Badenoch says there was ‘nothing wrong’ with Jenrick’s ‘didn’t see another white face’ comments
Kemi Badenoch said that Robert Jenrick was not a “wrong” interpretation of “another white face, and insisted that he just made an observation.
Shadow Justice Secretary was criticized for comments that he claimed that he did not see any other white face ”while visiting Birmingham earlier this year.
In March, Birmingham, Handsworth commented to Birmingham after a 90 -minute visit and said, olmayan This is not the kind of country I want to live in ”, Guardian notified.
Mrs. Badenoch, who was asked about her statements on Tuesday, criticized the left -leaning newspaper and said that she received her report “a pinch of salt”.
The Tora leader said: “The truth is that these are non -context records, I don’t know what to discuss before.
“On his own, this is a real expression. If he says he has not seen another white face, he may be making an observation. There is nothing wrong with observation.
“I wasn’t there, so I can’t say how many faces you see, but there is a lot of people in our country.
And Mr. Jenrick doubled in the comments on Tuesday and said that he would “be shy” one of his integration problems.
When asked if he regretted his comments, he said to the BBC Radio 5 Live, “No, not at all and I will not hesitate to these problems.”
But at the end of the words, he said, “This is not about skin color or faith.”
Then he asked why he grows skin color: “Because it is incredibly important that we have a completely integrated society regardless of the color of their skin or the belief they fit.”
“If there is a country where people live in ghettoize communities where they do not live side by side in harmonious communities, we have seen that they can do in society, so it is incredibly important for us to solve it.”
“Robert is wrong,” he said, “Robert is wrong, to claim that Handsworth is a problem with integration.
He told BBC News night: “I was a mayor for seven years and I was proud to be the mayor of the most various places in the UK.
“Frankly, Robert is wrong. This is a place that I know very well… Actually, it is a very integrated place. If you go along the main streets, you will see the Christians of the Sigles, Hindus, Muslims, Africa and the Caribbean and of course white people.”
Emek told the colored people that he did not have to özmek justify their British ”to the shadow of the shadow justice secretary.
Speaking at the dinner of an Aldridge-Brownhills Conservative Association on March 14, Jenrick said that it was not “about the color of your skin or your belief”, but people living with each other ”.
In the leaked record, he could say that Mr. Jenrick could be heard: “The other day I went to Handsworth in Birmingham to make a video about the garbage and was absolutely scary.
“As close to a slum neighborhood in this country as close as I came.
“But the other thing I noticed was one of the worst integrated places I’ve ever been to. Actually, I was taking news there in an hour and a half, I didn’t see any other white face.
“This is not the kind of country I want to live.
“I want to live in a country where people are properly integrated. This is not about the color of your skin or belief, of course not, but I want people to live together with each other, not parallel lives.”
Labor Party President Anna Turley criticized Mr. Jenrick for evaluating her own comfort, whether there are other white faces around ”.
Redcar deputy said: “This weekend, Kemi Badenoch said that he was standing against a policy that puts people into categories and then attracts each other.
“Robert Jenrick reduces people to the color of his skin in his leaked comments and judges his own comfort as there are other white faces around him.
“His comments clearly exceed a red line that the leader rightly put forward.
“Colorful people should not have to justify their English, British or their assets in this country to Robert Jenrick or someone else.
“Robert Jenrick needs to explain him urgently, and why these comments are compatible with what the party leader said yesterday.”
