Bristol anti-gun woman misled Labour conference(UK)

Narraser Gordon claimed that eight of her family members had been killed in Bristol

An anti-gun and knife-crime campaigner misled a national conference when she said her family members had been murdered.

Narraser Gordon, 24, claimed at the Labour Party's conference in September that eight of her family members had been killed in Bristol.

After a standing ovation from politicians, local newspapers picked up on the Labour youth officer's speech.

BBC Inside Out has found most of the people she said were dead are alive.

Ms Gordon told the conference: "I'm here to talk about why the young people are dying before they can even see the age of 21.

"This is an issue causing a problem in all the cities in the UK, including... my own area of Bristol, with eight of my family members being murdered here." 'Do regret this'

The BBC was making a documentary about the work of Ms Gordon, who is regularly invited into schools to help young people with anti-violence projects.

She gave the names of the people she claimed had been murdered, but a search of the register of deaths found the majority of the people she listed were not there.

Ms Gordon was also found to be conversing on Facebook with some of the people she said had been killed.

When questioned by the BBC, Ms Gordon admitted that the majority of the people on the list had not been murdered.

Violence is neutral, like gravity. It can be used for good or evil.

The last line tells the story: the liar wants government money to pay for her “work.”

It’s not her fault. No one told her that the human voice and the human image can be recorded. What a lying dope.

“Victim-hood” is the prostituting of some one’s misfortune (normally someone else) ... And the Media are their Pimps.

Her actions will be excused by ‘progressives’ using the same ‘logic’ they applied for that climate-change-fraud guy last week:

“It’s okay to lie as long as your working for ‘good’...”

And a further excuse might be that, while not currently dead, all of those people will eventually be dead so she's just precociously honest.

If her story was 100% true, the problem still wouldn’t be gun violence. It would be immigrant violence.

To “Narasser” Gordon, the term is, I believe, ^taqiyya^.
