Yakoob is claiming that he has quit as the family solicitor (if he ever really was), rather than him being dismissed.
But the new video probably made him realise he'd hitched his wagon to the wrong horse.

Not surprising, as police forces are usually mainly preoccupied by cajoling officers in having to work the least possible. |

Disgusting comment. Volunteers, some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, came out on their off days as they wanted to get involved in politics. They found themselves followed harassed, young women forced to hide in cars surrounded by men shouting at them. And you imply it’s their fault. They brought it on themselves. You’re disgusting. |

Labour have long turned a blind eye to this sort of politics, those of us who remember the campaigns of 2003, 2004, several nasty by-elections at the local level and in Hodge Hill, 2010 in Hall Green have all seen this before. Now its on the other foot, suddenly it's all an issue and suddenly, the police who've ignored and dismissed every electoral complaint even when election courts have said otherwise are in the wrong. There are lots of decent people in Birmingham Labour and no election should be fought like this, but this is nothing new, it's just happening to your party on a large scale. Now who is disgusting? |

So because one side does it, it's OK for the other side to? You're original comment seemed to suggest this and didn't put you in a good light, though you have qualified things since. The original comment is the kind that both sides can use as an excuse for torture, if you take it to an extreme.
I know you didn't mean that, but unfortunately you didn't originally qualify your quip, with a statement saying you didn't want either side to do it, instead your statement seems to excuse it. Hence the response you got.

Most Labour activists genuinely aren't aware of how their party encouraged and developed these tactics. It's not just turning a blind eye to your own side, it's just that its prevalent among certain communities. I've seen it with postal voting. Most Labour activists (and to be fair most Tory activists with limited experience of inner city campaigning, which is most of them) genuinely believe there's no issue with postal voting fraud. The Galloway by-elections and the Gaza independents are starting to change that a bit, as we're seeing here. |

If the most recent instance you can come up with is in 2010, then this may not mean as much to edgbaston as it does to you or me (and even back then other people were at it too) Some of the anti-Labour campaigning this year in Muslim areas was totally disgraceful, and has no justifying by what may have happened previously. |

I find the break up of the Labour / Muslim alliance of convenience very amusing. It is only going to get worse for your lot but you well and truly deserve it. |

I find the break up of the Labour / Muslim alliance of convenience very amusing. It is only going to get worse for your lot but you well and truly deserve it. I don't know, it's got lots of life in it yet. The alliance tends to operate on a local level and only matters when the Muslim population is homogenous enough to vote as a bloc and large enough to affect elections, and it tends to breaks down when the Muslim population gets large enough to take local power. With the growing Muslim population nationwide, while there are a few places that are likely to tip into the latter category there are plenty more where the Muslim population is tipping from insignificant to significant and the postal vote totals will mysteriously quickly climb. |
