A jolly in apartheid South Africa breaching international sanctions didn\u2019t stop David Cameron becoming PM. The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, didn\u2019t need to use anything as sophisticated as \u201cMutton-headed old mugwump\u201d to ridicule black people. He merely described us as \u2018piccaninnies\u2019 with \u2018watermelon smiles\u2019 who should be grateful that white people saved us from relying \u2018On nothing but the instant carbohydrate gratification of the plantain\u2019. Racism in the Tory party is rife and unchecked. \u00a0Now it’s Anne Marie Morris<\/a> casually using the N-Word at a venue insensitively named the East India Club! \u00a0Perhaps her imperial sensibilities took control. Apology followed. \u00a0Alas, this is what happens when leaders brand good manners \u2018political correctness gone mad\u2019. As a broadcaster and writer, I believe in free speech, but we all have to accept there are some things one should not say. Even the racists amongst us. And if one does, there should be consequences.<\/p>\n

N*****<\/span><\/h2>\n

The N-Word is the racist’s ultimate curse for black people. It encompasses all the user\u2019s hate and belief that I am a lazy and inferior being.<\/p>\n

Anne Marie Morris may be one. We know her partner and agent Roger Kendrick has a shallow opinion of anyone who is not white<\/a>. Morris did distanced herself from his toxic views but it was during an election. So, she can do the right thing regardless of her age.<\/p>\n

I do not believe that her N***** figure of speech was \u2018unintentional\u2019. I imagine that is standard chitchat for Morris and partner among friends and Tories. Morris was in the company of Black Tory MP Kwasi Kwarteng<\/a> when she made her remark. \u00a0Senior Tories John Redwood <\/a>and Sir Bill Cash<\/a> were present, but nobody objected.<\/p>\n

Racism has not lead to the expulsion of a Tory. It just doesn\u2019t matter enough. It might even be good for promotion.<\/p>\n

Racism & Expulsion<\/span><\/h2>\n

It took David Cameron 17 years, and Boris Johnson the Mayoral election before they ‘apologised’ for their comments. Like Morris\u2019s apology, they were for political gain devoid of any self-reflection. Cameron went on to describe refugees fleeing conflict as \u2018A bunch of migrants\u2019, and a \u2018swarm\u2019 and Boris insulted Sikhs. Both supported Zak Goldsmith\u2019s racist mayoral election campaign.<\/p>\n

The Tory party has a history of racism. Derek Laud, a former aide to both Margaret Thatcher and John Major, said in 2015 that the Tories are \u2018The ultimate racists because they deal in stereotypes.\u2019 They also deal with power.<\/p>\n

Racist remarks have no place in British life. MPs and other leaders who indulge such behaviour are sending the message that racism and intolerance are okay. It\u2019s not, and the government needs to lead by example.<\/p>\n

That is why Theresa May should expel Morris. We all have to accept there are some things one should not say, even racists.<\/p>\n
