Sadiq Khan

[Davy]

Seems there is an ex Police detective on child prostitution. Jon Wedger come out exposing Sadiq Khan (and others) cover up of rape gangs. Video and info online

I've seen Wedger on a few things on YaTube regarding police corruption.

It's naive to think that rape gangs were not at work in London.

Hopefully some digging will be done and the victims get some justice.

If half of what he says is true a lot of heads should roll. But who is going to investigate when the top dogs in the Police and government may be the ones hiding it

Don't know about this Khan stuff but how an enquiry is run when the whole state apparatus is in the dock is a major problem.

Do we need international oversight?

If you look at how London was when he was appointed to Mayor to how it is now...

Its astounding how that guy is incharge still

The real reason is though that Muslims generally all vote the same...and they keep voting the Muslim mayor that lets more and more arrive.

I'm not making it up either...historically Muslims are like a voting block.

10 seconds research....

No, London Muslims do not all vote the same way. The Muslim community in London, like Muslims across the UK, is diverse and does not vote in unison or en bloc. While some areas of London have significant Muslim populations, such as Kensington and Putney, which could be influenced by the Muslim electorate , individual voting decisions are shaped by a range of personal, political, and local factors rather than a single religious identity. Research and commentary emphasize that Muslims are divided along political, ethnic, and sectarian lines, and their voting behavior reflects this diversity. For instance, some Muslim voters may prioritize issues like the cost of living, housing, and the NHS, while others may be particularly concerned about the Gaza conflict. The idea of a monolithic "Muslim vote" is considered misleading, as Muslims are not a homogenous bloc and often make independent choices based on candidates' track records and policies.

Does London not have a lot of Hindus as well? There is also quite a few East Indian Christians around East Ham area, though much smaller in numbers

Mmmm, AI being AI there it reads like.

Labour could historically rely on a 'Muslim vote' - not everyone of course, but 80% or so. Electoral fraud and bloc votes provided by 'community leaders' were also involved, including in London.

Since the arrival of 'gaza independents' things have changed, and it appears to be Jeremy Corbyn's plan to capitalise on this. Certainly something Labour candidates in seats affected need to be conscious of.

Tower Hamlets was particularly bad vmfor voter fraud even way back when I lived there in the early 90's.

I'm sure it will be no worse than the traditional UK religious folks traditionally voting the way they do.

There's a fair point in there. Labour used to depend heavily on the catholic vote. Along with the working class vote this was abandoned and now needs replaced, so...

Not sure there are previous patterns of vote rigging though - perhaps there are, but i dont know of them - or the relationship ending in the emergence of explicitly sectarian politics.

As they say, 'some things stay the same, some things are completely fckn different'.

It seems odd, to me, that this article by the University of Exeter didn't even mention the Muslim/Hindu etc representation when writing about last years GE. Maybe covered in the detail of the research but insignificant enough not to include in the piece.

So what are you saying? Protestants never voted Labour? Gies a brek

No. Try not to emulate the wokist response to things P.

Of course they did; but Catholics did, reliably,
recognisably, as a bloc. Just as the working class constituted a labour bloc. In other words those demographics were hugely tilted to labour. One reason the Catholic vote was important because it was clustered around the high density of seats in Scotland that were key to labour.

Blair lost those people to the SNP, whose parents and grandparents would have been very sceptical of the party. Lost them in England to.

Protestants encompassed the lions share of the British population and therefore everybody's vote - though again groupable in other ways such as class. (Though in England and Wales things like Methodists voting Labour would be a pattern)

Does seem somewhat honky in focus. Notes the Catholic loss for labour i mentioned.

Tories benefit from high levels of hindu support in places I believe.
