The language used by Cllr Hobbins – shortlisted by David Cameron to run London – is offensive in the extreme and shows his party has not come to terms with modern Britain.We are told the Tory Taliban surge in Norfolk was an isolated incident – clearly there is a growing insurgency in the party given the latest revelations.
Firstly, why is some candidate in Streatham commenting on this?
Well, actually, there's a perfectly simple reason. Google "Chuka Umunna" and you will find endless profiles of him, and disgusting groupthink labelling him, entirely without justification, the "British Obama" (a jumped-up non-entity himself), amongst other things.
Umunna is simply a middle class lawyer who would quickly be given ministerial jobs if Labour won the next election, because for all that Labour get the black vote, they rarely have black MPs. Not only this, but as soon as he becomes an MP - an unfortunate likelihood, he would somehow be considered a future leader of the Labour party because of his race. I maintain that the first Sikh Prime Minister will be a Tory. The first Hindu Prime Minister will be a Tory. The first Muslim Prime Minister will be a Tory, and the first black Prime Minister will be a Tory.
Because we are meritocrats.
Anyway, back to what he said.
"shows his party has not come to terms with modern Britain" - hardly, Chuka, it's one individual. Come on.
"clearly there is a growing insurgency in the party given the latest revelations" - precisely the same comment.
Idiocy.

"I have been contacted by a Mr Dilon Gumraj and a Zerha Zaidi. Not one of them has a 'normal' English name. Why are the Candidates Department so keen on these foreign names?!!!!"
I do wonder what you might have said, had a potential Labour candidate been exposed writing such an email.
Of course, though - Hobbins is a Tory and therefore by definition a meritocrat, isn't he? His problem with Gumraj and Zaidi is probably that they're just not good enough, not that, say, he feels that a Conservative candidate should have a "normal English name".
Yes, that must be it.
(and being strictly fair, it's not Umunna's fault that The New Statesman name-dropped him in an Obama-bandwagon-riding article, is it?)
I had no comment to make about the councillor, really.
