Simon Kirby MP provokes war with Russia

Simon Kirby, MP for Kemptown Brighton, provokes war with Russian by urging the Foreign Secretary, William Hague to 'exert pressure upon President Putin.'

Kirby vs Putin


Simon Kirby, MP for Kemptown in Brighton has appealed to Foreign Secretary William Hague to ‘exert external pressure upon President Putin and his Government’, in protest to the treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transvestite (LGBT) people in Russia.

Single Issued

In a letter written to Foreign Secretary William Hague, where in he uses the Foreign Secretaries first name in greeting, ‘Dear William’; he urges him to use the Winter Olympics in Sochi, as the ‘perfect opportunity’ to condemn the Russian Government’s treatment of LGBT people, ensuring the issue receives international attention.

Opportunist

Simon Kirby, Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Minister for Sport and Tourism, is latest UK political figure to speak out about the issue of gay rights in Russia.

Interfering

Matthew Taylor, an independent candidate standing against him in the 2015 General elections says that this proves Simon Kirby is only interested in the interests of the few and not the many.

Traitor

“Simon Kirby has always championed the interests of his friends and not the majority of his constituents living under the bread line. If only he was so vocal about the Bedroom Tax, and the changes to the Welfare System, which is affecting the majority of his constituents and driving them to suicide.”

Dangerous

“This proves Simon Kirby is unfit for office; by calling for war against the Russians and politicizing the Winter Olympics, he demonstrates an ego of dangerous proportions, which explains why this country is in so much trouble.”

Indifferent

“From now to the general election I am going to prove to the voters of Brighton that Simon Kirby cares nothing for the poor in his constituency, but only the LGBT and rich.”

Sycophant

Simon Kirby goes onto praise the Foreign Secretary as ‘a man who has fought tirelessly for the advancement of human rights across the world’ and provokes war with Russia by calling for ‘external pressure’ to be exerted upon President Putin.

Stupid

What Simon Kirby means by ‘external pressure’ is unclear, but the threat of action is plain to see, and carries with it the potential to further damage the fragile relationship between Russia and the West, and especially America and the United Kingdom.

Is this man fit to be an MP?

Are you seriously courting votes here ?

I find it difficult to believe that this rant is meant to get people to vote for you. After your previous rant -  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2013/08/511797.html?c=on#comments - didn't quite get the welcome you appear to be hoping for, I thought you may have rethought your strategy for this campaign.

As to stating "“This proves Simon Kirby is unfit for office; by calling for war against the Russians...", this is completely absurd and belies the claim on your website "“I’m standing up for the honest man. "!

Also from your website :

"Matt Taylor aged 41 who lives in Moulsecoomb is the leader of his one man SOS (Save Our Society) political party..."

Do you think anyone here will be surprised you're a 'one man political party' ?

This is quite telling too :

"Matt Taylor caused quite a stir in 2012 when he declared his intention to stand as a Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner candidate. Having appeared at seven hustings in the run up to the November 15th 2012 vote, he pulled out at the 11th hour, refusing to hand over the £5000 election deposit."

 http://gettingreadyfor2015.wordpress.com/2013/02/23/taylor-vs-kirby-genral-election-2015/

So once you'd realised nobody was going to vote for you, you withdrew from the contest and refused to pay the deposit ? So you're a liar, a fraud and a cheat and you feel people should vote for you ?

Good lord, the British people have spoked.

Gosh ,a Conservative nobody tried to pick a fight with the worlds largest nation state in a desperate attempt to gather up a little bit of honey from the gay lobby.

So just in case anybody from Russia (including his excellency President Vladimir Putin) is reading this, can you please ignore Mr Kirby and his gay chummery. We know you are already doing that at the UN with our Chinese friends but would you mind doing it over Sochi too. You see, the Conservative Party is sort of dying out now, and the Labour party are already dead but just don't know it. Which means that you and the very fine Chinese will have an opportunity in the not too distant future to support us, the British revolutionaries, as we take control.

I trust you will do the right thing when the time comes?

Yours sincerely,

The British people (not including the party political champagne swiggery and the 0.0045% who say they are in the MSM and won't shut up about it).
