Why is the Left blaming GB News, not Islamism, for the deadly attack on a Pride march?

You may not have heard of Kate Osborne before, with her blaming Reform UK and GB News for a deadly attack by a Muslim on a Pride march. I sincerely hope you will not be hearing from her again.

Explain to me why it is the Left will blame anybody but followers of Islam for these outrages.

Take Ms Osborne. Please. As you might expect, this MP for Gateshead is a great advocate of trans rights and married to a woman with two children.

On hearing one person was dead and 29 others were injured when Abdul Ballout deliberately used his van to crash into marchers celebrating their sexuality, you would have thought Ms Osborne would be outraged at a religion which clearly hates homosexuality.

Oh no. Not a peep from her about how Islamists are typically at the centre of violence across Europe. Either attacking innocent shoppers, innocent Jews or innocent concertgoers.

She had every opportunity to take to the media and unload on the Muslim terrorist or to ask the question, 'Why always the Muslims?'

Instead, she chose, having given it some thought, to say it was all the fault of Nigel Farage's party and the People's Channel. How do these people get into positions of power with a brain wired like that?

This is what Ms Osborn (who worked for 25 years at the Royal Mail – imagine it was a small leaving party) said in a statement: ‘’To Reform UK and GB News broadcasting content and language that attacks and vilifies the LGBTQ+ community to the attack on Berlin Pride.

‘’We see these patterns emerging across Europe, and escalation of hate, verbal attacks online as a catalyst for physical violence.’’

Isn’t that amazing? Not a word it was a Muslim to blame. Not a word Muslims have thrown their countrymen off buildings because of their sexuality. Not a word. Gays across Muslim countries fear a knock on the door from religious police; in places like Iran, the death penalty and flogging are the norm.

None of that mattered; it was all the fault of Mr Farage and Britain's News Channel. How mad is this woman? Did the voters of Gateshead realise their representative would rather blame a television station than the murderer?

Ms Osborne is in line with other Lefties. Especially if they are gay themselves. Stonewall talked about "immense sadness" and that "hate and violence are always unacceptable".

No s***, Sherlock.

But not once did Stonewall mention the killer was Muslim. If this were a one-off attack, I could understand it. But there is no other religion so steeped in violence as Islam.

Where are the Christian killers? The Jewish killers roaming Europe? The Hindu killers wandering around the Cotswolds.

They do not exist.

Unbelievably, Ms Osborne has been in Parliament since the 2019 election.

She has barely made a ripple. I prefer it that way. A period of silence would be more than welcome.

It should be a requirement from our new Prime Minister Andy Burnham.
