are self sufficient in oil they dont want to know about the Middle East .
Not that keen on Africa too where Hollande has left both himself and the whole of Europe wide open .
As for all those paper dollars ?
So … Guido is Jewish, then?
For why else would he be bothered?
Come on…lets face it, the Israelis are proper neo nut F*uck Wits. They make the NRA look like pussy cats.
If someone locked me up in a coalshed for 50 years and passed bread and water through a flap to keep me alive and tortured me every day, and I finally got released by the police after 50 years, then after my release I would not try to forcibly lock-up my own neighbours in their houses for no good reason, even for 5 minutes.
It’s that kind of total lack of empathy that he’s speaking about, and he’s quite right.
NOBODY gets special treatment, that’s the whole point. You should be allowed to criticise whoever you want when they’re doing something wrong.
The “you’re just being anti-semitic” line of defence is an insidious and spurious one, and the only purpose such a defence serves is to galvanise the people who you’re trying to beat with a stick.
Look out.There are 5,000 rockets aimed at you.
We send them in peace.
Spot on!
Yet Isr ae lis kill far more Pale stinians with their billionsworth of scrounged hitech weaponry.
Replies censored, there is no con sp iracy.
Has the Zio*nist Gimp Gove released those FOI docs and emails yet.
or did he send them all to Mrs Blurts email account
The day is coming Guido !!!!!!
Unfortunately, many otherwise rational people cannot think of the 4x2s without the red mists of hatred descending. As they may think of themselves as liberal or progressive, this produces a cognitive dissonance that can only be relieved by projecting their hatred onto Isr-el.
The test is: out of all the troubled parts of the world, they obsess about a small sliver of land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan. Nowhere else produces the same visceral response.
Quite.
It’s very tiresome.
I think you will find that Downing Street produces similar reactions – from both sides of the fence, depending on which team is currently in residence.
The j e w s need to get over themselves. They are no more the chosen people than Asda’s food is ‘chosen by you’
Whither Hoon?
How many Russians were there killed in WWII, who cares?
1. Let the footloose members of the current generation from Africa and Asia benefit from the centuries of work and suffering of past generations of Europe.
2. Who decided that only one State in the Middle East should have Atomic Weapons?

Gosh I am so tired of oversensitive Jewry. Don’t they ever get bored of it?
Where exactly does he compare himself to a holocaust survivor? It looks to me like he merely quotes one to make a point. Paul Staines is a poodle on a short leash on all matters Israel, and no libertarian.
Yawn..
just another manufactured witch-hunt (timed to perfection) against anyone who deviates one iota from the tenets of the Cult of Holocaustianity…
Some Jews have even received the same treatment

I have mastered some points through your site post. One other thing I would like to state is that there are many games available on the market designed in particular for preschool age children. They incorporate pattern identification, colors, creatures, and styles.
