Put Up Or Shut Up

This is it, then. It's put or shut up time for Andrew Gilligan. A chance to explain in detail the ethnic and religious tests to be applied for membership of a political party, and the maximum number of members of any one family to be permitted to join without constituting a "sham".

You really do not have to be any fan of Lutfur Rahman to be more than a little uneasy as the presupposition, as if it were self-evident, that only white, upper-middle-class, Oxbridge secularists are morally eligible to participate in the political process. Still, that proposition demands to be tested at the ballot box. Where better than Tower Hamlets?

Meanwhile, still not a word about the Islamist, other communalist, and sectarian Leftist takeover of the principal party of government. Of course not. What will I be wanting next? Some mention of how vastly more people voted for David Cameron for Conservative Party Leader than that party's life over the preceding decade suggested could possibly have been entitled to do so? But those people, if they existed at all, were by definition white, upper-middle-class (if merely that), Oxbridge secularists. So, that's all right, then.
