There seems to have been a fair bit of activity at this blog of late regarding the post from March about the Hanger Hill Ealing Conservative Councillor Benjamin Dennehy and his blogged remarks about Indians in Southall. You might remember that he claimed that this group ‘exploits their own people in squalid third world living conditions’ and also implied that gambling, drug addiction, prostitution and illegal immigrantion in Southall were widespread.
Well last week the pending enquiry in between then and now concluded by sealing his fate from “suspended” to “expelled” from the Conservative Party. Read the full story at the Ealing Gazette here. If you haven’t visited the original story at mine of late, witness the almighty ding-dong that ensued in the comments section here. The aftermath, in short, far outweighs the original post.

The right result.
It was interesting to note Millican’s muted and barely condemnatory language on the issue. It is a very poor reflection of his leadership if it took expulsion from the party centrally to force his hand. Some of the more moderate members of the conservative must feel very let down by the local hierarchy on this issue…

David Cameron is unavailable for any comments, he’s trying to remember where he last had a cornish pasty. Poor Mr Dennehy, he once went back packing in India and thinks they’re splendid chaps

I’m astonished to see that Benjamin Dennehy has been expelled from the Conservative party for making those comments about Southall when the research carried out by various newspaper and television investigative journalists arrive at the same conclusions as he does. What a confused party the Tories have become. As confused, in fact, as New Labour. Both now hide behind political correctness and are afraid to speak out candidly about social issues which are related to immigration and race. Thankfully Panorama and Dispatches keep on asking and answering the difficult questions.

methinks we need stronger anti-racism laws to deal with people like monty and Mr Sanderson

Unfortunately,it will just be a matter of time before Panorama & Dispatches get hauled up before the thought police or just smeared as racists.
Hat tip to Labour, anyone that wants to raise the issue of immigration et al always gets slapped down as a racist, one of the best forms of censorship ever.

‘‘exploits their own people in squalid third world living conditions’
Can you please indicate which part of the recent Panorama / Dispatches film was incorrect?
The garages used to house & rip-off illegal immigrants are fictitious?
The garages featured in the film had planning permission from the local council to be used for residential purposes?
There is not a large community of illegal immigrants in the area?

Whites also exploit their own people, and have done for centuries. What is disgusting is people like you making it into a race issue. Sort out your own f***ing community before you attack the Indians.
