  3. Could Labour Party have not chosen a better female, Bangladeshi candidate to represent the constituency? She seems quite incompetent, more so than many MP's ? ! https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/national/19470166.labour-mp-trial-housing-fraud-weeps-describes-fleeing-family-home/ Labour MP on trial for housing fraud weeps as she describes fleeing family home By Press Association 2021 26th July Apsana Begum A Labour MP accused of housing fraud wept in court as she described the “traumatic” moment she called police and fled her family home after an argument with her brother during which he claimed she was possessed. Apsana Begum, 31, who is on trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court, said she went to a police station on May 21 2013 out of fear she could become the victim of honour-based violence after her brother followed her to work. On the same day, the Poplar and Limehouse MP said an argument erupted at her family home in east London when her brother locked her in the living room. She said: “He told me he wanted me to see an imam because I wasn’t registering their concern about (her partner) Ehtashamul (Haque). “He thought I was possessed and said he wanted me to get checked. “I refused and said I’m not under a spell, this is my choice and I just wanted them to support me. But he started reciting the Koran. He had his hand over my head. “I started shouting for my mum but she wasn’t responding. I didn’t know what was going to happen next. “I thought he might beat me up.” Begum said she managed to call 999 and when officers arrived she fled with only her handbag. A court clerk passed Begum tissues as she said she had to collect her belongings which her family had placed in black bin bags outside their house on Woodstock Terrace. Giving evidence on Monday wearing a white shirt and grey headscarf, Begum told the jury her Bangladeshi-heritage family disapproved of her relationship with Mr Haque, who is now a Tower Hamlets councillor. Begum met Mr Haque while doing a community leadership post-graduate diploma. He was seven years older and had been married twice before, and her family did not see him as a suitable match for her. She denies three counts of housing fraud for allegedly withholding information about her living circumstances to jump the queue for a council house between January 2013 and March 2016. Tower Hamlets Council, which is bringing the prosecution, alleged it cost the local authority £63,928. Begum is accused of not notifying the council that she was no longer living in overcrowded accommodation – as she claimed when she applied for social housing – after she moved in with Mr Haque. She claims she rang the council to notify it for council tax purposes and believed it would share the information. She said it was a period of “turmoil” due to the breakdown of her relationship with her family and having lost her father months before. Begum also claims Mr Haque was “controlling and coercive” and had taken over her “matters and affairs”. “We had started a new life together – it wasn’t easy but it’s what we had chosen. He said he would tell everyone,” she added. During an interview with the council’s fraud investigations team on January 21 2020, a transcript of which was read out in court, she said: “I was going through a lot of turmoil at the time, escaping from an abusive situation and later on realising he (Mr Haque) was very, very abusive. “He told me he was handling my matters and affairs. He had my details, bank details, he was making transfers and all that.” In response to evidence that her account had been making bids for houses while she was known to be living with Mr Haque, she denied making the bids and said: “I’m shocked to see these records.” Asked if the bids could have been made by Mr Haque, Begum said: “It must have been him. He had access to the accounts.” Last week, Begum’s defence lawyer Helen Law said investigators failed to “join the dots”, including that the complaint about her applications in 2019 was made by a relative of Mr Haque, Sayed Nahid Uddin. She said she split with Mr Haque after he cheated on her in mid-2016. She added that she had also become concerned that he had a drinking problem. In November 2016, Begum called police to report that Mr Haque had been following her from her workplace in his car, after constantly calling and texting her. The prosecution says Begum attempted to gain social housing at first by claiming she lived in an overcrowded three-bedroom house with her family and did not have a bedroom of her own, which made her a higher priority in the queue. However, according to a social housing application made in 2009 by Begum’s aunt, the house had four bedrooms. Begum insists there were only three when she lived there. Prosecutor James Marsland claimed she “must have had a good understanding of the social housing system and how it operated” because she worked for Tower Hamlets Homes (THH), a public organisation working with the council to arrange social housing, between October 28 2013 and August 3 2016. The MP, who sits on the Commons Education Committee, entered Parliament with a 28,904 majority in the 2019 election.

  4. That's where the US has got it right. You get caught out like that, you're going down hard. Probably getting your 'cheeks split' inside too. Here..........God knows what these degenerates are thinking. People stopping the pedo rapists get longer sentences than the nonces. Hell, even the queen's son looks like he's in that gang. My mom would f**k me off over a lot less than pedophilia, this old bag is protecting him. What kind of message is that sending to the english people? I think the phrase is: 'burying our heads in the sand (like an ostrich), not hands. First, like Gurjant said, it's ILLEGAL. And what were the police doing all those years the groomers were rampant? Stupid crap, like arresting black boys for selling £15 bags of sukha. What kind of priorities is that? I remember growing up, getting pulled up by police (okay I was bunking school), but they'd be grown ups in cars parked outside girls schools! I think it's a lot more complicated than what you say anyway. Plenty of girls who've had 'good upbringings' get caught out. So many of them act all coy, but the first minute they get an opportunity (like say at university) it's full on sl@g mode. Sometimes all the closeted upbringing is what gets them into trouble in the first place. They finally meet males unsupervised and have absolutely no clue about any potential dangerous situations they put themselves in. Then their <banned word filter activated> girlfriends don't even advise them properly, giggling along and encouraging them. We are humans, unless we're taught about attraction, potential dangers and other important stuff, we go into the world unprepared. And back in the day - no parents would talk about these things to young girls, it was taboo. I blame conservatism on our communities part for a big part of this. You got gullible females, hormones blazing, let loose like lambs to a slaughter. Plus lots of them have low IQs. Perfect situation for predators.

  5. @dallysingh101 Shouldn't put our hands under the sand. Underage is wrong, but i know some make their own choice then regret later. Others out of their free will. Punjabi culture for you. There is choice and choosing the right path our community doesn't make those right choices. Starts from upbringing imo

  6. Is it true though in Canada. Heard there are cases where they'd been after Sikhs and inner fighting..but not as bad as UK. Canada Punabi culture is something else. Either conservative Sikhi or Liberalism.

  7. They're good at gaslighting us. They write these articles/tweets like 'Sikh terrorism/ radicals in Sikhs' spreads like wildfire esp with these rw goras and hindvastas. Best is just not to waste time and energy with them. Stop engaging with Bal. Put the energy focus on Sikhi which they want to destroy. Best revenge imo.

  8. I did ask WSO ...no reply. There's absolutely no way that he can get away with it. No other community will stand this. Seriously like i know Sikhs in Canada are successful, they seriously need to make this po# gora broke! Its not amazon, its the publishing company which I think is Indian (surprise surprise) based need to be sued or take his dirty a## to court.

  9. Fully agree. I'd sue amazon too just to lose but make headlines. I'd hold the real court in the press. Courtroom would just be another podium.

  10. There appears to be a culture of protecting sexual predators going all the way to the top here. Plenty of Sikh guys have battled this. They've been given disproportionate prison sentences, been put on gang and extremist lists. Police, media, government itself and social services seem to be complicit. Even indigenous working class white girls were abused on industrial scales here........ Be careful in Canada, it might be like you describe now, but these pedos will slowly work their way in after identifying the vulnerable/susceptible in the community. Don't think it can't happen there. They rely on complacency. You have to be eagle eyed and sharp. These guys are usually deranged sociopaths too, so they'll stoop to whatever low level they require. Another problem we had here for decades (and still do to) is politically correct and sycophantic people within our own community playing it down and attacking people who were combatting it. That all being said, awareness and organisation within the UK panth about this, is better than ever. We've disrupted it. But everyone here should be extra vigilant now. Lockdown helped keep predators at bay for a while, but now things are opening up again, expect them to be up to their old tricks. Because of the political situation here, they are less likely to target gorian now, and focus on other communities, like ours.

  13. She's not incompetent but quite clever to be able to get around the housing rules. The Establishment seems desperate to put in Muslims in all forms of govts regardless of whether they are deserving or not. And this is the result. It'll only get worse if they're allowed to continue on this path of 'equality' (though they still reserve positions of power through their secret societies) reservations in all but name that have been disastrous for the Indian economy.

  16. Most other news sources are controlled by the 6 conglomerates. Hence why none has published on the antics of CM of West Bengal. So this is one of the few that isn't. Though I can agree the article was unnecessarily critical. But this is the sort of stuff that goes on today. Perhaps people are more sensitive on the divisive politics currently being played. Plus there are genuine attempts by nefarious people to break India up to again allow control to stop it becoming a world power.
