Some people were advised to leave the count for their own safety from the mob outside.

Be very concerned.

He's disgusting. The people of Rochdale who voted for his divisive, antisemitic narcissism should be ashamed.

WettyBite · 01/03/2024 14:12

That’s his letter to non-Muslims.

Sectarian voting is the future.

Sectarian voting is the future.

He is the embodiment of divisive politics. I can only imagine how a Jewish person would feel having received one of his 'Muslim orientated' leaflets. Intimidated and frightened I would think.

@SameNameNoGain It's disgusting isn't it.

As an aside, there needs to be a serious look at the postal voting system. It's open to wholesale abuse. Should be restricted to those with medical reasons who are unable to turn up in person.

Ginmonkeyagain · 01/03/2024 14:34

The non Muslim letter seems to be very much going for the Red Tory/Reform party vote.

Also surely a bit racist to assume muslims in Rochdale won't care about local issues like reopening the market or the local Maternity unit reopening

Gooseysgirl · 01/03/2024 14:37

He is utterly bonkers, it's very worrying that he has been elected

SameNameNoGain · 01/03/2024 14:47

@TheThingIsYeah

Agreed. Despicable. Yes the postal voting system needs looking at asap; it's ripe for abuse.

marmaladeandpeanutbutter · 01/03/2024 14:53

Leave the fucking voting system alone. You Tories just can't help yourselves, constantly fiddling with it to your best advantage. Take responsibility for why twits like Galloway got in.

TheThingIsYeah · 01/03/2024 14:58

@marmaladeandpeanutbutter

Why, worried what it might unearth?

PS I've never voted Conservative, and have no intention on doing so.

TheLonelyStarbucksLovers · 01/03/2024 15:00

Why on earth would he think he has any sway over what happens thousands of miles away in a conflict that has nothing to do with him?

I bet no one in Tel Aviv has even heard of the man.

Ginmonkeyagain · 01/03/2024 15:01

I think it can be helpful when people like GG get elected - the disinfectant of sunlight and all that.

TBH if a few UKIP MPs had been elected in 2010/2015 we probably woudn't be lumbered with Brexit now.

gingergran · 01/03/2024 15:04

@TheLonelyStarbucksLovers because he is an arrogant ignoramus who thinks the sun shines out his a*se!

He has brought disrepute to the whole cat population too - I’m sure they don't want to be associated with him

What makes you think that there was postal voting fraud here? The results aren’t a surprise to anyone, there’s no suggestion of electoral fraud.

tobee · 01/03/2024 15:25

Well there have been suggestions from Richard Tice for what that's worth.

IamaRevenant · 01/03/2024 15:40

I feel like I have some form of PTSD from that scene, I get distressing flashbacks every time the man's name is mentioned 🤢

(I do have diagnosed PTSD btw, and am kind of joking).

He's also a total useless cock of a person and a politician.

LlynTegid · 01/03/2024 15:40

The increase in postal voting all of a sudden is something that should be investigated.

Ahh yes - if only we had thought of just stopping the war. You should send that plan to the UN. I am sure they will be pleased with the insight.

The90 · 01/03/2024 16:15

Why are some Jews living in the UK feeling so hard done by when people in Gaza are being mullered?
you’ve solved bigotry, no one can complain about being attacked, threatened, intimidated, vile threats etc because there is always something worse happening in the world, job done.

Sorry? Who are you calling a tory? No Tories live here.

Why would you not want the postal system to be looked at, if there are suggestions of wrong doing?

In Rochdale, the Muslim vote mainly. His campaign letters were entirely different depending on if they were sent to a Muslim or non-Muslim household.
To the Muslims he stated he is going to sort out the Palestine and Israel conflict.
To non-Muslims he mentioned that he has no problem defining what a woman is, and about sorting out the housing crisis amongst other things.

😱😡

Parrotseatthemall · 01/03/2024 16:52

A lot of us can feel marginalised by lots of things, whatever our background but we are equal in the UK when it comes to free speech and the choice to live here in relative harmony. I'm not religious but have a live and let live attitude to those who are. You can build your places of worship and pray to your own God here but you need to adopt tolerance to fit in, wherever you're from. Life is far from perfect but we are lead to believe people come here to escape torture or worse from their own country. We need to live together with respect and understanding from all ways..so it means you may need to dial down your upheld beliefs
