Ridiculous Rashi has sacked Suella Braverman. Ridiculous Rashinis going to be absolutely smashed, a Moditler supporter, absolutely disgusting of the English Conservatives.

The Anti-Semites, English Labour Party and the Corbynites have won.

The Jews will now be unsafe in England than ever before. They will probably need to sell up and leave.
