George Galloway's use of SWP students in 2005 to deliver leaflets in Bengali, which they could not read, denouncing Oona King for being "in favour of abortion and homosexuality". Anyone who can pull off that trick deserves to win. And win he did.
His apparent endorsement of Ennahda needs to be seen in that light: he is up to something. Now, what is David Cameron up to? He, too, leads a party of Islamists and sectarian Leftists. But Islamists and sectarian Leftists in this country. The country of which he is Prime Minister.

"David Cameron ... leads a party of Islamists and sectarian Leftists."
ReplyDeleteWhat are you on?
Even leaving aside all the old New Labour Tankies, Trots and fellow-travellers who have moved seamlessly to the latest vehicle for The Project, the entire Socialist Workers’ Party faction of Respect in Tower Hamlets not long ago defected to the Conservative Party after having fallen out with the Islamists.
ReplyDeleteJohanna Kaschke, a longstanding Respect and Communist Party figure, left the Labour Party in 2007 after having failed to secure its nomination for Bethnal Green and Bow, and ended that year by joining the Conservative Party, in which she has rapidly become a well-connected activist. Around the country, local factions of various Asian and other origins routinely defect from Labour or other things to the Conservatives on frankly communal grounds, and are always welcomed with open arms.
David Cameron’s vehicles toured Ealing Southall blasting out in Asian languages that Hindu, Muslim and Sikh festivals would be made public holidays under his party. His “Quality of Life Commission” (don’t laugh, it’s real) then proposed giving the power to decide these things to “local community leaders”.
What else will those figures be given the power to decide in return for filling in every postal voting form in their households in the Bullingdon Boys’ interest, and making sure that all their mates did likewise? To the statelets thus created – little Caliphates, little Hindutvas, little Khalistans, and so on – people minded to live in such places will flock from the ends of the earth, entrenching the situation for ever.
With some fanfare, the Conservative Party recently welcomed John Marek, who was fiercely anti-monarchist and anti-hunting while Labour MP for Wrexham, and who went on to become the founder and only ever Leader of Forward Wales, a Welsh separatist, Welsh-speaking supremacist, economically Hard Left, unyieldingly Politically Correct, Tommy Sheridan-endorsed, RMT-funded party which was only dissolved in January 2010, and which continues to be named as Marek’s party, despite his having become an enthusiastic Conservative, on the list of former MPs who continue to hold House of Commons passes.
Will David Cameron also recruit, if he has not already done so, Marek’s fellow founder-members of Forward Wales: Ron Davies, one of the very few former Cabinet Ministers without a seat in either House, and a noted campaigner both against shooting and for the abolition of the monarchy; Graeme Beard, a former Plaid Cymru councillor in Caerphilly; and Klaus Armstrong-Braun, who in his time on Flintshire County Council was the only Green Party member ever elected at county level in Wales? Cameron has already signed up Mohammad Asghar, a Member of the Welsh Assembly who has moved seamlessly from Plaid Cymru.
Rehman Chishti, now a rising star as MP for Gillingham and Rainham, was Francis Maude’s Labour opponent in 2005 while working for Benazir Bhutto, whom he assisted from 1991 until her assassination in 2007 in her leadership of a party the motto of which includes both “Islam is our Faith” and “Socialism is our Economy”; he was still doing that job when he defected to the Conservative Party in 2006 and became an aide to Maude as its Chairman.
And so on, and on, and on. They obviously find the 1980s Radical Right’s company as congenial as they find each other’s. Blue is the new Red-Brown.
Obviously not a Harry's Place reader, you set out all of this on there last night.
ReplyDeleteAnd what has been the comeback? Oliver Kamm fantasy drivel such as only the dimmer sort of undergrad could ever fall for, served up by a "Durham Postgrad" whose basic errors prove that he has been anywhere near the place.
Nobody has disputed your facts either about the Islamist takeover of Libya, or about the Islamist-Leninist takeover of Tunisia, or about the Islamist-Leninist takeover of the Conservative party.
Yes, I read that and also noted that no-one denied the truth of what you were saying. I loved the way you asked them if they hated the Stop the War Coalition so much, why the welcomed a coalition between the Islamists and the Far Left in Tunisia? Again they had no answer.
ReplyDeleteFar from being the stuff of Kammite fantasy, Damian Thompson's stated reason for removing you from Telegraph Blogs was your pointing out of the existence of a large party within the parliamentary Tory party, treasonably related to the Israeli Far Right. You now have the Cabinet resignation to prove that one. When will you also have the resignation of the editor of Telegraph Blogs?
They are also lying about your last book being through a vanity publisher. Publishing with Lulu is free, and I bought your book on Amazon, which doesn't do vanity publishers. What will they say about the next one, known by everyone who is anyone to have a publisher they cannot possibly denigrate?
ReplyDeleteZionists and Islamists? Wow! With such broad appeal you'd think the Tories could manage more than, er, 36% of the vote.
ReplyDeleteBut there we go!
I am surprised that those two categories add up even to that many.
ReplyDeleteThere is a Member of the Knesset, Ibrahim Sarsur, who uses that position to campaign for Jerusalem to become the capital of the Caliphate.
