Muslim Factions Strengthening Their Hand Within Glasgow Politics

There is a report in the Herald today that describes the weeding out of various Labour councillors in Glasgow. Almost half of the current crop will not be picked for re-election. You have to marvel at the sheer Stalinism of this. Theirs is a political culture so corrupt, so free of ordinary democratic restraints, that change must come about not through the judgement of the electorate or the opinion of local party members, but the arrival of the Man from Moscow (or in this case London).

THE unprecedented sacking by Labour of almost 20 of its councillors on Scotland’s largest local authority will see around half the current administration stand down before next May’s election.

Senior figures within Glasgow City Council’s Labour group have told of colleagues being visibly upset as more have found out the party’s machinery has effectively called a halt to their political careers.

...The cull has been driven by London, with input from some local key players.

One party source said: “The guy from London, Ken Clark, has done this across the London boroughs and knows all the backgrounds of those being interviewed. If he’s in your interview, it’s bad. They’ve been savage and in all my years in politics I’ve never known anything as brutal.”

The Herald also has some indications of who the replacements will be. Several are allied with the Mohammedan faction.

But names are also emerging of potential replacements, including former MSPs Frank McAveety and Bill Butler, ex-councillor Chris Kelly, James Adams, an RNIB campaigns manager who works with Anas Sarwar, Soryia Siddique, a lecturer at Cardonald College, and Aileen McKenzie, another ally of the Sarwar dynasty.

The SNP, of course, is no better and probably much worse. With several figures formerly prominent within the Glasgow SNP resigning recently, it looks as though the Muslim faction, with Nicola Sturgeon as its dhimmi figurehead, has fought and won a civil war within the ranks of the local party.

SNP hopes of winning Glasgow in next year’s council elections have suffered a further setback with the resignation of another party official amid bitter infighting over strategy.

Ari Mack quit as convener of the SNP’s Glasgow Regional Association (GRA).

His departure follows that of GRA Secretary Shona McAlpine and GRA vice-convenor Norman MacLeod in recent weeks, after a series of internal rows about how many candidates to field next May.

This seems innocent enough. Then we learn what the dispute is really about.

One SNP source claimed the fighting was being driven by supporters of Sturgeon, many from the Asian community, who had joined the party in the expectation of getting the chance to stand as candidates.

...A Labour source added: “The long-running feud between Nicola Sturgeon’s faction and the rest of the Glasgow SNP is bubbling up yet again. The SNP are clearly more interested in putting party interests before the people of Glasgow.”

One of the Glasgow SNP's recently departed, Shona McAlpine, dared to challenge the Muslim faction a couple of years ago after it was caught engaging in Tower-Hamlets style membership fakery.

Jahangir Hanif was asked to explain irregularities over new members signed up as he tried to win support to stand in the Holyrood elections.

The SNP members' department began asking questions after people who supposedly signed membership forms claimed to have no knowledge of joining the party.

West Scotland activist Shona McAlpine - who received the query - then demanded answers on the anomalies from Hanif, a Glasgow city councillor.

In a series of emails to Hanif, she commented: "This isn't good enough. If the media get hold of the fact we are falsly (sic) signing people up they would have a field day.
"Can you tell me if any of the others you have sent are real members or just ones you have made up?" Controversial Hanif - who was dubbed the Kalashnikov Councillor when he trained his children to fire an assault rifle during a visit to Pakistan - last night denied any wrongdoing.

He played down McAlpine's concerns, saying she had wrongly assumed he was connected to the irregularities in the membership list.

Hanif said: "She panics on every little thing. She got a whole bunch of people and assumed I had signed them up. She panicked when she got all these people.

"I didn't falsify a single form. I don't believe in doing that. I think she has panicked and mixed things up.

Shona McAlpine earned the ire of the Muslim faction. And now she is gone.

Scotland Has Two New Muslim MSPs

While George Galloway has fortunately been rejected by the good burghers of Glasgow, and will no doubt now slink off back to London, or perhaps stand for the Muslim Brotherhood in the upcoming elections in Egypt, Scotland now, unfortunately, has two new Muslim MSPs: Hanzala Malik (Labour) and Humza Yousaf (SNP).

This means the Muslims have now captured two out of the 129 overall MSP positions.

It's notable that both of these new MSPs got their seats through the Regional List rather than through direct election at the constituency level. In fact, both were placed first on the Region Lists of their respective parties in the Glasgow region. So no Scot got to vote on these people directly. They were simply appointed as part of a bureaucratic system.

I will post more about these two characters in separate posts. From what I have learned about them so far, they seem to be exactly what you would expect: typical Muslim agitators, seeking to advance the cause of Islam and use the power of the state to suppress any disquiet the indigenous population might express about what is being done to their country, their continent and their civilisation.

Scottish Conservative Quits Over Vote-Rigging Allegations

The Herald today reports that Glasgow's only Conservative councillor, David Meikle, has quit the party's regional list amid allegations of vote-rigging.

David Meikle, Glasgow’s only Tory councillor, withdrew from the city’s regional ballot for May’s election, claiming his complaints about a recent internal selection contest had been stonewalled by the party hierarchy.

Meikle and and another candidate had filed official complaints about the procedure a couple of weeks ago.

The Herald revealed earlier this month that Mr Meikle and another Holyrood candidate, Richard Sullivan, had demanded an investigation into the ranking of candidates for the party’s Glasgow list, alleging “electoral malpractice”.

The pair claimed a sudden influx of new members had skewed the result, and that numerous ballot papers bore similar handwriting.

However, the party’s headquarters refused to instigate a probe, arguing there was no need for one.

Mr Meikle, 27, a councillor for Pollokshields since 2007, last night confirmed he had refused to sign nomination papers for the regional list as he felt the process and the result were tainted.

He added that, out of loyalty to his local association, he would remain the candidate for the first-past-the post seat of Glasgow Southside.

Could the vote-rigging allegations relate to our Muslim friends? There is no hint of this in the article, not even "Asian", the usual elite code for "Muslim" whenever wrong-doing is being discussed.

Last year the Herald did report on "Asian" infiltration of the Scottish Conservative party in Glasgow.

Senior Conservatives in Glasgow have raised the alarm over an alleged plot to influence the selection of party candidates.

Seven constituency chairmen and women have written to the party’s central office in Edinburgh about a mass sign-up of members linked to the newly-created One Nation Forum.

Mark McInnes, the director of the party in Scotland, is to meet the seven today to listen to their fears.

The forum was formed last year by businessman Majid Hussain in an attempt to improve links between ethnic minorities and the Scottish Tories, as well as to raise funds for the party.

However, senior Glasgow Conservatives are concerned that the forum may have signed up hundreds of members ahead of the candidate selections for next year’s Holyrood poll.

The retirement of the Conservatives’ sole list member in the city, Bill Aitken, has sparked a scramble for this seat as well as other constituency nominations.

It is believed an influx of forum members to the party could decide the election for top place on the list, as well as influence the contests for constituency selections.

The party is due to select its candidates this week for the Glasgow Pollok and Glasgow Southside seats, the latter of which is being targeted by Mr Hussain.

Note that David Meikle represents Pollokshields, indicating a possible connection between the two reports.

This area has been heavily "enriched" by Muslim colonists. To quote from the Wikipedia page on Pollokshields:

Modern Pollokshields is an area of ethnic diversity, home to large communities of mainly Asian peoples including Pakistani, as well as Indian origin. The area's commercial eastern side is home to a large number of South Asian shops (fruit, meat and clothes shops) attracting shoppers from all over Scotland.

Albert Drive is the location of the two Eid celebrations when the Muslim community of Glasgow congregate to commemorate the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

Note also that Richard Sullivan, who joined with David Meikle in making a complaint about
the recent vote-rigging allegations, was also one of those who signed a letter calling for an investigation of the Muslim infiltration organised by the One Nation Forum last year.

The signatories to the letter were: Patricia Cunningham in Glasgow South, Richard Sullivan in Glasgow Central, John Anderson in Glasgow North, Archie McIntyre in Glasgow South West, Barbara McCulloch in Glasgow North West, George Clark in Glasgow East, and Randle Wilson in Glasgow North East.

This political discussion forum, where many of the posters seem to have inside knowledge of the goings-on, mentioned the vote-rigging allegations last week (in connection with the departure of another Conservative candidate):

I've heard allegedly MacAskill has been sacked regarding irregularities of a somewhat Rahman nature, specifically the Tory membership in his local area jumping tenfold just before the selection process!

The phrase "of a somewhat Rahman nature" is certainly intriguing. It refers to Lutfur Rahman, a former Labour candidate who abandoned the party and stood as an independent. He succeeded in becoming mayor of Tower Hamlets despite being linked to Islamic supremacist organisations and vote-rigging.

All in all, I'd say the likelihood of our Mohammedan friends being involved in the latest shenanigans is high. Political correctness has now so suffused our media, though, that we are forced to play these ridiculous guessing games instead of being able to read the plain, simple truth.
