"Star Tory candidate plotted with race thugs to stage fake EDL demo in cynical bid to win votes"
...

AA: Say look, here’s the solution for you. In your area, here’s the guy. If he gets to Parliament he’s going to work with all of us.

TR: Who’s going to set up the meeting and where?

AA: We’ll do all that.

TR: So that’s not going to be booked under the Conservative name then?

AA: We’ll see about that. I’ve have to see the chairman tomorrow and we’ll see what we think’s the best way of doing that. So even if it’s called a community group or whatever. ...We’ve got a couple of weeks of planning…

SE: So the EDL benefits from this in what way?

AA: You get a strong, unshakeable ally, who will ring you and people you want to – whose voices you want to see heard into the mainstream...

You will have meetings with other MPs, with Ministers, all sorts of other people involved in the Parliamentary system. Because obviously there’s journalists, there’s think-tanks, there’s all sorts of things. The issues that we will share amongst ourselves [we will promote]. But my ambition goes well beyond being an MP.

TR: Where do you think you can get?

AA: I think I can get to the top.

SE: So you’re aiming for Cameron’s seat then?

AA: To go from Smethwick to Sandhurst is a massive jump. As far as I know I’m more or less the only person that managed it.

Was he working this out alone or was anyone else in the loop?

It's actually a Mail on Sunday expose not a Daily Mail one.

'wtaf was he thinking?'

Amazing. The arrogance and entitlement and delusion to think that this could be pulled off and the subversion of our system

"You will have meetings with other MPs, with Ministers, all sorts of other people involved in the Parliamentary system. Because obviously there’s journalists, there’s think-tanks"

Where on earth did he get the idea from? What made him think that such things were possible?
