Shortly before her tragic death, Ann Widdecombe launched a scathing attack on woke diversity quotas, arguing that prioritising identity over merit has significantly degraded the competence of politicians. "They give priority to women, to people of ethnic origin, to gays, to whatever it might be. They're interested in quotas."... "That, to my mind, is a complete nonsense, and it's what guarantees low quality."show more

She was murdered Because she was a normal thinker & believed in free speech. She found out about the pervert class too.

She’s everything the left hates, a white , right wing , straight biological woman , they are the real fascists and may this lady rest in peace

She's spot on. Also why we are failing as a country. BRING BACK MERITOCRACY. RIP Ann. 🫡💐🕯🕊

Great nations are built by strong heterosexual men. Pandering to minorities is a recipe for disaster, as we can clearly see.

Widdecombe was a straight shooter she called A DALMATIAN A DALMATIAN!

@ConceptualJames

When your police force are literally picked from Antifa and The LGBTQ community, Anne won't get justice as long as the Enemy to our Sovereign country is policing and politically weaponized against the right common sense minds.

This interview hits home with the fact Ann Widdecombe was very much sharp of mind, not frail and old as suggested but full of life and a real benefit to the political scene for years to come. R.I.P. Ann Widdecombe ✝️ Rot in hell the person responsible 🤬

If anyone was murdered on the right they would have all said the same thing. I think the problem is what made her different to the rest. Her views on gay marriage? Trans men? I think it could be the later, as they are the most deranged

@SoapboxCharlie This is why our country is in such a mess. Box ticking leads to much lower standards.

Politicians are puppets; they have low IQ, and they are not in control of the Government:

She was killed as a deterrent… it will have the complete opposite effect. Sickening country/world we find ourselves in currently

Devastated at her loss. No more good, honest politicians left.

Widdecombe deserves recognition, an inspiration standing for free speech too. Bad laws are made to be broken. Break them 🤔

Like many people, I disagreed with some things she said but I always admired her willingness to be honest about her opinions. On this she was absolutely bang on the money. Meritocracy became a dirty word years ago because 'quotas'. If I need a surgeon, lawyer, MP, dentist, cake maker or GP, I want the best. I don't want someone imposed on me because of their sex, colour of their skin, nationality or sexual preference. Also, I would personally be mortified if I only got a job because people who were different from me were excluded.

@jenny3233764572 She was a wise woman who told it as it was, many seen it., some like Ann experienced it and then came the era of grift! And those of us that earned our place with hard work now had to carry the inept until we either burned out or were replaced by more inept! Truth is dangerous!

For the Democrats, it went so far that the backroom team appointed Kamala Harris as a candidate, a person who had scored very poorly in the previous term's debates. It makes me wonder who is running the party. They appear to want to end elections.

Dumbing down western society was the goal. Infiltration and invasion by the Marxist Globalists. Strong free will men and women need not apply.

She is correct and Charlie Kirk was right when he said he'd think twice if getting a flight piloted by an ethnic minority. NOT racism but the thinking is, well is this a good person for the job. You have maybe a better pilot who is white but he doesn't get the job due to quotas.

Should be about the fittest to lead, not the religion or colour of their skin or the sex they think they are.

@DarrenPlymouth I completely agree with her. So very sad about her death. I liked her and her nonsense approach to life. She was a highly intelligent and very wise lady. RIP Ann and God bless 🙏 🌹 💐

Anne Widdecombe is the UKs Charlie Kirk @RealCandaceO 😢

i agree competence matters. rupert lowe calls out the quota madness reform just keeps the same tokenism.

Increasing women in public life is never a bad thing. However, entry requirements should not drop. If the cohort (sex, race, age etc) can't reach those levels, put training into place so that they can

I might not have agreed with everything in Ann's politics but this is a absolutely spot on. Everything she says here is correct. A wonderful woman indeed. She did not deserve her fate, and now I doubt she will get any justice for her brutal murder. RIP dear Ann.

And she was correct. Same in most public sector organisations. If i was needing heart surgery, i want the best heart surgeon, not somebody selected to fill a quota to represent the local community. Why should it be any differnet for engineers, civil servants and politicians?

@askelly1984 All started with Blair…

Well, we better say something here on twitter like “wtf?! RIP” then get back to watching our sports ball and doing nothing about it, right normies?

The fabians didn't like that...

Judging by the shit show in politics today, I would say she was right.

If the left hate her that much she must have been telling the truth

@FlowerP79667758 She’s right, they’re bombing off competent to hire incompetent based on things that have zero relevance to the job at hand. You can either do the job or you can’t and that’s all that should matter

Too bad she didn't have a handgun stashed in every room so she could defend herself against a home invader, because of the UK's rights-violating anti-gun laws.

I've got a 50 on a trans activist
