فريق التحرير 6 June 2023

Conservative MP Bob Stewart has been accused of making racist remarks, allegedly telling a man to “return to Bahrain.” The Beckenham MP is now facing two public order charges following an incident that took place outside an event organized by the Bahraini embassy.

The incident occurred in December of the previous year when a campaigner confronted him about his connections to the country. Mr. Stewart is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on July 5.

The public has responded to this news with anger, taking to Twitter to express their outrage over the Conservative MP’s actions. Many see his behaviour as further evidence of the entitled attitude displayed by members of the Conservative party.

 

The public expressed significant outrage, particularly regarding Stewart’s response to the charges, where he offered an apology by stating, “I’m sorry if people interpreted my words as racist,” despite being faced with a court case for the alleged crime. Twitter users described him as anodious, entitled, and arrogant individual,” and voiced their belief that the entire Conservative government should be held accountable and “ deserves to rot in jail”.

As per public opinion, this is referred to as “ the never endingstream of raw sewage which keeps on coming from the Conservative party”.

Sayed AlWadaei, Director of Advocacy at Bird Bahrain, expressed on Twitter that this development marks a substantial progress towards ensuring accountability. He further conveyed his confidence in the British justice system as the case progresses.

Twitter users voiced their endorsement for his prosecution, emphasizing the significance of holding Members of Parliament accountable for their conduct. They stressed the need to allow the judicial process to proceed following the charge of racially aggravated abuse.

Another user expressed the sentiment that it is long overdue for Conservative MPs who have exhibited such behaviour to face legal proceedings and confront the repercussions of their actions in court.

 

Others also commented that based on Bob Stewart’s response, it is evident that he does not feel remorse for making racist remarks. They believe he only regrets being caught in the act and now facing charges as a result.
