Hanzala 'Two Jobs' Malik

Labour's Muslim MSP appointee Hanzala Malik is refusing to give up his job as a Glasgow councillor. The man obviously weighs and eats as much as two normal men. Maybe he needs the two salaries. All that food doesn't come cheap.

A DOUBLE-JOBBING Labour MSP has been accused of treating voters “with contempt” for not standing down as a councillor despite a by-election taking place in his ward.

Hanzala Malik, who became a Glasgow list MSP in May, is refusing to quit his £16,234-a-year post as a councillor for Hillhead.

The death of SNP councillor George Roberts means there will be a by-election in Hillhead, which has four councillors in November.

Anxious for a double win, the SNP are putting pressure on Mr Malik, who also earns £57,521 as an MSP, to stand down. Because of the proportional voting system, there would be no extra cost to taxpayers in filling two vacancies instead of one – the votes would simply be counted in a different way.

But Mr Malik, 54, who in 2007 urged an SNP MSP to give up his “inappropriate” second job as a Glasgow city councillor, says he has a “moral duty” to stay until his term ends in 2012.

SNP whip Councillor Graeme Hendry said: “If the rumours are true that Hanzala Malik is refusing to stand down then he is treating the people of Hillhead with contempt.”

Muslim Councillor Charged with Assaulting his Wife

LABOUR’S problems in Glasgow have mounted after a party councillor was bailed after being charged with assaulting his wife.

Shaukat Butt MBE, who represents the Govan ward, appeared in court on Friday after he was arrested and detained in custody.

The Labour Party said it would suspend him.

The former JP has been a councillor since 1995 and is a member of various city bodies.

Butt’s political future is now in doubt following his arrest for alleged assault.

The 69-year-old was released on standard bail after appearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court, and the pleading trial has been set for October.

Butt has been ill recently, and it is not known if he wanted to stand in May’s local elections. His suspension means he cannot stand for Labour. As vice-chair of Glasgow Community and Safety Services, Butt said last year: “Violence and crime can have a devastating impact on our communities.”

A spokesman for Scottish Labour said: “This man will be suspended from the Labour Party until the outcome is known and we take these allegations exceptionally seriously.”

Butt said he had “no comment” to make.

Labour MSP Anne McTaggart Allegedly Referred to Ethnic Minority Colleague as 'The Bomber'

The Herald has a story today about recently-elected Labour MSP, Anne McTaggart, who in a previous job as a community support worker, referred to one of her ethnic minority colleagues, presumably a Muslim, as "the Bomber". After complaints against her were upheld, she was re-assigned and sent on indoctrination courses.

A newly-elected Labour MSP was disciplined in a previous post after verbally abusing and intimidating a colleague from an ethnic minority, the Sunday Herald can reveal.

Anne McTaggart was moved to another job and attended an anti-racism course after her employer upheld a raft of complaints against her.

A spokesman for Scottish Labour said the party would be asking “a number of questions” about the revelations.

McTaggart, 41, was elected as a Glasgow List MSP at last month’s Holyrood election. An ally of Steven Purcell, the disgraced former city council leader, she is also a councillor for the Drumchapel and Anniesland ward.

Before being elected as a local representative in 2009, she was employed by Glasgow City Council.

However, McTaggart’s employment as a community support worker was marred by controversy.

An investigation has revealed two colleagues made a total of four separate complaints against her in 2006. Three of the four, this newspaper has learned, were upheld.

One complaint centred on claims McTaggart made a threatening remark about a co-worker. Another complaint focused on accusations she intimidated another colleague.

The final investigation related to allegations McTaggart referred to the same employee, who is from an ethnic minority, in disparaging terms.

Following a disciplinary hearing, McTaggart received a warning and was relocated to another part of the city. She was also suspended for a short period and attended equalities training.

A source close to the MSP said the course was also attended by other colleagues.

The source added McTaggart denied that the inappropriate language included describing her former council colleague as “the bomber”.

The Herald Uses the Death of Bin Laden as an Opportunity to Do Some PR for Muslims

Humza Yousaf, one of Scotland’s most prominent young Muslims and an SNP candidate for Glasgow in Thursday’s Holyrood election, said: “There is no doubt members of the Muslim community will also be relieved that the world’s most dangerous mass murderers is no longer a threat.

“This will hopefully give closure to hundreds, if not thousands, of people in the UK and US, but will also hopefully bring about the beginning of a stable and secure Pakistan, and an end to drone attacks in the region that have killed many civilians.”

Dr Salah Beltagui, convener of the Muslim Council for Scotland, also welcomed bin Laden’s death and said he hoped it would lead to less “military interference” in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

He said: “It’s a bit of a relief really, relief that this symbol of this organisation, having at last been removed, will see the start of the end of this idea of killing people with no justification, especially those who have no part of any military action.”

Hanzala Malik, a leading Labour Glasgow City councillor, said: “This is a landmark victory for Pakistan, as well as the rest of the world. Someone connected with so much carnage has met his maker and that will undoubtedly dent his organisation.

“Hopefully the message goes out to young Muslims that bin Laden’s way was not the way of Islam and that while he has been a beacon for many, the fear he instilled could not protect him in the end.”

Dr Nazim Ghouri, a director of the Scottish Islamic Foundation, said: “I’m on holiday and have only just caught the headlines. What has struck me, though, is the efficiency of the whole operation.”

Aamer Anwar, the Glasgow-based lawyer, said he believed events in the Middle East this year had already marginalised bin Laden within the Muslim world.

Notice how they have managed to infiltrate Scottish political parties.

Disgraceful Article Attempts to Blame Glaswegian Culture for Rape Epidemic

A disgraceful article in the Observer today attempts to blame Glasgow's supposedly macho, insensitive male chauvinist culture for the rape epidemic that has swept the city this year. This is an outrageous falsification of the truth. It is overwhelmingly clear that the rapes are being committed by third-world immigrants, almost certainly asylum seekers brought in by the ruling Labour party, most likely Muslims (since Muslim rape of infidel women has been a staple of Muslim conduct for more than 1000 years). This is exactly the pattern that has reproduced itself across Scandinavia as Muslim "asylum seekers" have settled there.

The numerology of rape and sexual assault in Scotland is stark and damning. Around 35% of our population still believe that if a woman is attacked having flirted with a man, then she is partly responsible for her fate. More than 30% of us believe that if a woman wears "provocative" clothing, then she loses the right to say "enough" at any stage of a sexual encounter.

The author of the article, Kevin Mckenna, is essentially a tabloid hack trying to step up to the broadsheet level and failing badly. The giveaway that he's not quite up to it is his nasty habit of throwing in big words whose meaning he doesn't understand. "Numerology" in the extract above is a good example. His articles for the Observer are invariably poor and insubstantial. Packed with cliches about Glasgow and Scotland, they read as if Mckenna had flung them together stream-of-consciousness fashion in a noisy pub on Karaoke night while downing more than a few glasses of his favourite tipple.

Moreover, his closeness to the Labour party destroys any credibility he might otherwise have as a political commentator. When the Steven Purcell scandal broke, revealing Sopranos-style corruption in Glasgow - in a sinister nexus featuring police, politicians and the media - McKenna had almost nothing substantive to say about it and what he did say was in defence of Purcell.

It is the Labour party that has ushered the invading army of asylum seekers into Glasgow and it is the Labour party that must bear moral responsibility for the rape epidemic they are now causing. It is hardly surprising therefore that Mckenna attempts to whitewash their responsibility by blaming indigenous Glasgow culture instead.

Hotel Cancels BNP Event Booking After Labour-Inspired Agitation

The BNP are a long way from being what the people of Scotland or Britain need as an effective Counterjihad party, but this is typical of what any party that opposes the utopian ideology of the elite will face.

The hotel set to host the British National Party’s Scottish manifesto launch has cancelled the Party’s booking after an anti-democratic hate campaign by a Labour MP.
Eric Joyce, the Labour MP for Falkirk, posted instructions on his blog telling people to email the hotel’s general manager to request that he “refuse bookings from the British National Party”.

One commenter on Mr Joyce’s blog wrote that he had spread his message around on social networking sites, and another boasted of sending a “threatening email” to the hotel.
Eric Joyce, who was the first MP to claim more than £1 million cumulatively in parliamentary expenses, commented on the decision to cancel the event as “awesome” and “brilliant”. He also told one commenter on Twitter who respectfully questioned whether his actions were a sign of “a healthy democracy” to “grow up”.

British National Party Scotland Press Officer David Orr reported that Paul Bray, general manager of MacDonald Hotels’ Inchyra Grange hotel in Falkirk, where the manifesto was set to be launched, phoned him just after 5 p.m. yesterday to tell him that the event was cancelled and that the Party would no longer be welcome at the hotel.

Mr Bray had received phone calls threatening him with loss of future business if the conference went ahead, Mr Orr said.

Despite the fact that the conference was booked under the name “BNP Scotland”, MacDonald Hotels posted on their Twitter page yesterday that “The hotel was not aware of the true nature of the meeting until today.”

Gary Raikes, the Scotland Organiser for the British National Party, described the decision as “unbelievable” and “fascist”.

“The hotel informed me a few hours earlier that they had received our cheque for rooms booked and all was well,” he said. “A couple of hours later they cancel the event. Unbelievable! We cannot lie down and be treated like this. Hire cars have been booked, flights booked, rooms booked, tickets sold, a band booked, a photographer booked, manifestoes printed. This event has taken Davie Orr months to organise. The press were due to attend, with many confirming they would today. Will they report this attack on democracy by Eric Joyce the fascist, I wonder?”

David Orr said it was a clear case of discrimination: “If this had been a Muslim event or MOBOs or any other gathering of religion or ethnic minorities, this would result in criminal charges being brought on a ‘hate crime’.”

The British National Party would like to assure its supporters that this autocratic behaviour by the Labour Party will not affect our Scottish Assembly election campaign. We will never give in to persecution, and we will endeavour to let the people of Scotland hear our democratic message through the hard work of our dedicated activists, in spite of any party that tries to ruthlessly stamp out oppositional views.

Glasgow employs more teachers of English as a second language than the rest of Scotland put together

This is the boast of Gordon Matheson, Labour leader of Glasgow District Council, reported today in the Evening Times.

The number of refugees and asylum seekers in Glasgow means pupils speak more than 100 different languages in their own homes.

That presents special problems for schools and the city council now employs more teachers of English as a second language than the rest of Scotland put together.
