Whilst he's in Oldham he should do something useful and rund up a few thousand of the illegals. If he had the balls (not Ed, either) to do that I'd have a lot more respect for him.
That would be a vote-winner, for sure. Sadly not in Oldham tho'. (Interesting that it is such a Labour stronghold.)

Half the town is Pakistani or Bangladeshi.
Large number of cotton workers brought in to fill the mills after the war.
Serious gerrymandering of wards to ensure it stays a labour area too.
Oldham East and Saddleworth.
Saddleworth, low density high value housing, mainly white middle class area.
Oldham East (Glodwick, Clarksfield, Derker) High density, mainly asian population.
Geographically link?? Very Tenuously.
Way to go to negate the saddleworth vote though.
