Bigoted, nasty, xenophobic anti woke Party?

 Hi All,

After last weeks drama we now have a full blown leadership contest in the Conservative &Unionist Party to decide who will become the next UK Prime Minister. But if you were a genial Martian and you happened to read Twitter or left wing outlets you would conclude that the Conservative Party is full of bigoted, racist xenophobes, mostly white and middle class, determined on a vile 'cultural war' which attacks trans people and ethnic minorities (translation : those who hold either to common sense,  to science or religion in respect of how to define a woman and those who think destroying statues and ripping up memorials in churches is not they way to achieve a just society) . 

Yet curiously - could it be that the left is extremly hpyocritical ?- it is the Conservative Party which has produced a diverse list of candidates who have got there on the merits of their colleagues votes  and unlike Labour there is no 'women only' short lists. 

For example : 

8 candidates

of which 4 or 50% are women. 

Of which 2 are ethnic minorties - one of East African- Indian hertiage and one of African heritage 

Yes that's right, the Conservatives have 25% of these candidates as ethnic minority women and  could choose as the next leader and Prime Minister, either a black woman (a devout Evangelical Christian)  or Indian woman (who says that the British Empire was a force for good in the world and got attacked in true Twitteria fashion for doing so).

Of the four men, half are from ethnic minority backgrounds and religious minority backgrounds as well :

1 is of East African -Indian heritage and a Hindu.

1 is of Iraqi -Kuridsh heritage and a Muslim

1 is married to a woman of Japanese heritage 

1 whose mother is French

So if we were going to bring everything down to - which we won't as it's the left's fetish- a person's religious or ethnic status as defining who should win anyone can see that the Conservatives have produced 8 candidates of diverse backgrounds..... then go and look at the Labour contest, compare and contrast....
