Lee Anderson argues with Nottingham BBC presenter and asks if she's lied 10 times
Nottinghamshire MP Lee Anderson clashed with a local BBC radio presenter as an argument blew up, where he asked her 10 times if she’d ever told a lie. The outspoken MP for Ashfield, who has just been made deputy Conservative Party chairman, hit the headlines when an interview emerged where he called for the death penalty to return.
But a microphone picks up Mr Anderson telling a voter not to tell the film crew he is a friend when they knock on his door. “There is a worry by some that you might be a bit dishonest,” Cowley said.Mr Anderson then asks Cowley if she has ever told a lie a number of times. She said: “I’ve never asked somebody to pretend to be something they’re not just to further my campaign.”
Adebolajo was given a whole-life term and Adebowale was jailed for a minimum of 45 years for running over and stabbing the British Army soldier in south-east London in broad daylight. Mr Anderson told the magazine: “Now I’d be very careful on that one because you’ll get the certain groups saying: ‘You can never prove it’.
He said that during a visit to Calais last month he met migrants referring to Britain as “El Dorado”. “They are seeing a country where the streets are paved with gold – where, once you land, they are not in that manky little f****** scruffy tent,” Mr Anderson said.
