Here's the evidence then

A dossier reveals more than 100 accusations of Islamophobia and racism from Conservative party members. Muslims are called "aliens" and "radicals" in the comments. Other remarks include:
  • "We are letting our children down by allowing this cult to take over our country."
  • "We don’t have a politician strong enough in the UK to lead us away from this infestation."
  • "They cause mayhem wherever they decide to invade."
https://twitter.com/MatesJacob/status/1129455216586350603 Conservative Party spokesperson told ITV News: "A substantial number of these people are not members. " Any other party members on this list have either already been suspended, expelled or are under investigation. "Our complaints process is rightly a confidential one but where we find evidence of members making abusive or discriminatory posts, we take swift action."
