Tom Watson Named Deputy Leader Of Labour Party : Unique Opportunity For Sikhs

[Balkaar]

Jeremy Corbyn, a reluctant leader

Lol, I'm even happier to hear that he's reluctant. A good politician should be a martyr, taking the job because they have to, not because they want to.

Billy Connolly sums it up best - "the desire to be a politician should bar you for life from ever becoming one". Unrealistic of course, but something to ponder.

I agree with you guys abour Corbyn. Like Balkaar, I've never voted because I've been so dissillusioned by the system but this man Corbyn stands for something. Finally a man of actual substance. I will vote this time.

Regarding Tom Watson as the deputy leader, this is possibly the greatest opportunity worldwide Sikhs have had in 50 years to actually achieve something. Never have we had a better friend in such a high position. This man will stand up for Sikhs against India with great passion. I think the first step should be to ensure that those 2 hindu punjabis (Sharma and Malhotra in Southall and Hounslow respectively) that were forced upon the local Sikhs, should be de-selected by Labour Party HQ and Sikh candidates put up instead. I'm feeling very very optimistic about the whole thing.

I'm not sure displacing Sharma and replacing him with a Gursikh will be that easy. He's been our MP for eight years and in that time he's managed to secure the undying loyalty of those fuddus in the Singh Sabha Gurdwara Committee (as well as other Southall big boys), who invariably exercise their malign influence on his behalf come the elections.

Ah but Balkaar you're forgetting the real story behind yesterday's news: John McDonnell, corbyn's right hand man. Thats why I made this thread, I am actually genuinely really excited about the prospects for we Sikhs and our cause. Waheguru works in such a beautiful mysterious way we will always be in awe of what he does.

Let me put it this way: 2 days ago we (Sikhs) were doing what we always do; desperately trying to get people, authorities, governments and institutions to listen to us. There were however just 2 backbench minor MPs without any power that always listened to us and were always extremely vocal and supportive of our struggle for human rights in India and independance from India. Those 2 minor backbench MPs were Tom Watson of West Bromwich and John McDonnell of Hayes. And then yesterday Waheguru does something quite incredible. Honestly it is so incredible I can't even articulate just how wonderous his glory is. Yesterday, Tom Watson became the Deputy Leader of the shadow government and that in itself is incredible news for us. Really incredible. But Waheguru's beauty didn't stop there. There is a another, even more important aspect to this news. You see the real power behind Jeremy Corbyn is the man who got him there and that man is none other than John McDonnell, the MP for Hayes (in case you non-Londoners are wandering, Hayes is right next to Southall and whilst Southall's character and make-up has become less Sikh over the last decade it is Hayes that is the real Sikh town of west London as it is where most of the exlies from Southall moved to). The quality newpapers today have been full of articles about how John McDonnell is the real power behind any Corbyn govt / shadow govt. Isn't this amazing ? The 2 men that have been and are the most vocal supporters of a Khalistan and anti-India are now potentially 2 of the most powerfull men in the nation. Waheguru !!! :respect:

Now, going back to your point about Sharma : As you know, John McDonnell knows more than anyone just what a useless MP Sharma is. They are neighbouring MPs and John McDonnell has over the years gladly stood up for the concerns of the Sikhs in neighbouring Southall because Southall's MP Sharma doesn't, much to the annoyance of Sharma. Trust me, Sharma's days are numbered. Both Watson and McDonnell are on public record as saying that Sikhs have not had proper representation in the Labour party.

As far as I'm concerned Friday 11th September 2015 was the day that Waheguru performed an unbeleivable miracle for the Sikhs. The trouble is, 90% of the Sikhs are in such a deep sleep they don't even know what has been handed to them. Friday 11th September 2015 will go down in history as the day that marked the beginning of India's fall. A black day indeed for India. On that day, a Pakistani critic of India's human rights record was named as the candidate for Mayor of the earth's capital city: London and 2 men that, from afar, have been criticising India as a rogue nation and supporting the Sikhs right to sperate from it were named as potenially 2 of the 3 most powerfull men of a nation with a permanent seat at the UN Security Council. Friday 11th September 2015 is the day that India soiled it's pants.

Great news Tom Watson is indeed a friend of the Sikhs and we should be gearing up to help Tom to get to the truth of what David cameron and his conservatives have tried to hide since the reports came out last year of evil margret thatcher helping her Indian counterpart witch indira gandhi and Indian govt in various schemes targetting the Sikhs nation in order to sell more weapons, military training and economic trade relationships.

We need full disclosure of british establishment involvement in operation blue star 1984 pre and after also.

We also need full disclosure of all the files that were transfered to the commonwealth office to be arhiceved forever possibilty under the secret 100year rule and / or destroyed (if so then on whose authority?)

We need a revolution in the thinking of British Sikhs and it starts at the lands and hands of the royal family / banking elitest oppressor who pays of the indian politicans / miltiary generals via swiss bank accounts.

I don't mean to sound like a pessimist but we should wait and see how things go. It's nice to see that Sikhs may get a chance but power may change people. Maybe not Tom and Jeremy but celebrating a little too early is a little premature. For now we should just assume we won a battle :D not the war.

Don't get too happy about labour. Labour were in charge in Rotherham while they allowed Pakistani grooming gangs to carry out abuse for over a decade.

They will still play vote bank politics when it suits them.

Yes he has been, Sikhs have a unique opperunity to get truth, justice and freedom now that new labour has been kicked into history and the real labour party has come on the scene.

It's time British Sikhs stepped up to the mark and get involved in politics to ensure the Sikh voice is heard louder than ever and pro-Sikh polities are implemented.
