The fucking state of some the ignorant fools on this thread, full of self-loathing and desperate to show off how 'tolerant' they are, that they will justify and support anything, especially far-right Islamism (and far-right Islamist men in particular). Disgusting.
This man and his goons, and others like him, seem to have been targeting other political candidates, especially the female ones.
For those with poor comprehension skills, let's look at the reporting :

Shabana Mahmood said masked men had disrupted a community meeting, "terrifying" people in attendance.
There was a notable police presence during counts in Birmingham where both women were candidates, with the West Midlands force confirming it was investigating several complaints lodged in the run-up to polling day.
She then recounted how during the campaign a community activist went out to canvass with her, but was filmed by people in the street and had her car's tyres slashed.
"A young woman on her own delivering leaflets was filmed and screamed at by a much older man in the street," she said.
She thanked West Midlands Police for taking "constant" phone calls from her.
As police officers lined the stage as she spoke overnight, Ms Mahmood shared that physical threats had been reported to police, whom she thanked for going "above and beyond to ensure a safe and secure election".
Baroness Shaista Gohir, who leads the national charity Muslim Women's Network UK, told BBC Radio WM: “I’ve been really concerned observing what has been happening to the female candidates in areas where you have a significant Muslim electorate.
“Men have also experienced abuse, but it was much greater for women - they are seen as easy targets, they have been intimidated, harassed and that’s really concerning.
“It’s almost to try to put them off from politics, it’s also sending a message to women not to get into politics."
A spokesperson for West Midlands Police said a number of police officers were stationed at polling stations across Birmingham on Thursday to "offer reassurance and ensure public safety".
They said: "Our officers are aware of a number of incidents leading up to the election where people have reported criminal damage and harassment, and we are carrying out inquiries to identify those responsible."
Masked men. Slashed tyres. Screaming at women. Police outside polling stations and during the vote counts. All of which will have also intimidated constituents and caused some to not vote or vote differently out of fear and anxiety. It is a brazen attack on British democracy.
But..... But.... But.... Boris and Farage and Reform.... wahhhhh.... Bad men..... Oh fuck off. I don't recall these shenanigans from anyone in the Conservative or Reform parties during elections.
