Kezo, you might find you change your mind about him if you watch his interview. I think it was with GBNews. He does not come across to me as one of those MPs who are disconnected with the public.
Yes, he is totally connected:
Anderson was at the centre of controversy during the election campaign after saying that “nuisance” council tenants should be forced to live in tents and pick vegetables.
Anderson was also investigated by his party over claims of antisemitism during the campaign. The investigation followed allegations that he’d been a member of a Facebook group in which conspiracy theories about George Soros – who is Jewish – were promoted.
He was on the receiving end of further criticism in 2020, after co-signing a letter with a number of other Tory MPs and peers in the Daily Telegraph which alluded to “cultural Marxism”. The term refers to what is widely acknowledged as an antisemitic conspiracy theory.
Anderson made headlines again when he said he would not be watching the England football team in Euro 2020, and objected to players taking the knee before games as an anti-racist gesture. He also described Black Lives Matter as “a political movement whose core principles aim to undermine our very way of life”.
