Molly, 86, from Hampshire sums up a nation’s dilemma

‘I’m not voting for the red man who doesn’t like the Jews… or the unbearable buffoon!’ Hilarious moment Molly, 86, from Hampshire sums her election frustrations

  • Molly Bennet, 86, said she won’t vote for ‘red man’ who ‘doesn’t like the Jews’
  • Pensioner added she usually votes Conservative but she ‘can’t bear the buffoon’
  • Ms Bennet told Sky she is ‘so terribly undecided’ for who to vote for next month

A pensioner insisted she won’t vote for either the ‘red man’ who ‘doesn’t like the Jewish people’ or the Conservative ‘buffoon’ as she summed up a nation’s dilemma when asked about the upcoming general election. 

Molly Bennet, 86, made the candid comments when asked who she would be voting for in the December 12 election by a Sky News reporter. 

But rather than give the name of her favoured candidate, the pensioner, from Hampshire, responded: ‘Well I know who I’m not voting for’.

She was then asked who she was referring to, and she said: ‘The red man [Jeremy Corbyn]. He doesn’t like the Jewish people and I don’t agree with that’.

Ms Bennet went on to reveal she usually votes for the Conservative Party, which is led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, but said she won’t be giving him her support next month.

Mr Johnson will face Labour leader Mr Corbyn in the election, alongside Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, the Liberal Democrat’s Jo Swinson and Scottish National Party leader, Nicola Sturgeon. 

‘I normally vote Conservative but I can’t bear the buffoon. I call him a buffoon, and anybody who doesn’t know he needs longer shirts is an idiot,’ she said.

‘Anybody who gets stuck up a lamp post is an idiot too’, she added, potentially referring to the time Mr Johnson got stuck on a zip wire during an Olympic event in 2012.

But rather than give the name of her favoured candidate, the pensioner, from Hampshire, responded: 'Well I know who I'm not voting for'

The pensioner went on to reveal she voted for former Prime Minister Theresa May in the general election held in 2017.

‘I thought they maltreated her’, she said. ‘I thought it was disgraceful, the behaviour they treated her to. And I should think her husband cheers every time the buffoon puts his foot in it’.

When asked again who she will support at the election next month, Ms Bennet said she ‘can’t think of anybody else that I would vote for’. 

‘Do you know, I’m so terribly undecided’, she said. ‘I don’t know if I’ll waste a vote. I can’t think of anybody else that I would vote for.’

Her comments come after Mr Corbyn tore into the Chief Rabbi in an interview with Andrew Neil on Tuesday, saying he was ‘wrong’ to accuse Labour of failing to tackle anti-Semitism. 

In the bruising prime time pre-election interview, the politician said he wanted to have ‘a discussion’ with Ephraim Mirvis after he accused the left-winger of allowing the ‘poison’ of anti-Semitism to take root in Labour.

The Labour leader was challenged over Mr Mirvis’s allegation that the party’s claims it is doing everything to tackle anti-Jewish racism was a ‘mendacious fiction’. 

‘No, he’s not right. Because he would have to produce the evidence to say that’s mendacious,’ Mr Corbyn replied.

He insisted he has ‘developed a much stronger process’ and had sanctioned and removed members who have been anti-Semitic.

But he floundered when Mr Neil detailed specific cases of anti-Semitism by Labour members who faced little or no sanction.
