And anyone who talks about "Islamic terrorism" in connection with his candidacy will simply be locked up. From the BBC, with thanks to Richard:
Actors Corin and Vanessa Redgrave want a British detainee at Guantanamo Bay to stand for a Parliamentary seat.Moazzam Begg, 36, from Birmingham, was arrested in Pakistan and has been held as a terror suspect at the US military base in Cuba since January 2002.
The Redgraves want Mr Begg to stand for their Peace and Progress Party.
His father Azmat said the matter was "under consideration", adding: "I don't know if he is mentally prepared or it's reasonable for him to stand."...
The foreign secretary said Mr Begg will be handed over to the police in the UK once he arrives here.
Somebody tell me this is a joke!!!
I've seen Vanessa Redgrave on C4 news before, and boy-oh-boy is she an ignorant moron of a left-wing tramp. She was on the night of the Beslan murders, can you believe, defending the child-killers, because chechnya has "suffered injustices" at the hands of the Russian government.
Okay then Vanessa. I'll remember that the next time our government piss me off, I'll go and slaughter a school full of kids....as I'm sure that will make it all better.
And now, not veering even slightly, from her path of left-wing insanity, she comes into our midst yet again, this time with the intentions of making a man caught fighting jihad for the taliban, a MP.
This bitch is so head-fucked it's unreal.
Redgrave is a long-time, unrepentant Trotskyite and self-loathing Jew. As such, she celebrates anyone that threatens democracy, capitalism, or Israel. Like Chomsky however, her contempt for Western civilisation never gets in the way of her enjoying all of the material trappings of a celeb.
Not at all surprising. Anyone remember Vanessa's Best Actress Oscar for 'Julia', a film in which she was (irony alert) a member of the underground fighting against the Nazis?
"In 1978, Vanessa Redgrave used her time on the pulpit to insult the State of Israel and proclaim her solidarity with the Palestinians. Upon accepting her best actress award for "Julia," Redgrave thanked voters for not "being intimidated by a small group of Zionist hoodlums (referring to Academy members who opposed her nomination)."
She paid bail for Chechen envoy Akhmed Zakaev, made a film called 'The Palestinian' in which she praised suicide bombers - her list is a long one. This shouldn't even be news.
Maybe Vanessa Redgrave can attempt to gain the release of Charles Manson from a California state prison, then Moazzam Begg can stand for peace while Charles Manson will stand for progress.
I have just sent a very nice e mail to this so called party via their url
http://www.peaceandprogress.org
I wonder if they will respond, or is their concern only for those who follow the religion of the beast ?
Hello,
I have just visited your web site and am very interested in joining.
I found the links to other sites very interesting, however do you think you could possibly add these as well, as these people also need their human rights respected, and they also need peace and progress:

Can you also please try to campaign for the rights of ex moslems who face death according to sharia islamic law.
Many thanks

Vanessa and Corin are two of the most loathsome creatures currently stealing oxygen.
Vanessa Redgrave... ...Jewish? News to me. There was quite an outcry from the Jewish community many years ago when she was cast in the role of a musician inmate of a concentration camp, in the movie "Playing for Time" because of her support for the PLO. No mention was made of her being Jewish.
But her daft politics aren't.
Calm down guys! This is really good news. A candidate of this distinction(??)in a government held parliamentary constituency, threatening to soak up local muslim votes in the coming election that would otherwise have gone in the nu-labor direction, will send the government into a tailspin.
Doing nothing will not be enough! At the very least, he will be banged up for the duration of the election campaign, on some pretext or other; at worst, he'd better start counting up the virgins!
A I:
Great comment you left on the 'Peace & Progress Party' comments section. Just the right measure of wit and sarcasm.
Will they get it?
These folks remind me of some left-wing liberals of the 1930's who travelled to the Soviet Union to ooh and aah at the new utopian workers paradise being created. They willfully shut out the rports of Stalin's crimes, because, just as today's pc crowd, they need to believe.
Sad, but true. The spirit of Munich is alive and well.
Too much head cheese and blood pudding for this twit, she's lost her mind!
Strange how many of the British upper classes have been traitors. Kim Philby and his ghastly colleagues come to mind.
These two are worse than Jane Fonda, at least she saw the light eventually (or pretended to).
Michael Redgrave, on the other hand, was sensible.
Two questions:
a)Why haven't all of the "detainees" at "Gitmo" been executed by now?
It would have saved us such follies as this Red Grave (perfect name!) MP lunacy. Or having to fight those 'harmless' jihadis already released who have shown up back in the Afghanistan region battling the West's soldiers once AGAIN! (Rumsfeld, your single brain cell is calling you!)
Surely they have no useful intelligence value left at this point. (For the wishful thinkers in the Pentagon: they are are unlikely to ever be "turned", so spare us that b.s. line.)
And:
b) Why does the West want to commit suicide?
(I almost laughed to death myself when I first heard they were "releasing prisoners from Guatanamo"...since I didn't remember the Bataan Death March Japanese commandants, some of whom were who were captured in early 1945, ever being released while WW II was still ongoing...as a matter of fact, they lined them up in front of a firing squad, after Nagasaki, and ventilated their sadistic hearts ... -a good book to refresh your memory on this subject is "Ghost Soldiers- the epic account of World War II's greatest rescue mission".)
Extra credit for answering in Arabic. Inshallah.
apostate_islam - ingenious email. My bet is they will completely ignore you because you wont fit into their agenda of toppling capitalism, only reinforcing it. Both the Islamists and the Communists want to topple capitalism ... So they unite! How f**** up is that!
