TORY TOFF Jacob Rees-Mogg was slammed by Black Lives Matter after the government minister banned civil servants from supporting the BLM movement.

The black civil rights group said that “race-hater” Rees-Mogg was a remnant of a bygone racist era that should be “permanently abolished.”

Remarks by the Leader of the House of Commons is just the latest in a long line of attacks on BLM by ministers.

A spokesperson from Black Lives Matter UK said: “Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg is a political irrelevant to the Black Lives Matter Movement, that is a humanitarian, social and civil right movement that will outlive his meagre mortal existence.

“He and his likeminded cronies with similar prejudice, racist inclination and tendencies really couldn’t care less about British Black and Brown people, nor have a desire to ever witness and live in and through racial equality in Britain, in their lifetime and to be fair the feeling of not caring for him and his cronies is genuinely mutual but for far different reason.

“We are for racial equality for all people, unlike his stagnant bad self and similar race haters alike. His mindset is as antiquated as the colonial British system that to this very day has throw back remnants still existing in Britain that seriously needs to be thoroughly overhauled, recognised as racially offensive, addressed and ultimately discontinued, and permanently abolished, this is in reference to the Queens ‘British Empire’ honours, since mentioned the Queen in his statement.”

Speaking on a podcast for ConservativeHome, the Tory MP expressed that permanent secretaries should remain “completely apolitical” unless backing state occasions like Remembrance Sunday and the Queen’s upcoming Platinum Jubilee.

The Government Efficiency Minister was quizzed about top civil servants Sir Stephen Lovegrove and Jonathan Slater who were both slammed for showing support for the Black Lives Matter with the use of its hashtag. 

He replied: “Permanent secretaries should be completely apolitical. They can remember state events, they can remember Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday and the Queen’s Jubilee.”

Rees-Mogg, who is also serving as Brexit Minister, joins a long list of Tory MPs who have previously shared their lack of support for the BLM movement.

Home Secretary Priti Patel described the summer of protests that engulfed the UK in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd as “dreadful.”

While the  Health Secretary, Savid Javid, labelled the movement as not a “force for good” and claimed that those in charge of organising anti-racism demonstrations were “neo-Marxist”.

Writing in the The Sun, Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi said that teachers should focus on “education not indoctrination” and prompted cause for “worrying” race theories being taught in classrooms to be investigated.

The government’s “far-right” stance on race has come under continued criticism from activists and campaign groups. 

Speaking to The Voice, Dr Mos-Shogbamimu said it was the government and not teachers, who were guilty of “brainwashing” children.

She said: “There is no brainwashing about race if we are telling the truth about race. In fact, if we look at the history and what we’ve been taught in schools, that’s the whitewashed version.

“History has been deliberately distorted to fit the white supremacy narrative. Today’s generation of future generations must be told the truth, they must be taught to critically think.”
