Fair play to her?
I think they're all glad to see the back of her she was useless. |

By:
pardon my ignorance,but how did she become a "baroness".
|
|
By:
got the hump when replaced as chairperson of tories.
I wondered about her title. |

By:

On 2 July 2007, Warsi was appointed Shadow Minister for Community Cohesion.[7] To take up the post, she was created a life peer as Baroness Warsi, of Dewsbury in the County of West Yorkshire, on 11 October 2007 and was introduced in the House of Lords on 15 October 2007.[8] On joining the House of Lords, she became its youngest member.[9]

She's not elected is she? Has she ever been elected?
Not sure what she was doing in the Government in the first place. She should go and fight a parliamentary seat on a Gaza ticket and see how she gets on. |

By:
yes well done Warsi

iirc, Her dad chucked loads of money at the tories, and she was given some rather nice, well paid jobs in govt.
It's nice to know she has a conscience. |

is she making a stand on the 170,000 dead in syria?
|

By:
Baroness Warsi resigned and the Tory spin machine is now putting it about she was a useless, gaffe-prone egotist. This might all be true but it is funny how they never noticed this in the four years between making her a Minister in the government, and her resignation.

Ironically it was the strong dictators like Assad and Saddam Hussein and Mubarak in Egypt who kept their countries safe for Christians and even Jews. |

Bloke on Newsnight last night said she's not really interested in Gaza, and that her resignation is just a shrewd career move ?

Could be she will cross the floor to the Labour benches.?!

Token female muzzie tory...Cameron desperately seeking to stick another one up before the G/E.

By:
A very cowardly thing to do.

By:
in fairness i think she left a highly paid lawyer's job (100k plus ) to be a female muslim mp for dewsbury which is probably quite brave..i've seen her resignation letter and it reads better than cameron's reply ...i'll confess though ,she is always on my 'fancy her and probably shouldn't list ' too !

she lost in Dewsbury, never been an MP, not elected...
|

By:
I am gettig sick of British mps pretending they have a moral conscience.
It was an easy decision to make requiring no intellectual or moral bravery. |
|
By:
my favourite moment was when she was on question time and described some revered radical islamic clerics as ' nutters ' ...
|
|
By:

|
By:
she would be decent looking if she lost a few pound

You don't know much about Dewsbury, do you? |
|
By:
.a bit . she did well against the rising bnp tide at the time .

I would but I think she's busy mate - no doubt condemning the slaughter of innocent christians by muslim hordes in africa and the middle east |
|
By:
Oh dear! Dewsbury itself is dying because of the overriding Muslim influence.

Token female muslim in govt.
Female asian vote guaranteed. Everybody knew it. In discussing immigration, Warsi said that people who back the BNP may have a point: They have some very legitimate views. People who say, 'we are concerned about crime and justice in our communities – we are concerned about immigration in our communities.' But it didn't stop her going by her pre-supplied party script and have a go at Nick Griffin, on the most one-sided Question Time programme in history, when he appeared on it. Had 4 jobs in the govt. all lasting less than 2 years. Never been elected. Criticised by Stonewall, the gayers group, and Labour MPs, that her election leaflets in 2005 were homophobic. We know muslims don't like poofs, but she didn't apologise for another 8 years. Accused of not being 'a proper muslim' and was pelted with eggs in Luton. In 2012, she was criticised by tory MPs of the 1922 Committee for her handling of MEP Roger Helmers defection to UKIP. A witness of the meeting said 'She had a very very tough time. She got it with both barrels from MPs across the party. For the party chairman to get treated like that shows what people think of the party chairman.' Another is reported to have said 'I just thought she was out of her depth. I have never seen anything like it – other than the last time she was before the 1922. I genuinely think she is the worst chairman we have ever had.' Also in 2012, like most pigs with their snout in the political trough, she conveniently 'forgot' to declare rental income over £5,000. Claimed £,2000 living expenses when staying free of charge in a house owned by Wafik Moustafa, a tory party donor. In 1986, aged 15, she was introduced to a group of young men in Pakistan. She chose one. In 1990 she married him. He was her cousin. As you do... |

she attacked Chancellor George Osborne and Chief Whip Michael Gove for failing to use their "very, very close" relations with the Israeli Government.
"I don't hold the fact that someone went to public school against them. I don't hold [against them] the fact that they haven't had the breadth of experience that some of us who didn't go to public school have had. "I hope that if I can be so understanding about their background and shortcomings, they can be understanding to those of us who haven't had those opportunities. loose canon in run up to election, obviously fuming about something |
