Political Correctness

Rod Liddle stick his oar into the Lutfur Rahman affair and will no doubt ruffle a few feathers with his no holds barred approach to political commentary.

But he's spot on if you ask me because the reason the former Mayor of Tower Hamlets survived for so long is that completely false accusations of racism and 'Islamophobia' were used routinely to intimidate people asking entirely reasonable questions.  

To vote Rahman, put your cross here . . . here, here and here

One of the traditional spectacles of elections in the UK, which everyone thoroughly enjoys, is watching a south Asian man staggering to the post office carrying a huge sack of fraudulent postal votes. Will he get there or instead collapse under the weight? Will the authorities nab him as he hands over all those forged or coerced signatures?

The answer to these questions is invariably yes, he will make it, and no, the authorities won’t even raise an eyebrow. This will happen up and down the land as May 7 approaches — in certain places, certain towns and cities.

If the journalists do their digging around we may find out about it six or seven years hence, and then we can wring our hands about how on earth we could let this sort of thing happen, such an affront to democracy and so on.

We will feel the same sense of outrage we experienced when we learnt about the organised sexual exploitation of children by gangs of vile men — again, up and down the country. And now I come to think of it, that all happened in precisely the same certain places, certain towns and cities.

The Caliphate of Tower Hamlets is in mourning this weekend over the public disgrace of its former mayor, Lutfur Rahman. Poor old Lutfur has been kicked out of office by an election commissioner in the High Court, after he was found guilty of electoral fraud on a quite magnificent level.

Those who dared to disagree with Lutfur were branded racist or Islamophobic. Postal votes were forged. Opponents were intimidated at ballot stations. Lutfur bunged council grants — or “bribes” as we in the West call them — to secure support for his party, Tower Hamlets First.

Ruthless, corrupt, dishonest — these are just some of the descriptions of Mr Rahman’s five-year tenure as mayor. He also got the local imams to demand that their thousands of worshippers vote for him. In short, he had imported the vibrant electoral practices of the Third World to a little corner of Britain.

Along the way he was ably supported by the usual raft of useful idiots — Ken Livingstone, for example, and the Nuff Respec’ Bruv party, led by the charming George Galloway.

George is up for re-election as an MP on May 7 and will probably crawl back in on the Allah block vote. That’s in Bradford West, by the way, where Galloway has already been accused of putting out vile smears about his Labour opponent in that seat.

Lutfur Rahman was eventually brought to book because journalists and bloggers hammered away at him, not worrying too much about being called racist and Islamophobic.

For way too long the authorities did nothing whatsoever, terrified they might suffer similar, career-destroying slights. Much as the authorities were inclined to turn a blind eye to the numerous allegations about the sexual abuse of children by Pakistani gangs in Rotherham, Burnley, Oldham, Blackburn and too many other similarly, uh, diverse places to mention.

It is the same principle at work: don’t delve too deeply. It’s their culture, isn’t it? It’s racist to single them out for investigation. And so the abuse went on.

There have been reports of widespread postal voting fraud for years now. In Bradford, Oldham, Burnley, Kirklees, Slough, Walsall, Birmingham. In cases where action has been taken, the perpetrators are often from the same background.

Of course, the majority of Muslims do not want to stuff ballot boxes. But a disproportionate number of proven cases of electoral malpractice have been perpetrated by those of Bangladeshi and Pakistani origin. If we recognise this, we might be able to do something about it.

Meanwhile — how about this? Postal votes allowable only for those who cannot actually walk. If you can’t be arsed to go to the poll, or can’t read English, then don’t vote.
