Lichfield’s MP is among hundreds of UK politicians to be sanctioned by Russia – but says he would have been disappointed not to have been included on the list.
The Interfax news agency confirmed that 287 MPs would be subject to “personal restrictions”.
Among them was Conservative MP Michael Fabricant, who spoke on the issue after Prime Minister’s Questions this week.
Speaking afterwards, Mr Fabricant said his vocal criticism of Russia’s actions meant he would have expected to be on any such list.
“I would have been quite insulted had I not been sanctioned by the Russian Government given my well known criticism of Putin and my regular highlighting of both the cruelty and incompetence of the Russian army.”
Michael Fabricant MP
Yawn
Well it’s a start. Can we now ban him from Lichfield and Burntwood?
Fabricant has become a tumour on Lichfield. I don’t know a single person that respects him recently.
Just please retire, Russia, Wales, anywhere but Lichfield
How long before Mikey accuses nurses and teachers of watching porn at work?
John Allen, I wish we could ban you and all the other boring whinging loonie lefties from Lichfield instead.
I was a Tory and hope to see the back of our mp for good next time we vote
Super Fab, the “loonie lefties” are just standing up to the “racist righties”. I know which side I’d rather be on.
There we have it, we’ve descended into childish name calling. Exactly what I’d expect from fans of his.
Our MP shows cruelty and incompetence constantly. It takes one to know one, as they say. His conduct is shameful, his posturing is ridiculous and embarrassing and he is a blight upon our city.
Most things Tory in Lichfield are starting to turn toxic. With Mr Fabricant at the top of the pile bringing disgrace upon us and clerks at the bottom who can’t place a “bin bag” order without fighting it through the courts. In between we have the Councillors who think our money is theirs. God help us! At least I can bask in my own smug satisfaction knowing I am now an ex Tory Lichfield voter.
What did the ‘loonie lefties ever do for us?
Apart from the NHS, a national minimum wage and lower taxes.
A respectful nod to ‘Life of Brian.’
ProfP- I don’t think it’s about achievement & policy so much as it’s about fear of ‘things’ so…fear of immigration, fear of losing place in society, so it’s why they go on about woke.
I never get a definition of what woke is when I ask but work on the premise (based on their opinions) it means anti racist and happy for social change.
Kitty – The Oxford Dictionary gives us “Alert to injustice and discrimination in society, especially racism.”
We should ask those who are agin it if they are happy to be discriminated against.
Exactly, ProfP, I’ve said it before but the tories greatest achievement is convincing people to vote for them when they’re diametrically opposed to helping them.
Thanks for the definition, I have never heard what woke means from those who bang on about it!
@Super Fab…. Do you not see the irony that you are yourself whinging and attempting to suppress free speech in the process.
A Lichfield full of Fabricants and the like? That would be right up his street!
