Cabinet minister accused of sending racist Coronavirus message

[Fambo Number Mive]

Cabinet minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan is accused of stoking racial tension after circulating an anti-Chinese jibe to Tory MPs.

The International Development Secretary, 51 – tasked with delivering £13.4billion in overseas aid – sent it to a WhatsApp group which was discussing concerns that China is exploiting the coronavirus pandemic.

A disgusted MP forwarded a screenshot to the Sunday Mirror, saying: "This should cost the minister her job. It's an appalling example of old-fashioned stereotypes."...

You can see the alleged message at the Mirror link. If she did send this, I think she should resign as a minister and lose the Tory whip. There is no excuse for sending such a meme, especially at a time when Chinese people in the UK have been facing an upsurge in racism.I'm sure the voters of Berwick-upon-Tweed would not be impressed.

You really couldn't make it up.  I simply wouldn't be believable.

Sorry all the adults got together and decided the only form of racism that gets people sacked is the kind that damages the left of the labour party.

She adds "Just for Bob" – Bob Seely, the MP campaign-ing against Chinese tech giant Huawei supplying 5G network kit. He replied with a love heart and smiley face.

Bob Seely is the MP for the Isle of Wight

I hear you're a racist now, Minister? How did you get interested in that type of thing?

[Indomitable Spirit]

Hey, just because she's a massive fucking racist doesn't necessarily stop her from being good at her job as *checks notes*... International Development Secretary.

I reckon Anne and Bob are delighted about Cummings taking the heat off them.

Come on, be fair, at least they hadn't replaced the r's with l's. It's actually quite progressive.

I am absolutely disgusted.

It should be 'You NO have coronavirus'.

Very dishonourable communication

[Sony Walkman Prophecies]

She probably doesn't hate Chinese people, but it is unfathomably stupid for a cabinet minister to send someone that, even in a private group. But then, we live in a world of rampant internet addiction where even important public figures use the web as an open latrine.

[jobotic]

News elsewhere suggests that she can do whatever the fuck she wants with no consequences. As does the presence of Patel at cabinet meetings.

In a way you have to feel sorry for the likes of Neil Hamilton and John Profumo. Had they begun their political careers in our century, they could just laid low for a year before being snuck back in, by which point no one would remember who they were, let alone what they'd done.
