Deborah Hopkins Reinstated As A Labour PPC For 2015

August 1, 2014

Some pleasantly surprising, very welcome progess.

A Labour candidate who described the Coalition as “murdering b******s” has been re-instated by the party.

Deborah Hopkins has said she will fight the next election as the candidate for St Austell and Newquay, after her suspension was lifted by Labour’s National Executive Committee.

The suspension came after she issued a series of foul-mouthed Tweets in which she suggested that Government officials were intentionally killing people.

In one message, she described employees at the Department for Work and Pensions as “evil” and suggested they seek “population control by starvation.”

In another, she claimed Conservative Party objectives included “killing the sick, starving the disabled, evicting the poor, destroying the hopes of children, stealing billions from the public.”

She also praised Russell Brand, the left-wing comedian who has called for a “joyful revolution”, writing: “Your eloquent, meticulous passionate rage inspirational. Tear the bloody walls down.”

In a further message, she told a fellow Twitter user: “I’d call you a c— but you have neither the depth or the warmth.”

Ms Hopkins has spoken at Labour Party conference and been photographed alongside the shadow Cabinet members. The Tories said her candidature raises questions about Ed Miliband’s judgement.

St Austell is held by Stephen Gilbert, a Liberal Democrat. Labour were last year in third place behind the Tories.

Revealing her re-instatement on Facebook, Ms Hopkins wrote: “We are pleased to announce that my suspension has been lifted. I am delighted to be the PPC for St Austell and Newquay again.

“I am looking forward to rejoining the rest of the Cornwall Labour family, campaigning for all people struggling with the Coallition Cost of Living Crisis.

“Let’s get back to business and work for a Labour majority in 2015. See you on the doorsteps…”

A Labour Party spokesman confirmed she had been reinstated after apologising.

    Deborah Hopkins is correct in what she says all she now do is to adopt the Persona of Sybil Fawlty from Fawlty Towers which will highlight the present governments death record of the sick and disabled while at the same time managing to not sound so blunt with the message “murdering b******s” of which they are

    I would indeed vote for Doborah Hopkins but not in the Labour party as it is now.

    How to win is on my personal website at:
    http://www.theswansnewparty.org.uk

    If Deborah Hopkins ran as a Prime Minister candidate for a Labour Left led not Progress led Labour party with the policies of the socialists back in 1997, that would give her and a properly left wing Labour a landslide victory in 2015, because there are 23 million over 50s in the UK today, who are the last age group left voting.

    The over 50s, would then help people of all ages.

    The socialists would also win from all ages, by taking on board what The Greens have just put in their 2015 election manifesto of the universal non-means tested citizen wage, to replace all the horrific benefit sanctions regime, leaving people to starve, of whatever age.

    Anybody?
