A Tory MP was schooled by Martin Luther King Jr’s daughter on the meaning of her father’s words

An early contender for takedown of the week comes courtesy of Conservative MP Ben Bradley, who quoted Martin Luther King to help justify whatever the hell point he was trying to make here.

On Twitter, obviously.

And we’re glad he did, but only because it gave Martin Luther King’s daughter, Bernice, the opportunity to spell out for the hard of understanding exactly what her father was saying in this 3-point response.

1.

2.

3.

And our favourite things people were saying about it.

It’s important to take pleasure in the little things at the moment. The sound of birdsong, or the feeling of a gentle breeze. Or Ben Bradley getting admonished by Dr. King’s daughter for failing to understand her father’s message of peace and tolerance.

Ben Bradley rounding off his already stellar nomination for worst MP going by being completely schooled by the daughter of Martin Luther King JR after a ludicrous attempt to bend the meaning of his most famous words https://t.co/qfZdjG4iBG

It’s the same Ben Bradley who was last week bemoaning the fact that women have a minister for women but men don’t have a minister for men.

Ben Bradley is what would happen if someone tore out the letters pages from an old copy of Nuts magazine and paper mached it into an MP. https://t.co/FOxGf4LfcE
