It’s no secret that the British are extremely anti-Semitic and anti-Israel. It’s no secret that the British repeatedly sided with the Arab Muslims when the British controlled what was then “Palestine” until Israel became an official state. (They seemed to relish in sending Jews back to Hitler-controlled Europe, to be murdered in the Holocaust. While in Palestine, the British soldiers often made anti-Semitic trinkets and dolls to mock the Jews.) And it’s no secret that there are now something like 12 times as many Muslims as Jews in the United Kingdom (and fast growing beyond that), and so the British continue to display their anti-Semitism, while the Muslims destroy their country and they do nothing about it. And so it’s no surprise that yet another British Member of Parliament displays his Jew-hatred in a BBC undercover interview. In this case, it’s Conservative Party MP Patrick Mercer, a former BBC correspondent himself (as I’ve noted before, the “Conservatives” of Britain would be liberals in America–their “conservatism” is only relative to the far left of Britain’s Labor Party and other such wacko parties there).

Patrick Mercer described a young Israeli soldier as looking like a “bloody Jew” in a conversation secretly recorded during the course of an undercover investigation. In small talk with an undercover reporter posing as a lobbyist, the Conservative MP described meeting a young female soldier during a recent trip he had taken to Israel. Mr Mercer said that when the young woman told him she was a soldier, he thought: “You don’t look like a soldier to me. You look like a bloody Jew.”

It was not the first time that he has made apparently racist comments. He was sacked from David Cameron’s shadow cabinet in 2007 after saying he had met “a lot” of “idle and useless” ethnic minority soldiers who used racism as a “cover”. He also said that being called a “black b——” was a normal part of Army life.

The remarks triggered the beginning of a political decline for the former soldier who has been the Conservative MP for Newark since 2001. Yesterday he announced his intention to resign from Parliament at the next general election after being confronted by The Daily Telegraph over the lobbying scandal. . . .

His personal life has also attracted notice. In 2010, Sarah Coyle, a House of Commons secretary, claimed he had a three-year affair with her, saying she left her husband after Mr Mercer promised to leave his wife, Caitriona, after the 2010 election, but he reneged on his promise.

What a loathsome creep. But, then, that usually goes hand in hand with Jew-hatred.
