MoD INCOMPETENCE AND LABOUR HYPOCRISY

An incompetent pen-pusher in the MOD has issued what amounts to a redundancy notice to serving soldiers, one of whom is said to be on the front line in Afghanistan.  The Lie Factory believes that this sort of incompetence is all too typical of a Civil Service used to Labour's slovenly way of doing things.  Something which Charles Moore highlighted in this recent Spectator article.

This act is to be condemned and I am sure that Defence Secretary Liam Fox will ensure that the useless buffoon that did this will feel his wrath.

However, what leaves a nasty taste in the mouth is this disgusting piece of opportunism from the Labour Party and in particular Fox's shadow Jim Murphy.

This would of course be the same Labour Party who overstretched the armed forces to such an extent that troops had to buy their own kit, had a shortage of helicopters, who denied the Gurkhas the right to reside in the country for which they were fighting and the same party that underfunded the armed forces to such an extent that troops were sitting ducks in useless 'snatch' Land Rovers.

Contemptible.

SALMA'S SELECTIVE SUNDAY PAPER REVIEW

Sparkbrook Councillor - Salma Yaqoob has seized on a piece in the Daily Star Sunday about the G.C holder (that she snubbed) slating the EDL.  The Lie Factory agrees with him, but condemns her for her selective approach to highlighting news stories.

Earlier in the week she was at it again, linking to Birmingham Mail columnist Maureen Messent's denunciation of Martin Mullaney. Messent has long ceased to be a credible figure to Mail readers, her political standpoints going up and down like a Lady of the Night's undergarments.  One week she panders to Birmingham's underbelly of Islamophobia...the next she's talking about the wonderful days she had living in inner-city Birmingham when her neighbours would pass curry and sweets over the garden fence.  

The woman is what she is...a hired rabble-rouser with all the consistency of lumpy porridge.

We digress.

Anyway, the Lie Factory challenges Cllr. Yaqoob to roundly condemn the sort of practices that have been going on in her neck of the woods.  Where innocent children are indoctrinated with a philosophy that says that Hindus drink bovine urine (a hate statement) and that non-believers are nothing other than what you scrape off your shoe.

Over to you Salma.  As a local councillor in an area where some of your constituents' children have been exposed to this vile racism, I look forward to your response.

HOPEFULLY SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN THE GUARDIAN.

THE STUFF THAT SALMA SIMPLY IGNORED

Who said the following in a speech last Saturday?
"It is important to stress that terrorism is not linked exclusively to any one religion or ethnic group. My country, the United Kingdom, still faces threats from dissident republicans in Northern Ireland. Anarchist attacks have occurred recently in Greece and in Italy, and of course, yourselves in Germany were long scarred by terrorism from the Red Army Faction."
Who went on to say?
"... we need to be absolutely clear on where the origins of where these terrorist attacks lie. That is the existence of an ideology, Islamist extremism. We should be equally clear what we mean by this term, and we must distinguish it from Islam. Islam is a religion observed peacefully and devoutly by over a billion people. Islamist extremism is a political ideology supported by a minority."
Indeed it was the Prime Minister.


So why then did Sparkbrook Councillor Salma Yaqoob launch her numerous tirades this week?  After all, Cameron couldn't have been more explicit in his view that terrorism originates from a multitude of sources around the World.  Just why did Cllr. Yaqoob ignore this clearcut declaration that Islam is not the sole cause of terrorist activity around the World?

Simples.  Because she is an extremist, an agitator and a rabble-rouser of the first order.  It appears to the Lie Factory that the politics of division and hatred are so entrenched in Sparkbrook that it wouldn't even be a bad thing if Labour won the seat this May!

Yaqoob's views are extremely dangerous and place harmonious race relations in Birmingham in jeopardy.  The Lie Factory is grateful to the Conservative Muslim Forum for reminding it of the true content of Cameron's landmark speech...you know, the stuff that Salma simply ignored!

NORTHFIELD LABOUR FAILS RESIDENTS...AGAIN.

News reaches the Lie Factory, that Cllr. Ian Cruise (remember him?) and Cllr. Steve Bedser threw their toys of their pram last night after the Northfield Constituency Committee (of which they are members) refused to allow its deliberations to be used for inaccurate political muck-raking and grandstanding by the Labour duo.

Despite the agenda affording an adequate opportunity for local representatives and local residents to use a "soapbox" facility and to raise matters of urgent local concern, Cruise and Bedser stormed out of the meeting which was held in Rednal.  This left the people of Kings Norton and Longbridge without their full complement of councillors contributing to an important agenda.

Bedser and Cruise through their non-appearance showed that they care little for greater community involvement in the delivery of ambulance services in their area.  They showed a distinct disinterest in questioning planning and regeneration officers about the City's 2026 Core Strategy and how it will affect their constituents' lives.

But perhaps the most disgusting aspect of their non-presence was that yet again the Labour Party in Northfield showed that they couldn't give a stuff about the quality of life of their residents.  The Conservatives in Northfield have long made the provision of Neighbourhood Workers a priority when looking at what can be done to keep the constituency clean.  The Constituency committee planned to discuss an extension of this project and to rubber stamp each Ward's contribution towards the employment of these vitally important people.  

The non-presence of Cruise and Bedser was a shocking dereliction of duty. Through their actions they told their residents that they couldn't give a toss whether local neighbourhoods were kept clean.  Bedser of course has "previous" stating in an e-mail to his fellow councillors in January that it wasn't his job to report refuse bag spillage.

Luckily for the people of Longbridge, Weoley and Kings Norton, they have an opportunity to return councillors seriously committed to keeping their wards clean.  Cllrs Keith Barton, Adrian Delaney and Barbara Wood deserve to be returned in May with increased majorities.

SOCIALISTS HAPPY WITH THEIR WARDS BEING RUBBISH TIPS SHOULDN'T PROSPER.






SALMA'S DESPERATE FACE SAVING STUNT

Salma Yaqoob continues to make herself look at complete fool in Birmingham, as this cobbled together response to the Prime Minister's recent condemnation of extreme Islamism shows.

"But we do condemn these people" crows Yaqoob.  Well your average Brummie hasn't seen much evidence of this.  Additionally, David Cameron's carefully chosen remarks have offended the Chairman of Birmingham Central Mosque who is now threatening to sue him.

Isn't it amazing how it has taken a speech by the Prime Minister to mobilise Birmingham's Islamic elite into action.  Their complete silence on Muslim extremism has brought us to the point where we now have to tolerate the lunatics from the English Defence League returning to our city, wreaking havoc at a massive cost to the public purse.  This is in addition to the BNP peddling their warped doctrines amongst the city's working class suburbs.

Yacoob has trodden a very thin line between her own extremism and quasi-moderation since she became politically active in the city, a line that she well and truly crossed last week when she deliberately sought to offend  the moderate mainstream and peaceful population with her disgusting snub to a holder of the George Cross.

The other day she wrote an article for the Guardian on the Cameron speech claiming that she approved of his visit to a Balsall Heath family.  That's funny, I don't remember such graciousness at the time and I doubt others will either.

Cllr. Peter Douglas Osborn summed it up last week when he called Yaqoob an extremist and that is exactly what she is.  She does not believe in integration of the various communities in the city and endorses separate development.  She displays not an ounce of the consensual behaviour nor a shred of the pragmatism needed to be an effective politician in a large city like Birmingham.

Her politics are that of urban balkanisation, of hegemonies and fiefdoms.  Birmingham would be a far better place if she and her fellow Respect agitators left the moderate people of Birmingham (of all races, colours and creeds) to get on with building a city to be proud of.


BIRMINGHAM DOES NOT NEED EXTREMISTS LIKE HER, THE EDL AND THE BNP.

ACOCKS GREEN SOCIALIST'S 4 STAR CHEEK

Referring to its ever increasing market value, the Daily Telegraph asks if Twitter is worth $3.7bn.  The Lie Factory's view is that it is in fact priceless.

Why?

Well, if it were not for Twitter we wouldn't be able to get an insight into the warped logic and hypocrisy of socialists.  Below is an excellent example of this phenomenon.  John O' Shea is a Labour Party activist from Acocks Green and who was the party's candidate in that ward before he was derailed by that runaway train driver Stewart Stacey.  




It appears that Mr. O' Shea is annoyed at the price of fuel in the UK compared to that of parts of continental Europe and predictably he blames George Osborne - despite the fact that he is trying to reverse Labour's 1p per litre rise timed for April.

O'Shea's Labour Party conducted a 13 year war on the motorist between 1997 and 2010.  UK hauliers were driven out of business by its fuel duty hikes and vicious imposition of EU regulations.  British motorists were treated as pariahs by successive Labour Chancellors - hammered at the pumps on the request of the Left's climate change zealots.

When Labour raked in billions in duty it squandered it on pet projects and public sector non-jobs that produced nothing of benefit to the UK.  None of it was used to invest in the UK's infrastructure...just on the jamboree that was the benefits free-for-all which built Labour's client state.

Now of course the money has gone.  Labour's 13 year squander-fest has left the UK potless, yet shameless opportunists such as O'Shea simply take the vinyl off the political turntable and flip the disc over to play a different tune.

He and the Labour Party are beneath contempt.

RESPECT COUNCILLORS ARE UNFIT TO SERVE BIRMINGHAM

So it appears that two Respect Party Councillors for Sparkbrook Ward - the egotistical self-publicist Salma Yaqoob and one of her two lapdogs - couldn't find even an ounce of dignity within themselves to honour a George Cross recipient at this week's meeting of Birmingham City Council.

Yaqoob said that the Council's standing ovation was "false patriotism".  The Lie Factory believes in free speech and won't condemn her for saying this, so it hopes that she and her lapdog won't object to this website putting its point across.

Brave men and women like the man who was treated so disrespectfully by these Respect Councillors are in Afghanistan to prevent the sort of savagery that reared its ugly head again this week.  A young couple shot and stoned by her their own neighbours - directed by the Taliban.




Billions of taxpayers' cash are also spent on a country where there is no oil (so that's that old chestnut dismissed) so that young girls can get an education and fulfill their potential.  British aid is paying to rebuild a nation hampered by poverty and the tyrannical rule of the Taleban.

Up until Tuesday, Yaqoob had the respect of many of her fellow Councillors and the people of Birmingham for her upright stance on voter fraud in the community she represents.  However, in a moment of mindless bigotry she has frittered all this goodwill away.  She and her two henchmen ought to realise that despite their huge majorities, they are also elected to represent those that did not vote for them - people who are appreciative of what their fellow countrymen and women are doing for their country.  This includes people who have embraced the country which allows them to live in freedom and with respect.

To compound their shame on Tuesday, the Respect Councillors were shown how to conduct themselves by Councillors Peter Smallbone and James Bird, two young men who moved a motion calling upon the Council to protect Birmingham's Remembrance Events from cuts made by left-wing council officers ashamed of the pride citizens have for their armed forces.

Thank God there are people like Cllr. Bird and Cllr. Smallbone who are prepared to recognise the sacrifices of our service personnel.  Yaqoob and her minders (including the gormless Mr. Francis who sits up in the Strangers' Gallery) are unfit to sit alongside them in the Council Chamber.

LABOUR CLLR'S GLEEFUL HOUSE PRICE FALL TWEET

Yes, you guessed it...it's "Cruisey"!

As hard-pressed home owners and those with mortgages continue to worry about plummeting house prices, Councillor Ian Cruise has been caught YET AGAIN making light of an extremely serious issue via his Twitter account.

During a Twitter exchange yesterday on the new police.uk website, Cruise couldn't hide his glee at the potential effect such a website could have on house buyer behaviour and house prices.

The emoticon he uses in the final tweet (below) couldn't make his feelings any clearer.

The Lie Factory has written previously about Cruise's inability to adhere to the code of behaviour expected from a Birmingham City Councillor and his latest Twitter shame will dismay many of his ward constituents selling their homes.  

Such as this one here.

Labour need to rein him in...he's a liability.
