Lutfur Rahman may be looking for work now; I suggest he become the poster child for what is wrong with contemporary Britain. Today Islamic supremacists like Rahman — and, at the other end of the spectrum, the participants in Muslim rape gangs — are able to get away with almost everything, because those who should be stopping them are desperately afraid of charges of “racism” and “Islamophobia.” They’re more afraid of those charges than they are of the destruction and damage that these Islamic supremacists leave in their wake. It is good that Lutfur Rahman has been barred from standing for office again, but unless there is a massive change in the British political culture, and this cowardice and appeasement set aside, there will be many more Lutfur Rahmans.
“Lutfur Rahman played the Islamophobia card to silence his critics. And too many on the left fell for it,” by James Bloodworth, Independent, April 23, 2015:
Lutfur Rahman was “more Labour than many in Labour”. He was a “democratic success story” whose opponents were engaged in an “Islamophobic campaign of lies”.
I challenge you to come up with a selection of sillier statements about the soon-to-be-former-Mayor of Tower Hamlets.
An election court today found that Rahman had “driven a coach and horses” through local authority law and “engaged in corrupt and illegal practices” to win elections. According to the Court, which ruled on a case brought against the Mayor for ballot-rigging, intimidation and racism in the electoral campaign of 2014, rather than being a “democratic success story”, Rahman trashed the electoral process in a “ruthless and dishonest manner”. To make matters worse the Mayor silenced critics using spurious accusations of Islamophobia and racism.
Those of us who have lived in Lutfur Rahman’s Tower Hamlets in recent years had a fair idea that something wasn’t right. An atmosphere of menace and intimidation prevailed at council meetings and a cult of personality was thrown up around Rahman himself, with posters carrying the Mayor’s face (and little else) increasingly ubiquitous in the borough. Extremist preachers were invited to speak in council chambers and council grants were directed away from secular organisations in favour of groups which mainly served the Bangladeshi and Muslim communities.
As for fighting elections, political arguments were replaced with well-orchestrated smear campaigns; the accusation of racism was reduced from a grave and serious charge to a tactic used to get Rahman elected. Labour mayoral candidate John Biggs was publicly branded a racist for having the temerity to accuse Rahman of the things he has today been found guilty of. Meanwhile, Rahman’s Labour rival Helal Abbas was falsely branded a “wife beater” in a mysterious newspaper which appeared on the doorsteps of every property in Tower Hamlets in 2010.
The story of Lutfur Rahman might be a parable for our times. Despite standing for election on a divisive communalist ticket and being backed by the far-right Islamist Forum of Europe (IFE), support on the far-left for Britain’s first Muslim Mayor was remarkably strong. Some even claimed that Lutfur Rahman was a socialist, despite his support base being made up of George Galloway’s Respect party, wealthy local restaurateurs and the IFE. Hardly the Socialist International, is it?
What many residents of Tower Hamlets strongly suspected was today confirmed in the election court. The Court ruled that the mayoral election of 2014 was void and that Rahman was banned from standing for office again.
Yet one can already hear the predictable accusations of an establishment “stitch up” coming from defenders of Rahman on the left. Many purveyors of ostensibly left-wing politics appear willing to ignore the toxicity engulfing Rahman simply because he professes to be a devout Muslim….
marc says
Wasn’t Lutfur Rahman the same rodent that threatened riots on the streets if Theresa May didn’t ban you from the UK?
mortimer says
Lutfur Rahman should be banned from the UK.
Lia Wissing says
A devout muslim? And people still wondered whether he was actually guilty? How many muslims must be proved guilty in courts of law before we get the connection between ‘devout’ and ‘terrorist’?
Mirren10 says
No, marc, that would be *another* muslim in high office, Lord Ahmad.
As my husband says, they both have faces you’ld love to kick.
By the way, what happened to the two articles by Zakaria Fellah ?
Semeru says
Mirren10. To set the record straight,
Lord Ahmed threaten to bring 10,000 moslems onto the streets if Geert Wilders (not R Spencer) was not banned.
marc says
Yes, both right, “Lutfur Rahman’s aide says there will be street violence unless people stop questioning the Tower Hamlets result”

Linda Rivera says
Our World War Two heroes fought and died to prevent our conquest by German Nazis. Traitors Tony Blair, Jack Straw, Brown and Cameron VOLUNTARILY Surrendered our cherished nation to Islamo Nazis and wickedly heavily colonised Britain with Muslim invaders who regard themselves as conquerors of Britain and if our people don’t obey Muslim commands, threaten to bring out 10,000 violent Muslims on the streets and make us obey Muslims.
This is Muslim conquest and must be strongly and actively resisted by deporting Muslims and preventing rivers of blood flowing in our streets. Stopping Britain from becoming a second Pakistan, a second Iraq, a second Syria, because that is what is planned for our people.

Ahmed was also jailed for murdering a poor Slovakian bloke, whilst he was texting on his phone. He blamed his jail sentence on a ‘Jewish conspiracy’.
Babs says
I wouldn’t have put it past him.
Let’s face it, so far as Rahman is concerned the only crime he committed was being caught and he is so arrogant and divorced from reality that he thought he’d get away with it.
It should come as no surprise that among his staunch supporters (who are partners in his collective delusion that he is innocent of any wrongdoing) are George Galloway and Ken Livingstone who hugged Qaradawi in public.
Also trying to flog the dead horse of Rahman’s “honesty” is The Guardian, which is as one might expect, as deluded as all the others.

Outstanding reporting by Robert.
Concerning Rahman: “a cult of personality was thrown up…”. Gee, I wonder where they learned that?
“John Biggs was publicly branded a racist for having the temerity to accuse Rahman of the things he has today been found guilty of.” Well, gee, sounds a bit like that Tommy Robinson, “racist” chap, who had the temerity to point out the Rotherham rape epidemic before its unveiling.
Continue forward, all. We are not intimidated by Islamic thuggery and won’t have it in our lives, or those of our children.
Cheerio.

British cultural Marxist are now the victims of the Muslim supremacists they thought were their friends.
When will the British Left lose their blinkers? If they really want UK to be Berzerkistan, why don’t they move there themselves?

“why don’t they move there themselves?”
They don’t have the courage of their convictions– much of what they say is disingenuous sanctimony. It’s exhausting for a normal person to wade through, but it becomes transparent with time.
roger woodhouse says
The British ‘left’ will remain in its mode of ‘appeasement’ for the forseeable future. That is untill a certain point of critical mass has been reached and only then when violence has eruppted on the streets of Britain. The establishment live in state of denial simply because there is non amongst them who dare to speak the truth. The British people who for so long have been lied to are now incapable of asessing just what is the truth and what is ‘spin’ or leftwing propaganda.
The ‘truth. is unpalatable for them accept so they contuinue in this state of stupor. Only aa massive wake up call and substantial vote for UKIP can we ever begin to sort this now blighted country out
Ephesian says
Roger,spot on! I will also be voting UKIP,and only the other day recieved a 12 page booklet and covering letter from “Hope not Hate”(look it up!) telling me to not vote for UKIP! Have you had one? Nobody should be interfering with another’s vote or try to persuade someone to vote any particular way….Britain’s voting system is also corrupt,what with Lufthur Rahman and the election skullduggery……..oh,and take a ballpoint black pen when you go to vote,as they seem to be using pencils nowadays,don’t trust any one of them.
michaelwarden says
Muslim rape gangs were first investigated and then proven by a woman named Marlene Guest – a member of the British National Party. Nick Griffin, the then Chairman, put the evidence to those in authority. He was arrested and charged with Race Hate. Tried and aquitted, he and the BNP continued to publicise the situation for years until the media were forced to come clean and print sanitised versions. All the rapists were “Asian”, of course – not muslim. Several people then tried to claim it was they who discovered the problem. Several people have resigned but no-one charged with anything. Council, Social Workers, Police and probably newspapers knew all about the situation. Girls who went to the police were told to go away and not make trouble. One father who was trying to get his 12 year old daughter out of a house with several muslim men was arrested by police for causing a disturbance. The girl was left with the men. Chief Executive Rotherham Town Council is, I believe, now Chief Executive Liverpool City Council on £195,000 per year.
Georg says
Thank you for the information and clarifying. We need more Marlene Guests in the world. That Nick Griffin was arrested for “Race Hate” shows the enormity of what we’re up against. I’ve wondered whether the UK needs human rights observers.

Reading that leftists backed and defended this moslem monster is cognitive dissonance to the level of insanity. It’s like reading about a group of Jews rallying behind the Nazis in 1933 Germany.
Baucent says
Rahman ran the council like the Bangladeshi mafia crime boss he is. He doesn’t have an ounce of integrity in his body.
Ephesian says
Our government/councils are appeasers of such people.Look at the Rotherham(and without doubt it’s happening in other towns and cities)and how a blind eye was turned out of fear of “offending” well,you know,er….certain people of a er…certain culture….we are not even allowed to say it..MUSLIM. In council open meetings the councillors act like tin pot dictators,sweeping aside with a wave of their hand the concerns of the people.There is a picture of Lufthur Rahman sat alongside his “mates”Ken Livingstone and George Galloway…speaks volumes,doesn’t it?
somehistory says
And the reason for the bullying and corruption: “because he professes to be a devout Muslim…”

FW: DO YOU SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING, YET ?
Alpha14
Please spread to everyone for their right to know.
Ignore this at your peril – particularly if you value your children’s future.
You should also read the attached schedule of progression.
How much longer will YOU have a country ?
English Law prohibits denizens (foreign nationals) from holding public office. Yet British politicians ignore this law and encourage foreign nationals to public office. THAT is treason against the indigenous British. And for whom will those foreign nationals have sympathy once in office ?
British Parliament refuses to limit immigration to our country. Islamic immigrants refuse to integrate, but create their own exclusive neighbourhoods.
Islam is a political movement masquerading as a religion which benefits from the freedom to worship in western free society – thus to occupy.
To Islam, wherever you can hear the call to prayer is considered Islamic territory. So why do you suppose they install such large loudspeakers on their minarets ? Many Muslims claim ownership of Britain already and work tirelessly to that end.
The Labour Party’s Islamic MP Shahid Malik wants a Muslim Prime Minister and Parliament in Westminster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86CkqV2UpA8
To Islam, a mosque represents a seat of government, a command centre, a court, a military training centre and an arms depot. “A mosque is our barracks, the domes our helmets, minarets our bayonets and the faithful are our soldiers” (Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan). 80% of mosques in the US teach and preach jihad.
Mosque leaders today raise religious decrees, enforce Islamic doctrine, monitor conduct, punish transgressors and command actions including requirements to conduct Jihad. A mosque, therefore, is much more than merely a place of worship. “I don’t affiliate with things like democracy and freedom. My set of values and principles arise from Islam.” Anjem Choudary, UK Extremist Preacher.
As mosques are built in Britain, the spread of Islam accelerates. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/11427370/Islamic-radicals-at-the-heart-of-Whitehall.html about Newham People’s Alliance created to support plans for Britain’s biggest mosque in the east London borough of Newham). Do remember that British objection to mosque planning applications is regarded as racist and religious hatred. Thus few attempt it. Yet multitudes of foreign nationals flock to support applications so that permission is granted.
Sharia Law has and is being set up in parts of our major cities with the acquiescence of British politicians, even though only English Law is permitted here.
The British birth rate is in decline (lower than sustainable level). Muslim birth rates often with multiple wives, are culturally far higher (accustomed to foreign health conditions). In few years, now, they will out number the British in our own land. So who and what will the new majority vote for ?
At election, poor white electoral turn-out shows apathy, disenchantment, distrust in the treacherous LibLabCon system and deteriorating claim to our country.
High Muslim voter turn-outs, however, demonstrate conviction in their claim to Britain and ever increasing growth in Muslim ownership.
British Parliament refuses to limit Islamic immigration and occupancy of our country.
For how much longer will Britain be white, ruled by white politicians or even English law ?
Do you want your children to live in their own country with their own culture and under their own laws, or under alien culture, law and alien domination ?
For how much longer will YOU have a country ?
*******************************
Muslim Manifesto For Britain
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Parliament_of_Great_Britain
The ideas in the The Muslim Manifesto: A Strategy for Survival launched the Muslim Parliament. Authored primarily by Kalim Siddiqui, the Manifesto declared :-
“It is a matter of deep regret that the Government, all political parties and the mass media in Britain are now engaged in a relentless campaign to reduce Muslim citizens of this country to the status of a disparaged and oppressed minority. We have no alternative but to resist this insidious campaign.”
The Muslim Manifesto made it clear that “Political and cultural subservience goes against their grain” because “at its inception, Islam created a political platform from which Muslims were to launch themselves on a global role as founders of great states, empires and a world civilization and culture.”
The Muslim Manifesto proposes setting up a “Council of Muslim Women in Britain”, stating that “It is for Muslim women themselves to develop an Islamic lifestyle in the context of the needs of the Muslim community in Britain. It is also for Muslim women to play a major part in the public life of the Muslim community in Britain. The fact is, that a Muslim woman cannot be a western woman. Muslim women have a higher and nobler place in society than the so-called ‘emancipated’ women in the west”.
The Manifesto establishes a six-point “Relationship with the British authorities” :-
Islam allows Muslims to accept protection of life, property and liberty from non-Muslim rulers and their political systems. Muslims placed in this situation may also pay taxes and other dues to a non-Muslim State.
Muslims living under the protection of a non-Muslim State must obey the laws of that State so long as such obedience does not conflict with their commitment to Islam and the Ummah. Other minorities in Britain, notably Jews and Roman Catholics, do the same.
There are laws on the British Statute Book that are in direct conflict with the laws of Allah. These relate to such matters as usury, abortion, homosexuality, gambling, sale and consumption of alcohol and the abolition of capital punishment.
Muslims will co-operate with the appropriate authorities for the maintenance of law and order and the promotion of peaceful and wholesome conditions for all our fellow citizens.
Muslims will insist and continue to insist for as long as it may be necessary, that the British State provide them, their religion and culture protection from gratuitous insult, obscenity and abuse.
Muslims make it clear to the State and to all sections of British society that they do not expect to be and will not tolerate being insulted and abused on grounds of their religion, culture and traditions.
There are 11 Muslim Members of Parliament, 17 Peers, 4 Mayors and 14 others already in British in politics.
Where do you suppose their allegiance really lies ?

Something I meant to add regarding the last name on the list above. Doesn’t it seem totally inappropriate for a Muslim to be named ‘Tulip’?
Ephesian says
Jayell…there is no such law as treason now,not since Blair scrapped it just before leaving to become Special Envoy to the Middle East(that’d be Birmingham then….)
jayell says
Thanks, Ephesian, I’m aware of that. It seems pretty obvious that Bliar scrapped the teason laws as a pre-emptive measure to ensure he wasn’t hauled up for it when the ugly truth came out. This posting actually comes from Alpha 14, which I copied for this site. I think it shows the extent of muslim infiltration pretty clearly and the probable extent of damage to date. Questions are also being asked about the lack of action by the police, who look like they’ve been in cahoots with Rahman & Co. rather like the situation in Rotherham and elsewhere. The muslims seem to have infected the establishment with a cancer of corruption which now seems to be quite widespread and spreading like an aggressive tumour. The trouble is that our islamic chums don’t seem to respond to the normal treatment, so if we’re going to save the situation it’s going to have to come down to some kind of drastic surgery – or else!
Ephesian says
Jayell….that list showing just how infiltrated our government is,is just staggering to me….I knew it was bad,but when you actually see it in print.Mind you,we have our Dave who thinks there are too many white faces in government,who longs for the day when there is a muslim PM,and thinks it’s the English who need to adapt to the muslim way of life,not the other way around.Roll on May 7th,but expect dirty tactics,character defamation and vote rigging.You’re right,drastic surgery is needed and I think it’s not too far off.

This is Islam. It’s part & parcel – the Koran teaches that it’s permissable to lie & cheat in order to gain power & influence – and overthrow disbelievers. As per the greatest success of our time, Obama.
And yet it seems only the Israelis have their eyes open. They can see that all the promises of Peace’ from Abbas are a sham & a fairy tale.
Islam is rotten to the core; it is not a religion. It is a made up excuse for all the depraved monsters of the world to have licence to commit paedophilia, carry out female genital mutilation, carry out ‘honour’ killings, murder other Muslims, destroy centuries-old historical sites and antiquities, amass fortunes on the back of other Muslins (as per the Hamas leader, with a personal fortune of $2.6 billion), perpetuate corruption………and by any means possible, blame any misfortunes on Israel and/or Jews.

“Today Islamic supremacists like Rahman — and, at the other end of the spectrum, the participants in Muslim rape gangs — are able to get away with almost everything, because those who should be stopping them are desperately afraid of charges of “racism” and “Islamophobia.””
Not quite right – they WERE able to get away with almost everything. This case and the grooming gang trials show that Britain is slowly and painfully waking up. Even the best of peoples’ fondest supporters, the left, are now starting to distance themselves. This article is a case in point. Notice how the “more Guardian than the Guardian” Independent tries to make out that it has nothing to do with the real left:
“Lutfur Rahman was “more Labour than many in Labour”. He was a “democratic success story” whose opponents were engaged in an “Islamophobic campaign of lies”.
I challenge you to come up with a selection of sillier statements about the soon-to-be-former-Mayor of Tower Hamlets.”
No, there’s nothing silly about those statements. Rahman was Labour’s darling for a long time before the smell started to become overpowering.
It was the right-leaning Telegraph’s Andrew Gilligan who doggedly exposed Rahman while the Guardian and Independent maintained a respectful silence.
Time for a new slogan – It’s nothing to do with socialism”.
michaelwarden says
Andrew Gilligan is one of the very few honest journalists in the UK.
Judi says
I wonder how much money Rahman and his cohorts have managed to cream off and filter into their private (off shore) bank accounts. The government needs to look into this asap.

They should bring back the death penalty for this d-bag.

R Cole says
It is the story of our times!!
What is more Cameron appears to be willing to jump on the same bandwagon – thinking it is going to take him somewhere.
But that is the Islamist route. A road that leads to Mecca – and UK’s eventual subjugation – a modern-day Saudi satellite.
Labeling ordinary people extremists [comparing them to Boko Haram] – for challenging an aggressive Islam – is to make the case for sharia law – along with the inequalities built into such legal systems – where only some people have rights – while others only enjoy significantly diminished rights – no doubt that’s for those everyday folks Cameron decides in his infinite wisdom are the ‘extremists’.
The fact is there is a lot of Arab money flowing into the UK – possibly Cameron would opt to take liberties than see that stream dry up.
But wait ~ the few barrels of oil discovered in Surrey [South London] might help calm his nerves a bit!
Because we are going to tell this conquering lot ~ to back off!
::
This account of Tower Hamlet events in the Independent is what the blogs are being called ‘racists’ for. Featuring highly ~ the utra-Leftist Islamist alliance!! Odd bedfellows ~ must share a common drug – at least one of which being hatred of the Jews.
The author is right in more ways than one – Mayor Rahman was more Labour than Labour – everyone who opposed them in the last election – were labeled as ‘racists’ – even David Cameron was not speared. The mayor simply took a page out of Labour’s book – but this time he used it against them.
Look at where this has already gone – half a million underage girls groomed and raped by Muslim men – and those who complain are viewed as ‘racist/Islamophobes’ – the bigger threat to British society.
John says
What’s wrong with being a racist or an Islamophobe? Should one not defend one’s own race and fear those who want to kill you in the name of Islam? Sounds like a survival instinct, the most basic instinct of all.

A second thought about the Islam-o-phobia rant/declaim….in a fact mixed ethnic Muslim’s can use it against their own:
Fearing Muslim Islamic Shiites vs the Islamic Sunnites vs the Islamic Shiites sects!
What a convoluted way of existence; for they certainly live in a up-side-down-world.
Always in a state of perpetual duress…..compulsion by threat or force; coercion; constraint, etc.
A merry-go-round life style without a chance of jumping off it; for the sake of normalcy. They may want to do it, but maybe they don’t know how!

From today’s UK Muslim News
“A future Labour Government is committed to outlaw the scourge of Islamophobia by changing the law and making it an aggravated crime, according to the Party’s Leader Ed Miliband.”
In other words, anyone who exposes muslim criminality will be charged with committing a non existent
offence, since there is no such thing as islamohobia.

I think this may be designed to protect the Muslim rape gangs so they can continue to rape without fear of prosecution- instead, their victims and people who complain will be the ones to face arrest
Richie says
Muslims being dishonest and then crying victim? isnt that tactic part of their belief system?
Islam is disgusting
Richie says
Isn’t it high time people start charging Muslims with Jewishphobia, given the rabid levels of Jew bashing and Jew hatred carried out by muslims? How about Christianphobia, given Isis’s campaign of genocide against Christians in the Middle East?
I have seen Muslims openly insult Jews, yet nobody will call them out on their bigotry. But to complain about Muslims voicing hatred of Jews and Christians is somehow painted as an attack on Muslims. Weird!
Of course leftists often frame the narrative, and given they share the Muslim hatred of Christianity and the state of Israel, I think the left will always give these Muslim scumbags cover and protection
abad says
I have a better idea. How about deporting Rahman?
BW022 says
Why isn’t this guy in jail?
When did ballot stuffing, fraud, intimidation, etc. cease to be crimes in Britain?
Mark says
LBC Radio, saturday, marxist ‘red ken’ livingstone co hosted program – during which he lied to disguise Rahman’s criminal nature.
When marxist livingstone was mayor of london he also channelled money to his ‘friends’.
Mark says
Milliband – Treason for votes.
Milliband says he will criminalise islamophobia. (which is basically criticising islam).
Effectively therefore milliband will enact an aspect of islamic sharia law on all non muslims in the uk

The fact that young British girls can be raped and the victims be accused of islamophobia for reporting this crime shows that there is very little the muslims can’t do in Britain so Rahman’s actions are no surprise at this point.
If you watch any of the British news shows online the muslim bias that is shown is disgusting. The British seem to be hypnotized into not offending islam whatever the cost. Even the Prime Minister goes out of his way to remind his people that in spite of what they see and hear they are required to ignore facts and concentrate on the idea that their muslims are a necessary part of the country and that they contribute to it’s success.
Rowan Williams former head of the Church of England says that islam is reviving British values.
Submitted for your approval my list of muslim contributions to Britain.
1. Female Genital Mutilation
2. Sharia Courts
3. Muslim gangs forcing British girls into prostitution.
4. muslims calling for death to homosexuals.
5. honor killings
6. anti semitism
7. Anjem Choudary
8 . halal meat
9. Sharia controlled neighborhoods
This of course is only a small number of ways that muslims have contributed to the fabric of British society.Perhaps Rowan Williams and David Cameron could add to my list.
Britain is in big trouble and needs to wake up soon before it is too late.
John says
Now that it has been established that Ratfur/Ratman is a thief, would fellow Muslim wish to apply sharia law in his case? In spite of the evidence this man continues to lie about his dodgy dealings.
