Yet again Electoral Fraud in Labour Constituencies

Not long ago, it happened in Tower Hamlets where instances of electoral fraud and voter intimidation were investigated, leading to the removal from his post of the then Mayor Lutfur Rahman who was found guilty of corrupt and illegal practices by an Election Court in 2015.

It was found that votes for rival parties had been intentionally lost at the count and Mr Rahman was removed from office and banned from standing for election for five years. 

But in spite of very serious issues that proved that the election was rigged, in the following election no proof of identification was introduced. Irregularities also included ballot tampering and postal vote fraud.

Now, yet another scandal has shaken the Labour Party that led to the suspension of East Ham and West Ham constituency parties represented by Stephen Timms and Lyn Brown.

Troubled years for the Labour Party that indicated that until further notice no party meetings or business can take place, but Labour Party authorities refused to divulge the nature of the investigation. The allegations of electoral malpractice are said to be wide ranging and supported by a considerable amount of evidence. 

In places like Newham, support for the Labour Party has been massive with practically all seats being occupied by Labour Party Councillors. The borough also has a Labour Party Mayor. How confident can we be that in the coming London Assembly elections voting will be legal? Three separate scandals in constituencies controlled by the Labour Party.

In a few days time, the House of Commons will consider a bill demanding electoral proof of identification for voters. I reckon that such piece of legislation is long overdue to tackle manipulatioon and fraud in elections. 

After the anti-Semitism scandal, the Islamophobia scandal, and several other scandals involving misconduct including sexual misconduct, racism, misuse of public monies, false statements of parliamentary expenses and political intimidation and bribes leading to the arrest of the Labour Mayor in Liverpool, the Labour Party should grasp the opportunity of supporting a piece of legislation aimed at ensuring that voting is legal and that those voting are legally entitled to vote.

It was pretty extraordinary to see a Labour Party MP walking inside the Houses of Parliament wearing a Police electronic tag attached to one of her legs because she lied and falsely accused an innocent person who was overseas of an offense that she herself committed. 

With all that has happened in recent years, the Labour Party can hardly claim that it occupies the high moral ground. 

Changing a leader is easy, but getting of a bad reputation based on corruption, undemocratic practices and examples of incompetence publicly displayed by members of the Labour Party Shadow Cabinet is not going to be easy.

 

Boys and Girls in Sport - How important equality in sports matters for equality in Society

Boys and Girls in Sports - How important it is that we focus in equality in sports as a way to change society and promote gender equality everywhere?

Today, Parliament could be legally targeted because of abuses committed in the House of Parliament including mistreatment, sex abuses, harassment and many other unwanted and erroneous behaviours.

How much of what we at the workplace is actually a reflection of what is happening elsewhere. Britain has some of the most successful female soccer teams and girls are naturally inclined to participate in a sport that they very much love. Unfortunately, in places where their vocation for sports should be supported many girls are being unmotivated because there individuals who think and tell them 'that soccer is for boys only'. Well, those idiots that say that 'soccer is for boys only' should be told in no uncertain manner that soccer is for all and girls have a natural right to play soccer or any other sport without being intimidated, harassed or ridiculed.

I want a society in which men and women have equal opportunities in whichever lawful activity they feel inclined to participate. I want a society in which people are not discriminated against because of their gender. But once again we are struggling to achieve the kind of society that I want because there are far too many people who go out of their way to prevent such society from becoming a reality.

The Principle must come from the very top. If there needs to be legislation to make clear that there must not be any kind of discrimination in sports, let's have legislation. Let's send a clear message to all and specially to those who are in places of responsibility like centres of education. Do you want to play soccer? Play soccer. Do you want to play rugby? Play rugby.

Politics and Crime: The Godfather is Real Politics

Politics and Crime - The Godfather is Real Politics

When you look at divisions today, divisions everywhere, divided political parties, divided society, divided countries, divided world, and the network of intrigues, you see The Godfather. When big things are at stake, life is cheap.

Looking at the what is happening everywhere, it is easy that Jo Cox was not the first and will not be the last. I don't see how the big political conflicts of today can come to a peaceful end and peace is a very elusive target.

Certainties are over. Trust is gone. If one of the few means any civilised society has to protect itself is censorship, we are doomed. The more censorship is promoted rest assured that violence will follow. If political persecution, harassment, intimidation, discrimination, demonising, distortion, defamation, libel and incarceration for political ends become the norm, Democracy is dead. Political Correctness generates a Totalitarian Society and no one is safe. When the very same organisations that are supposed to stand for Freedom become promoters of Intolerance, we are doomed.

I often remember the famous expression "The Pen is Mightier than the Sword" and say that if Political Correctness builds dams and takes away The Pen that allows us to express our thoughts peacefully, The Sword will rule.

Very much like the old League of Nations, the Organisation of the United Nations is falling apart and treaties are being torn to pieces. Tearing apart a Treaty is merely the recognition that the circumstances that led to signing such Treaty are no more. The World is changing and many are preparing themselves for war and the coming war - unlike previous wars that were called World Wars - will be a real World War and there will no place to hide. There will be war between countries and there will be war within countries caused by conflicting values and people who will take no prisoners. Everything that we cherish will be lost because in the coming wars there will be no winners. There will be only losers.

Looking at one country in particular - Germany -, for some time I have thought that Angela Merkel because of her own wrongdoing might the last democratic Chancellor of Germany. She misused Democracy and created a nightmare not just for Germany but for many other countries that seeing themselves under threat are building barriers to protect themselves. With her policies, Angela Merkel promoted a Siege Mentality justified by the fact the European Continent is being invaded and destroyed by imported forces of Intolerance, invasion that has been promoted by Political Correctness, Corruption, Incompetence and Ideological Madness.
