The Enriching Delights Of Multi-Cultural Britain

[cleefarqhuar]

One of the really attractive aspects of uncontrolled immigration is that the fuddy-duddiness of Britain is rapidly disappearing.
Oldsters may remember the time when elections were treated seriously and with respect by the British population

Thankfully such outdated notions are rapidly being consigned to the dustbin

However a part of our multicultural society still does regard elections seriously even if they do not have the same solemn respect for elections as ageing Englishfolk

So today we can witness the true vibrancy of sub-continental election fervour in our staid and boringly sober society.

Votal posting was introduced by the Labour government in the full knowledge that our Asian communities would use it to their advantage (and by association Labour's advantage).
And so they did.
Votal posting was adopted by the Asian communities with enthusiasm, and they commenced to register multiple voters in domiciles that previously held no such voter.
One High Court Judge compared the resultant voting system in some predominantly Asian communities as ' like a banana republic'

But did this admonition from the hated whitey legalise bastion change anything?
Did our political elite take note?

Not at all.

We must all embrace multicultural norms that may well be different from traditional British values

And recently we have had the colourful vibrancy of Tower Hamlets showing up the greyness of British voting habits

Counters, it is reported were jostled and abused by the followers of an Islamic party. Voters coming to vote were also accosted and abused unless their voting intentions were agreeable

All this is if course, against the Law of the Land, but policemen present decided the correct political procedure was to promulgate a racial tolerance that trumped the law

Reporters have shown that a large block of postal votes came from residences where the registered voters have never resided. The Mayor of Tower Hamlets (expelled by the Labour Party for his extremist links) openly diverts public money to Islamic causes and pays public money to a Bangladeshi Broadcasting station that fawningly supports him
I think it is marvellous that Britain is a tolerant society that accepts that corruption is endemic in Asian society, and therefore, as Asians form a substantial chunk of our society, we must tolerate that corruption

Forgive me, I must go to the pub to celebrate multiculturalism

I thought this multicultural society could unite in applauding this new Spoonerism - where are they all?.

Maybe, given time, they will. Whether it was deliberate or not (I assumed it was), it deserved attention being drawn to it: otherwise, lot's wife - a cellar of port.

Most of us saw the Tower Hamlets election images. Slightly disturbing, maybe, but the Electoral Commission's jury is still out.

Britain is turning into a third world country. If you want to know how and why, consider three of the ongoing scandals that continued to fester over the weekend.
by James Delingpole 2 Jun 2014, 1:01 AM PDT
The first concerns allegations of vote-rigging in London borough of Tower Hamlets, where scandal-wracked, Islamist-linked mayor Lutfur Rahman has just won a second term as mayor.
The mayor himself, according to a senior Labour figure present, was “visibly throwing his weight around” and being “overly familiar with count staff, some of whom were telling him they had voted for him even as they counted the votes”. Mr Golds, another subjected to a recount, found his vote had changed by more than a fifth overnight, from 1,098 to 1,345.
And Sanu Miah? In the recount, his vote dropped by a quarter from 2,270 to 1,722 and he fell from first place to sixth. Two of the three seats in his ward went to Mr Rahman’s Tower Hamlets First party. “I think this election was stolen from me,” said Mr Miah.
Not everyone agrees with that. One of Mr Miah’s opponents had the same surname: the counters could have got them mixed up. But he might be right. The normal rules do not apply in Tower Hamlets. It was Britain’s most troubling election in Britain’s most troubling borough.
Then there's the similarly troubling case of Operation Trojan Horse - the campaign to infiltrate a number of state schools in Birmingham, oust non-Muslim teachers, hijack the curriculum, segregate boys from girls and create a corner of the English Midlands that is forever Islamabad.
At Park View, for example, there have been complaints of segregation in classrooms and of GCSE syllabuses being restricted to comply with conservative Islamic teaching. Sex education lessons have allegedly seen impressionable teenage boys told that rape is legal in marriage, while religious education classes have apparently seen pupils given a list of Christian teachers and told to try to convert them. At one assembly, a senior teacher is said to have endorsed terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki. At another, detailed by a Sunday newspaper, he allegedly described non-Muslims to pupils as ‘kuffar’ — or infidels.
Sex education lessons have, according to reports in a Sunday newspaper, seen impressionable teenage boys told rape is legal in marriage, while religious education classes have seen pupils given a list of Christian teachers and told to try to convert them Last November, Sheikh Shady al-Suleiman, a preacher many regard as extremist, was invited to speak at the school.
Nigel Sloan, a former teacher at the school, has said Mozz Hussain, the deputy headmaster, preached ‘mind-blowing’ anti-American and anti-Western ‘propaganda’ to pupils, describing the U.S. as ‘the evil in the world’ and ‘the cause of all famine’.
And finally, from Charles Moore, an excellent insight as to why this has been allowed to happen. In a piece entitled "Our voting system is flawed but politicians don't seem to care", he writes:
Tower Hamlets has been a problem for many years, but its controversies are not unique. There have been cases of electoral malpractice in Birmingham, Bradford, Slough, Woking, Peterborough. There are also serious problems, particularly in big cities, with the Electoral Register.
Fraud, he says, is widespread - and known by the authorities to be widespread:
There are two reasons for this – forgery and coercion. The first has now been mitigated by insisting on postal voters giving a signature and a date of birth (in Tower Hamlets this time, no fewer than 10 per cent of the postal votes returned were rejected because of discrepancies in this area). The second flourishes, particularly in minority ethnic communities, where leaders can exploit clan or family ties to “harvest” votes from their juniors and from women.
So why is so little being done about it? One answer is that the very institutions charged with preventing this kind of behaviour have been turning a deliberate blind eye to it.
Enter the Electoral Commission - yes, the same Electoral Commission recently embroiled in another scandal concerning a UKIP lookalike on the European election ballot papers. It turns out that this quango, stuffed with usual bien-pensant apparatchiks, is so busy trying to encourage "engagement" - getting people to take part in the voting process - that it prefers not to deal with the less fluffy and more challenging issue of voter fraud.
The Electoral Commission is the body supposed to ensure that all is well with British voting. But if you look at its remit and pronouncements, you will see that it focuses more on engagement than on making votes trustworthy. In a speech in March, its chairman, Jenny Watson, seemed preoccupied with the need to “modernise”. “As a society, we are at risk,” she said clumsily, “of how we ask people to engage with our electoral system… becoming increasingly disconnected from how they interact with both each other and with other institutions, from their banking arrangements to their weekly shop.” The system needed to be “more reflective of the wider society”. She said how nice it would be if people could register to vote on the actual day of the election. She played down issues of fraud. She praised the work of pressure groups, such as Operation Black Vote (OBV), which try to get new voters. She did not praise anyone who checks that registered voters are true ones.
But it's not just the Electoral Commission which is to blame. So too are those police - presumably obeying orders from on high - stood by and watched as the thoroughly illegal voter intimidation took place in Tower Hamlets. So too are the local councillors in Labour-controlled Birmingham. So too is the coalition government, which is said to have been warned four years ago that Operation Trojan Horse was taking place. So too are the three main political parties, all of whom have agreed that dealing with postal-vote is not priority.
And it barely needs spelling out why. Everyone in authority is so afraid of being accused of being "racist" or "Islamophobic" that they have found it easier to sweep the issue under the carpet than confront it. But the problem isn't going to go away. In fact - until someone, somewhere finds the courage to deal with it - it's bound to get an awful lot worse.

I'll be content to consider the Commission's verdict in due course. J Delingpole, of course, has rushed to judgment.

For a clever journalist, JD's technique is classic. ie, dishonest.

Rhetorically, he leads you (thru sentence structure etc) to conclusions that he can't substantiate - yet, if ever.
