Tory MP accuses anti-vaxxer of making an ‘implicit threat’ by warning him ‘our numbers are growing’ in email sent just days after murder of David Amess

A Tory MP has accused an anti-vaxxer of making an ‘implicit threat’ by warning him ‘our numbers are growing’ in an email just days after the murder of Sir David Amess.

Richard Graham said Kelly Martin, from Gloucestershire, should ‘get a grip’ and treat him with respect following her letter.

The conspiracy theorist and pandemic denier turned on the Gloucester MP over his voting record on Covid legislation.

It is understood to have been sent just days after Sir David was stabbed to death during a constituency surgery in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, on October 15.

Mr Graham blasted Ms Martin over the ‘implicit threat’ and told her to ‘get a grip’ and treat him with the respect she would expect from him.

He wrote: ‘You write only a few days after the murder of a colleague, and much national reflection about the tone of engagement between constituents and MPs on issues. Has this completely passed you by?

‘Do you really think that the implicit threat of ‘WE are not in the mood to comply and our numbers are growing locally’ is remotely appropriate?’

He added: ‘I urge you to get a grip and use the same courtesy you expect from your MP.’

Ms Martin, who bills herself on Twitter as an author, blogger and podcaster, revealed Mr Graham’s letter on her social media.

She posted: ‘I’m sharing this reply from my local MP, as evidence in case he dares says I’m threatening him.

‘Yes I said we will not comply, yes I said we are growing in numbers. His 1st reply to my question about passports is in white. What shall I reply to this one? Get a grip? Fairies?’

She added: ‘Local MP is finally replying to me personally. It’s only started happening since Government, assassinated the MP against big pharma and jab passports.

‘Anyone else noticing a sudden reply personally? He’s rattled. And I’m going to lay it in the line, ignorance is no excuse.’

She later replied to Mr Graham’s email, saying: ‘I will not listen to anything you say anymore. You are not FOR the people.

‘When the time comes you will be known as someone who took part in the biggest tyranny this country has ever seen.

‘People are dying, people are not getting seen to, a young 13-year-old nearly died yesterday because she could not get through to a doctor or 111 in Gloucester, she is now in hospital with appendicitis.’

Ms Martin’s Twitter feed is alight with Covid conspiracy theories and her bio contains the hashtag: ‘#novaccinepassportsanywhere.’

In one tweet, she shared a video of an interview with New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on vaccine passports.

She commented: ‘I call #fascist and I raise you #dictator. And let’s add #Apartheid into the mix and you have Jacinda Adhern, New Zealand has fallen…’

In another post, she wrote: ‘The pro-jabby/lockdown/mask brigade prefer to destroy country.’

Richard Graham MP’s letter to the antivaxxer in full:

Dear Kelly,

You write only a few days after the murder of a colleague, and much national reflection about the tone of engagement between constituents and MPs on issues.

Has this completely passed you by? Do you really think that the implicit threat of ‘WE are not in the mood to comply and our numbers are growing locally’ is remotely appropriate?

I urge you to get a grip and use the same courtesy you expect from your MP.

So let me put your question as it could and should have been:

Q: Please explain why did you not vote on the Emergency Bill on Tuesday evening.

To which my answer is:

On Tuesday evening the government had asked me, as the Prime Minister”s Trade Envoy to Malaysia, to represent Her Majesty’s Government at the Malaysia Day celebration in their High Commission and with their Transport Minister.

Malaysia is a key member of the Commonwealth, an ally in the Five Powers Defence Agreement (FDPA) and a close partner on many issues.

So I was ‘slipped’ by the Party Whips and not present for the votes.

Had I been there I would have supported the government.

There is absolutely nothing tyrannical about the continuation of the Emergency Act: very little of it is used at all at the moment – do name one freedom of yours which currently does not exist? – and all we have done is to keep it on the statute books in case the government needs to use it at short notice eg. if some variant takes off.

The vast majority of my constituents that I have spoken to agree that is very sensible.

If we need a Plan B we should not waste days resurrection legislation needed – we should just get on with what is necessary.

Some believe that we should introduce Plan B (ie tighter restrictions) now.

Some like you think that having any Emergency Law is wrong: and one or two have been saying that for the last 18 months.

Without it our hospitals would have been completely overwhelmed and patients would indeed have died in the corridors on trolleys.

It would have been a totally unacceptable situation and I make no apology for supporting the Emergency Act and the measures taken to protect my constituents during the pandemic.

‘People are dying, people are not getting seen to, a young 13 year old nearly died yesterday because she could not get through to a doctor or 111 in Gloucester, she is now in hospital with appendicitis’

This has nothing to do with the virus or the Emergency Act. If anyone is not getting the service they believe they are due from the NHS then they should complain to the NHS Pals service and they are welcome to copy me.

But you should be aware that there is an 0800-2000 service EVERY day of the week at the NHS Access Centre in the new Quayside Centre, between the river and Shire Hall, for minor operations.

For major ones like an appendix the primary responsibility of parents or friends, if all ambulances are busy, is to get a patient to A&E as soon as possible.

But as I say if a constituent has a specific problem he or she is welcome to copy me on the details.

Lastly I have represented our city for 11 years and the idea that I would ever take part in any tyranny is for the fairies, as my constituents well know.

You are quite entitled to disagree with me and criticise me, but please do so politely if you expect answers.

Thank you

Best regards,

Richard
