>> A conservative Member of Parliament compared taking a knee to protest against racism
to doing a Nazi salute >> LBC host James O'Brien
brought this story to the masses. >> Good afternoon, well, it's another
busy week coming up at Westminster. >> Of this prick, Brendan Clarke-Smith,
a conservative In England.
>> The fella talking about the Nazi salute probably wouldn't have got on the show yesterday,
on this show. Probably, if the producer put a note on the screen saying he's comparing it to
the Nazi salute, I'd be like no, no, >> O'Brien for his part puts it in
perspective quite well.
So Clarke-Smith, who claims to be a huge fan of England, and we'll be rooting for them
in the euros, did the unthinkable and quite frankly showed conservatism 101.
When an anti-racist silent gesture takes place, pivot to the inhumane, make the Ben Shapiro
like straw man argument and continue making the comparison in hopes of diminishing shock value.
>> What do you think, Keith? We're not gonna tell you that one, aren't we? It's
all a little bit unnecessary, a little bit inflammatory, a little bit
gross. >> Yep, facts,
and then some, Clarke wrote that these players did not wanna give the Nazi salute but were forced to.
And it has been a great source of shame
for many of those involved ever since. >> So it would seem now that a conservative
Member of Parliament can state publicly something that we would consider to be
too disgusting to actually put out on the radio. Is that a point of no return?
We'll find out. >> Thus far, not a single member of Clarke-Smith's
party has spoken out against his divisive words. >>
This is how England's national team has been treated by their fellow countrymen and women,
England's manager Gareth Southgate. >> I think some people aren't quite understanding
the message and I suppose we're seeing that across a number of football grounds at the moment.
>> The manager and players of England's national team
have made it clear why they are kneeling. If you've followed our work, you know what it is
and what the protest is about. It's a silent, simplistic gesture, yet bigoted fans despise
it. Like Brendan Clarke-Smith, a Tory, whose track record is murky to begin with.
Marcus Rashford, a star for Manchester United and the England National Team has become a
godsend for the community. Rashford launched a petition urging his government to make a change
for the betterment of society, help end child poverty, and extend free school meal vouchers.
Even though as he showed via his Twitter page, this system is failing many.
He became involved in the campaign for free school meals in 2020, when school closures in lockdown
meant that children in need might have missed out on the free daily meal provided by schools,
a lifeline for many families. Take a wild guess what Clarke-Smith's reaction was,
he called for less celebrity virtue signalling on Twitter, basically singling out Rashford.
Rashford is doing anything but a celebrity virtue
signal or on Twitter. He has personal experience receiving free meals as a kid.
There's a reason he is so passionate about this issue and someone like Brendan Clarke-Smith
is not. Might not come as a shocker, but Clarke-Smith's party voted down Rashford's
bid to feed more than 1.4 million children during school breaks until Easter next year.
He also said, he did not believe in nationalising children and asked when did
that become controversial to expect parents to take responsibility for their children.
>> And we stopped by the police on a Sunday in town.
>> Dawn Butler, MP for Brent Central, was racially profiled by police.
The MP for Brent Central said police had to stop associating being black and driving a nice car
with crime. Who else than Clarke-Smith's racist ass chimed in saying Butler should be thankful of
police, instead of criticising them, after she was stopped in London on August 9th. On the issue of
white privilege, Mr. Clarke Smith said, I find the concept of white privilege racist within itself.
He also criticized Black Lives Matter protesters as undesirables and the loony
left. There certainly is lunacy in this world. The direct association of the word can only be
linked to one side, Brendan Clarke-Smith and the conservative alt-right Tories.
