Al-Respeq candidate arrested

[Fullyplumped]

I'm not sure it's exactly gloating. But right now this is a young man of 35 with a family, who has died suddenly. His personal and political mis-judgements we should leave to another day and maybe we'd be better praying for his soul, if that's our thing, and sympathising with his family. It's only politics, for goodness sake - nothing important.

Perhaps it could be the last time we see the unfunny Al- joke, which amuses none but the easily amused.

it's not revolution, it's RAVEolution. it's going to be more fun than anyone ever imagined. and the process has already been set in motion... people are linking up with each other. the times they are a-changing, this time it is for real, 2012 and all that.

Word.

yawn

it's ages since i've been in the politics forums and it's just the same argument going on and on and on and on and on. respect- twats or not? whatever. they are very nice people who have some misguided ideas about how to get what they want (which is still what almost everyone on here wants- a better society for everyone) particularly this obsession they have with muslims.. it's all a bit strange and ridiculous looking at it from here.

i used to be in the SWP and i had a good time, thought i was making a difference and that. it was nice to feel part of something anyway. but then they got involved with galloway and all that bollocks and i just lost interest. started going to parties and taking drugs instead.

now it's all happening for real- in the next 10 years or so. people are looking for it in the wrong place though. it's not revolution, it's RAVEolution. it's going to be more fun than anyone ever imagined. and the process has already been set in motion... people are linking up with each other. the times they are a-changing, this time it is for real, 2012 and all that.

and the capitalists? well for the most part they're just ordinary people with a lot of wrong ideas in their heads. they know about having fun though. everyone likes to have fun don't they?

That post makes me want to be sick.

daft as a brush that whole 'statement'
yes, i like drugs too, don't delude myself as to their effects though

The Tory-Lab-Respeq Moslem Community Leader-Businessman has escaped sentence by dying - the cunning bastard!

Riddle of poll cheat's death

Anyway, the minor mystery of what he'd been in prison for has now been cleared up:

The former community worker failed to declare he had served three prison terms totalling 11 months since 2003 – one for heroin and cocaine possession and two for driving offences.​

The record's stuck.

ROFLMAO......

Come mk12 you know you like poppin' the pills for the RAVEolution.......

 

[Aldebaran]

But he insists on using the word Mohammedan, which is offensive to some people for theological reasons, and he knows better.

The only effect he gets is painting himself constantly as a stubborn fool who freely chose to be an idiot.
Not that it comes as a surprize

salaam.

Proposed new thread title:

salaam.

He's pulled the dying stunt before, has he?

No. Why would I rejoice at the druggy Mozzy grocer escaping sentence? I don't.

Now, if he had served his sentence and then decided to top himself, I might not have objected, but it's too late for that.

Edit: Salami!

There was a joke there? Goodness, I must start paying more attention.

 

[Dhimmi]

No one is guilty of 'fraud'. These cases are about making an incorrect declaration about their eligibility for office. The worst that can happen is that they are disqualified if elected.

So why was it being reported there was a possibility of a jail sentence?

These are important issues of regulation and candidacy but there is no suggestion that either Respect or the Greens are behaving fraudulently.

Other than it being reported as election fraud...

 

[Fisher_Gate]

Other than it being reported as election fraud...

Making an untrue declaration - not the same thing though the press don't distinguish. The courts had already ruled that the election should not be re-run.

Anyway you need to ask the SWP about why it turned out this way, not me - it was their member who was his election agent but they no longer communicate with the rest of Respect.

Do you think the ISG or anyone else in al-Respeq was more scrupulous than the Social Workers over the selection of candidates? It seems from the report following his death that this man might have had some support in his 'community'. That's just the sort of candidate al-Respeq chooses: a Muslim man.

Frankly, the Social Workers seem to be slightly less prone to do that than the other faction. The Social Workers thought that their own hacks should be selected here and there. They got really upset when Brummy Mozzies chose a slate full of Mozzies, with not a single Social Worker.

Are the ISG going to be less craven than the Social Workers? I doubt it - and even if they were, there're so few ISGers that it'll make bugger all difference.

So did John Stonehouse, what's your point?

 

[TAE]

That isn't racist, because being a Muslim isn't a racial, national or ethnic group, but it's something-ist, and it is an offensive stereotype.

Unless he meant "only someone from respect's target group would have been selected despite previously having stood for the Tories".

But he insists on using the word Mohammedan, which is offensive to some people for theological reasons, and he knows better.

It's only deemed offensive because it is claimed that people who use this word think that followers of islam worship the guy.

Candidate arrested

A member of the Respect party, which campaigns against electoral fraud, has been arrested on suspicion of making a false declaration about his eligibility to stand in elections.​

So ... what was the false declaration. Did he claim to have no criminal record?

 

[JHE]

So did John Stonehouse, what's your point?

The Stonehouse stunt was quite different. The body was not found.

Al-Respeq's druggy Tory businessman has genuinely died.

 

[JHE]

So ... what was the false declaration. Did he claim to have no criminal record?

Not all crim records would disqualify you, AFAIK.

The al-Respeq candidate, however, claimed to be eligible to stand despite being ineligible to stand due to his (three) prison sentences.

So why the "faking his death" quip then?

Not my words. You should learn about the proper use of quotation marks, Ninot. Have a look at the BBC's Skillswise site. There's a good lad.

Shove your advice up your arse, you patronising cunt. You have an unhealthy obsession with Islam and anything that resembles it. It would seem that you're the one who needs remedial help. Your brain is like a tape loop. Off you go.

How very clever of you to notice that I was patronising you!

Whereas you aren't so clever to produce a reply like this.

Transparent as fuck.

I think you're right Nino.

I stand corrected. Still, he is like a tape loop.

Mark E Smith once sang the line "His brain is like a tape loop" in the song Middlemass (Slates EP). Rather apposite in this case, I feel.

Ah, more of the auld schtick. Change the fucking record why don't you? Or are you just a tape loop?

Oh, here is again, he of the tape loop brain.

You know something baudouin? You're a boring fucker...and you know something else? You've got a mind like a tape loop.

As Mark E. Smith of The Fall said "His mind is like a tape loop".

As Mark E Smith once said and it sums you up nicely "His mind is like a tape loop".
