I don't understand why the people hanging around near polling stations could not be removed. If they repeatedly cause a problem waste their time in a police station for the rest of polling day. Same goes for leaflets etc in the polling stations. 10 police people per polling station, and find the people to hand out the polling cards from outside the area. After polling is done, take ballot boxes to be counted in Truro. Roll back postal voting to only where you have a good reason and link voting to NI numbers (which I gather is already coming in).
A total and utter lack of backbone within mainstream politics to put a stop to this. Meanwhile we can have a trillion inquiries into what some cabinet minister said, or didn't say to a policeman.

It beggers belief that the politicians whinge on about the recent elections in Crimea and certain parts of Ukraine being illegal, yet here on our doorstep, a certain section of our population exploit the country that gives them housing and work, and act in a manner that is clearly third world, and the politicians just sit on their hands and do f+ck all.
Absolutely agree with both of the above. Sadly, can't see things changing any time soon.
I'll agree with that too. Political Correctness means nothing will change though. 'Cultural Awareness' seems to mean allowing third-world cultural practices to flourish here without scrutiny, for fear of offence.

Disgusting? Yes. Likely to change? No.

I sometimes wonder if some use 'Political Correctness' to hide 'Cowardice'

Ken Livingstone, an outspoken supporter of Mayor Rahman, was on the radio yesterday and his solution to the problem was not to clean up TH politics or crack down on voting fraud, intimidation etc but it was for Rahman to be let back into the Labour party which would then bring various factions together.

Can you imagine if the shoe was on the 'other' foot?

How quickly would the Police have been down there?

The fact that everyone happens to have their collective blinkers on over this is an indictment on how 'equality' and 'multiculturalism' have 'progressed' in this country frown

Now now, we don't want to upset them do we. That wouldn't do at all.

It's just a very sad country now; I hope the 'progressives' are happy now that they have enabled the importation of third world ways into the UK.

The only faint bright spot in that article is that the 'advisor' who wrote the article is a fukking idiot who couldn't find his ass with both hands if bent over. The reason he is paid over £50k per year and that he gets published is down to the colour of his skin and nothing else.

Wtf is the Tower Hamlets First party and how the fk can you have a political party that caters solely for a borough of London? That doesn't sound bent in the slightest!

During a nottingham council meeting with local landlords to discuss HMO legislation, there was a lot of hecklingThroughout the discussion of the plans, members of the public heckled, shouting "you have let down the Asian community" and "you will never get elected in this city again". As if thier ethnicity is relevant to thier being a landlord, of course it isn't, they are exacting near mob rule.
