WE MUST BE LITERALLY MAD

Pakistani diplomat makes a cut-throat gesture in London

A protest in London on Friday drew attention to the ongoing potential for inter-ethnic and inter-religious strife on British soil.  However, in such an event the native British population would merely be bystanders as immigrant descendants fight each other.

Decades of mass immigration have created a broken society in which diversity is anything but the 'strength' that so-called progressives repeatedly broadcast.  Our towns and cities are no 'melting pots', they are a patchwork of very different neighbourhoods that have become dominated by one community or another.  As the native population continues to shrink and recede, we are replaced by people from around the world, who are importing their grievances and conflicts from back home.

As India and Pakistan square up to each other once more, the tension can be felt on British streets.  On Friday a demonstration took place outside the Pakistan High Commission in London.  Ethnic Indians gathered to express anger over the Islamist terror attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir, that killed 26 mostly Hindu tourists on Tuesday.  The Indian protesters were met by ethnic Pakistanis and a line of police separated the two groups as they taunted each other.  At one point a Pakistani Army colonel was seen on the balcony of the building pointing towards the Indian protesters and making a cut-throat gesture with his finger.

Four of the Indian protesters were reportedly arrested.

The importing of foreign conflicts to these shores was further exemplified by the decision of some Indian protesters to wave Israeli flags during their demonstration.  Palestinian flags could also be seen on the Pakistan side.

As the late, great John Enoch Powell famously said: "We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000 dependents, who are for the most part the material of the future growth of the immigrant-descended population.  It is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre."

50,000 migrants now sounds like a drop in the ocean as net migration to the UK has soared into the hundreds of thousands each year.  And let's not forget that it was Powell's own party that spent over a decade in power, repeatedly promising to cut migration while instead increasing it to record highs.

NAZ SHAH'S YORKSHIRE FIFTH

Naz Shah's visit to flood-hit Pakistan is a reminder of where Labour's priorities lie.  During a cost of lockdown crisis that will hit low-paid British workers hard in the pocket, a Labour frontbencher jets off halfway around the world to plead for help on behalf of Pakistani flood victims.  It's a terrible tragedy no doubt, but does it warrant a personal aid flight?  Voluntary or otherwise, does aid work not also register as a second job?  Presumably Keir Starmer would have been only too happy to sanction such a trip and if anyone had dared ask he would have exempted it by way of Labour's 'limited exceptions in cases of public service'.  We were not aware such public service extended around the world.

The floods in Pakistan occurred at the height of the monsoon season in south Asia, but just like the heatwaves in Europe that occurred at the height of summer - the culprit was immediately identified by the establishment as 'climate change'.  That record isn't going to change any time soon.  Whatever the weather event - mild winter, cold winter, dry spring, wet spring - the blame will always be the same.  It's a scam that Labour is only too happy to indulge.  Naz Shah's Labour colleagues were quick to perpetuate tales of a 'climate crisis' and 'climate catastrophe' in Pakistan, including Preet Kaur Gill, Yasmin Qureshi and Anas Sarwar.

During her Pakistan trip Naz made several videos on behalf of the Islamic Relief charity, which is based in the UK.  She also wrote an article for the Metro newspaper about her visit and told Sky News that the £1.5million sent by the UK government was just 'one per cent of what the United Nations had asked for'.  She also bemoaned rising inflation in Pakistan and implored viewers to donate.  It was clearly a plea from the heart.

Shah describes herself as a 'proud Yorkshire lass' in her Twitter profile, but when other Yorkshire lasses were being groomed and raped by Pakistani gangs she openly mocked them on Twitter by retweeting an account that had written: "Those abused girls in Rotherham and elsewhere just need to shut their mouths.  For the good of diversity."  To alleviate any notion of ambiguity she also clicked the 'like' button on said tweet.

Ironically, Shah has since been appointed the 'shadow minister for crime reduction'.  One wonders if the remit includes gang rape.  Prior to that role she was the 'shadow minister for community cohesion' and before that the 'shadow minister for women and equalities'.  You might laugh, if it wasn't so insulting.

During Naz Shah's seven year parliamentary career she has repeatedly acted in the interests of her ethnic and religious kin.  She is an outspoken critic of Israel and had the party whip briefly withdrawn in 2016 when she was found to have posted a meme suggesting Israel be relocated to the United States.  She is particularly fond of one of her Commons speeches in which she defended the Prophet Muhammad, comparing criticism of him to the physical damage of statues that was seen during the BLM riots.  This speech has been pinned to the top of her Twitter feed for more than a year.

Since returning from Pakistan, Naz has given a keynote speech at the Islamic Financial News Forum 2022 in London.  There, she announced that the 'Islamic finance sector' is set to grow beyond $4trillion by 2030.  Asides from the question as to why there is a parallel faith-based finance system in the West, why is such plentiful wealth not called upon to help victims of, say, a flood in Pakistan?  The United Nations demanded £138million for Pakistan, but this is a drop in the ocean for a finance sector worth trillions.

These are the actions of a fifth column.  Parallel institutions, parallel rules, parallel finance - taking everything from a host nation while providing very little of positive note in return.

Furthermore, this fifth column has effectively captured the Labour party.  How else are the grooming gangs allowed to operate so freely in Labour-led towns and cities?  Why did Labour's current leader turn a blind eye when he was in such a lofty position as the director of public prosecutions?  And let's not forget who the victims are in these crimes - the very offspring of the workers that Labour once strove to represent.

The party of Keir Hardie is dead.

LABOUR'S PAKISTANI LOVE-IN

75 years ago the end of the British Raj triggered the independence of both India and Pakistan.  While some Labour politicians were largely silent about the former, many of them wallowed in the celebration of the latter.  Sadiq Khan tweeted or retweeted about Pakistan no less than ten times on Sunday.  No great surprise there really, but it was Starmer's tweet that was seen as a slap in the face for a generation of British girls.  "Britain's a far richer country for the contribution of the British Pakistani community" he crowed.  Thousands of victims of Pakistani grooming gangs up and down the country may beg to differ about their 'contribution'...

Needless to say, Starmer's tweet was not well received.  "How exactly has Britain grown richer from the Pakistani diaspora to the UK?" asked Mark Cropper, "I see people who remain separate, who reject British culture and adhere to the depraved morals of the Third World."  Alan Quinn wrote: "Rape gangs, hordes of thugs, honour killings in their own families, female genital mutilation, animal cruelty, Sharia law, disrespect for British laws, forcing cinemas to close, no women's rights?"

The Labour leader did not mention the independence of India on his Twitter timeline.

Starmer may be prepared to stand in front of a Union flag these days, but make no mistake - he and his party are no friends of Britain.

SARWAR'S PRIVATE SCHOOL HYPOCRISY

Scottish Labour's new leader faced accusations of hypocrisy as he launched his party's Holyrood manifesto on Thursday.  In traditional socialist fashion, the 114-page manifesto contains criticism of private schools, stating: "Scottish Labour will end all public sector support for fee-paying private schools, implementing the recommendations made by the Barclay Review to end their charitable status for rates relief as a contribution towards achieving a more socially just and inclusive society".

It will of course come as no surprise that Anas Sarwar sends his own children to a private school.  Like many Labour politicians before him, he is guilty of the rank hypocrisy of 'do as I say, not as I do'.

At the manifesto launch he was asked when he'd first realised that private schools were a threat to a 'more socially just and inclusive society'.  He replied: "I have supported this policy ever since Kez Dugdale was leader and it was first proposed in our manifesto, and I proudly support it now.  I’m open about the fair question and the fair criticism that people make around the decision that my wife and I made for our children.  Every parent wants to do what’s best for their children, but I want every child to have opportunity".

Sarwar was then probed further on the matter several times, one reporter asking if he accepted accusations that he was 'a humbug and a hypocrite'.  "You can call me whatever you like, I've been called worse than that" was his response.  "Is it an accurate criticism?" he was pushed again.  Sarwar: "As I’ve made clear before, I accept it’s a fair criticism.  I’ve been open and honest about this.  There are different forms of inequality and prejudice that my children will face that other children won’t face.  That still means I accept the criticism around the choice that I’ve made for my children’s own education".

Sarwar didn't elaborate on what inequalities and prejudice his children would face, but there are plenty of fellow Asian pupils at their school - Hutchesons' Grammar School in Glasgow.  There is even a Muslim assembly once a month.  According to The Herald, school fees there currently range from £9,812 to £12,649 per pupil per year.  That's peanuts for the Sarwar family, whose political dynasty began in Scotland with his father Mohammad Sarwar.

Mohammad moved to the UK from Pakistan in 1976 and later founded a cash and carry chain, United Wholesale Grocers.  By 2017 the firm had a turnover of £234 million.  He became a Glasgow city councillor in 1992 and in 1997 was elected MP for Glasgow Govan.  In 2010 he stood down and was replaced by his son Anas.  Anas was kicked out of Westminster in the 2015 SNP surge, but was elected to Holyrood a year later.

Meanwhile, his father returned to his native Pakistan, renounced his British citizenship and is currently the governor of Punjab province.  This followed his failure to obtain a peerage in 2010.  A life peerage had been recommended by outgoing Prime Minister Gordon Brown, but was reportedly blocked by HMRC due to concerns about his financial dealings.  At that time Mohammad's other son Athif was awaiting an appeal against a conviction for fraud, relating to money laundering.  He was cleared in 2011.

RULES FOR THEE...

but not for Labour councillor Aftab Razaq who appears to have left the country in order to attend a wedding in Pakistan.  Photos of Cllr Razaq appeared on Facebook last weekend tagging him at a restaurant and a function room in Pakistan, showing him posing for group photos and mingling with guests.

Cllr Razaq is still reportedly in Pakistan, but it's not clear how he flew out of the country given that current UK rules forbid foreign travel except for 'legally permitted reasons'.  It's not clear what those reasons are, but the Manchester Evening News quotes a relative at Razaq's Manchester home as saying he was 'out of the country at a family funeral'.  That's probably the same reason Razaq provided for his departure from the UK.

Cllr Razaq represents the Whalley Range ward on Manchester City Council.  He was suspended from the Labour group on Friday, but remains a Labour member while an investigation is carried out.  Neither Labour or the media have yet been able to contact Razaq.

Cllr Suzannah Reeves, chief whip of the Manchester Labour group, says that the photos suggest that Cllr Razaq has broken both UK and Pakistan coronavirus rules.  They may also want to look into exactly how he managed to get a Covid vaccine before he travelled to Pakistan.  A photo posted on Facebook on January 31 shows him receiving the jab, despite being aged just 52.

BURNHAM SILENT ON RUSHOLME INCIDENT

The scene in Rusholme, Manchester, on Friday night

Friday night's ugly scenes in Manchester were just the latest in a long line of major incidents completely ignored by the national media.  The scenes came a week after disturbances broke out in a small seaside town in Kent.  That incident was exposed by Nigel Farage on his YouTube channel.  Will Rusholme in Manchester be the next destination for the intrepid politician-come-reporter?  He's a brave man if he does head that way.

While most people's thoughts were on the 75th anniversary of the surrender of Japan, one community was more concerned with the 73rd anniversary of the independence of Pakistan from British rule.  Pakistan Independence Day was on Friday and the locals in Rusholme were keen to celebrate - despite Manchester currently being subject to a local lockdown.  Hundreds of people gathered on Wilmslow Road aka 'Curry Mile', so named because of its claim to house the largest number of south Asian restaurants in the UK.

Social distancing was non-existent - as were face masks - but drums, car horns, flares, fireworks, flags, cheering and dancing were very much in practice.  As the situation spiralled out of control the police were forced to close off the road.  Videos emerged on social media of flag waving mobs threatening the police and cheering as they retreated (see below).

The crowds were later dispersed following the intervention of a local Labour councillor.  Cllr Ahmed Ali assisted the police in persuading revellers to leave the area.  No arrests were made.

DCI Carol Hobson told the Manchester Evening News: "It is really disappointing to see behaviour of this type whilst we, as a community, are trying to combat Coronavirus and keep each other safe.  Friday night is one of the busiest in terms of demand on the police service and incidents like this one pull invaluable resources away from other people who may need the police more desperately. These blatant breaches slow us down".

The illegal gathering was also condemned by the local Labour MP.  Pakistan-born Afzal Khan had earlier urged his community to 'celebrate safely' and even tweeted a message in Urdu.  Clearly it fell on deaf ears, but he was keen to blame outsiders for the debacle.

Strangely, the directly elected Mayor of Greater Manchester chose to stay quiet about the incident.  Andy Burnham is well versed in issuing statements about a whole host of issues, but on this he said precisely nothing.  He was joined in his silence by the mainstream media and there was no mention of it even in the local BBC news.  BBC Radio Manchester did however cover the story of a trans person who was 'misgendered' by a doorman.  Oh, the horror!

Meanwhile, the spread of coronavirus appears to be gaining pace - especially in BAME communities - but the politicians and the media don't want you to know the reasons why...
