Abdullah Patel was one of those lucky selected few who enjoyed about 2 of their allotted 15 minutes of fame to ask a question to the Tory leadership hopefuls on Tuesday night, ‘live’ on the BBC. His question to Boris was, essentially, about the power of words to cause hurt and enduring consequences. He was talking, specifically, about BoJo’s infamous comments about women in burqas resembling ‘letter boxes’. And the implication was that such comments fuel, enable or at least provide an acceptable context for Islamaphobia. Good question. You’d’a thought.

But Mr Patel, a schoolteacher and Imam, was possibly not the man to be live on the BBC. Because research has shown that… research needs to be done. Before allowing anyone on prime time (or otherwise) tv. And even with the extra money that the BBC are getting from those poor, starving over 75s, they fucked it up.

Because our Abdullah is no ‘mere Imam, nicey-nicey teacher’. In fact he has a long and distinguished history of posting comments on social media that neither you nor I would really agree with or deem ‘fit for any kind of publication’.

‘You’ wouldn’t like the comments about women, basically, white women are all sluts; nor the acceptance of the random murder of a British policeman by a Muslim as being the fault of British Foreign policy. And ‘I’ wouldn’t like the ending of that which says; ‘the real problem is Israel’.

The program’s producer has claimed simply that Patel suspended his Twitter account and thus none of the highly inflammatory, nasty or evil postings could be seen. Then he fired it up again, after the debate, for the whole world to see the radical within, once more.

But the school at which he worked, contentiously installing a segregation policy even on the parents attending assemblies and meetings, would have had access for years to his poisonous, radical outpourings. And if he’s been spouting his bullshit at least since 2003, when PC Stephen Oake was murdered, his online profile must extend way beyond the Twittersphere and onto articles and forums all over the web. Which you’d kind’a think the BBC might find without too much trouble during their ‘extensive’ research. Although there was another questioner who actually works for the Labour Party. Which is very different from being a Labour member or voter, who have every right to question our future PM.

Abdullah Patel is piece of shit. An assessment I make based on… the fact that he is. But a question to the BBC: HOW FUCKING HARD CAN IT BE TO FIND NORMAL PEOPLE TO ASK THE BLEEDIN QUESTIONS???? There’s only 60 million candidates out there for that job.

Happy Thursday. Mine started at 4.55am. Other than Spurs Paul, what time did yours start?
