Labour Party embroiled in race row after candidate told she was 'too
white and Jewish' to be selected

Row: Elaina Cohen, pictured in 2001, claims she was told she was 'too
white and Jewish' to be selected as a Labour candidate in Birmingham
The Labour Party has become embroiled in a race row after a
prospective female councillor was allegedly told she was 'too white
and Jewish' to be selected.
Elaina Cohen claims that Labour councillor Mahmood Hussain said he
would not support her application for an inner-city ward because 'my
Muslim members don't want you because you are Jewish'.
Mrs Cohen, 50, has made an official complaint about the alleged
remarks made by Mr Hussain, a Muslim and former lord mayor of
Birmingham.
She said: 'I am shocked and upset that a member of the Labour Party in
this day and age could even think something like that, let alone say
it.
'People should not be allowed to make racist comments like that. If
someone in the party feels I cannot represent them because of my
colour or religion, that's ridiculous.
'I felt particularly aggrieved because I have worked across all
sections of the community, particularly with the Muslim section, and
have been on official visits to Pakistan.'
Mrs Cohen had applied to stand as a Labour councillor for the
Birmingham ward of East Handsworth and Lozells, which has a high Asian
and Afro-Caribbean population.
As one of Labour's safest seats on Tory-led Birmingham city council,
the final candidate would be almost certain of victory at the June 4
by-election.
But when Mrs Cohen telephoned 57-year-old Mr Hussain for his support,
she was astonished to be told that she was too 'white and Jewish' to
be considered.
Lorraine Briscoe, who runs a local community association, was sitting
next to Mrs Cohen when the conversation took place on speakerphone
last Tuesday.
'I was disgusted that a councillor could make comments like that in
2009,' she said.
'He told her, "They will not vote for someone who is white and Jewish.
My Muslim members don't want you because you are Jewish".
'Elaina then asked him if he had talked to his Muslim members about it
and he said, "I don't want to talk about it with you" and hung up.
'Elaina does a lot of good work in this community and she does not see
race or religion, she just sees people.'
Two days after the alleged conversation, Mrs Cohen and another
candidate were rejected by a pre-selection panel after failing to gain
the support of the local party.
Instead, members were presented with one candidate, black South
African Hendrina Quinnen, who was selected by an almost unanimous
vote.
Mrs Cohen has now sent an official complaint to Labour Party general
secretary Ray Collins and Birmingham city council accusing Mr Hussain
of improper conduct.
Mr Hussain said yesterday: 'I would not make those sort of comments.
The allegations are not true.'

Thought police muscle up in BritainFont Size: Decrease Increase Print Page:

Article from:  The Australian 
BRITAIN appears to be evolving into the first modern soft totalitarian
state. As a sometime teacher of political science and international law, I
do not use the term totalitarian loosely.
There are no concentration camps or gulags but there are thought police
with unprecedented powers to dictate ways of thinking and sniff out heresy,
and there can be harsh punishments for dissent. 
Nikolai Bukharin claimed one of the Bolshevik Revolution's principal tasks
was "to alter people's actual psychology". Britain is not Bolshevik, but a
campaign to alter people's psychology and create a new Homo britannicus is
under way without even a fig leaf of disguise. 
The Government is pushing ahead with legislation that will criminalise
politically incorrect jokes, with a maximum punishment of up to seven
years' prison. The House of Lords tried to insert a free-speech amendment,
but Justice Secretary Jack Straw knocked it out. It was Straw who
previously called for a redefinition of Englishness and suggested the
"global baggage of empire" was linked to soccer violence by "racist and
xenophobic white males". He claimed the English "propensity for violence"
was used to subjugate Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and that the English as
a race were "potentially very aggressive". 
In the past 10 years I have collected reports of many instances of
draconian punishments, including the arrest and criminal prosecution of
children, for thought-crimes and offences against political correctness. 
Countryside Restoration Trust chairman and columnist Robin Page said at a
rally against the Government's anti-hunting laws in Gloucestershire in
2002: "If you are a black vegetarian Muslim asylum-seeking one-legged
lesbian lorry driver, I want the same rights as you." Page was arrested,
and after four months he received a letter saying no charges would be
pressed, but that: "If further evidence comes to our attention whereby your
involvement is implicated, we will seek to initiate proceedings." It took
him five years to clear his name. 
Page was at least an adult. In September 2006, a 14-year-old schoolgirl,
Codie Stott, asked a teacher if she could sit with another group to do a
science project as all the girls with her spoke only Urdu. The teacher's
first response, according to Stott, was to scream at her: "It's racist,
you're going to get done by the police!" Upset and terrified, the
schoolgirl went outside to calm down. The teacher called the police and a
few days later, presumably after officialdom had thought the matter over,
she was arrested and taken to a police station, where she was fingerprinted
and photographed. According to her mother, she was placed in a bare cell
for 3 1/2 hours. She was questioned on suspicion of committing a racial
public order offence and then released without charge. The school was said
to be investigating what further action to take, not against the teacher,
but against Stott. Headmaster Anthony Edkins reportedly said: "An
allegation of a serious nature was made concerning a racially motivated
remark. We aim to ensure a caring and tolerant attitude towards pupils of
all ethnic backgrounds and will not stand for racism in any form." 
A 10-year-old child was arrested and brought before a judge, for having
allegedly called an 11-year-old boya "Paki" and "bin Laden" during a
playground argument at a primary school (the other boy had called him a
skunk and a Teletubby). When it reached the court the case had cost
taxpayers pound stg. 25,000. The accused was so distressed that he had
stopped attending school. The judge, Jonathan Finestein, said: "Have we
really got to the stage where we are prosecuting 10-year-old boys because
of political correctness? There are major crimes out there and the police
don't bother to prosecute. This is nonsense." 
Finestein was fiercely attacked by teaching union leaders, as in those
witch-hunt trials where any who spoke in defence of an accused or pointed
to defects in the prosecution were immediately targeted as witches and
candidates for burning. 
Hate-crime police investigated Basil Brush, a puppet fox on children's
television, who had made a joke about Gypsies. The BBC confessed that Brush
had behaved inappropriately and assured police that the episode would be
banned. 
A bishop was warned by the police for not having done enough to "celebrate
diversity", the enforcing of which is now apparently a police function. A
Christian home for retired clergy and religious workers lost a grant
because it would not reveal to official snoopers how many of the residents
were homosexual. That they had never been asked was taken as evidence of
homophobia. 
Muslim parents who objected to young children being given books advocating
same-sex marriage and adoption at one school last year had their wishes
respected and the offending material withdrawn. This year, Muslim and
Christian parents at another school objecting to the same material have not
only had their objections ignored but have been threatened with prosecution
if they withdraw their children. 
There have been innumerable cases in recent months of people in schools,
hospitals and other institutions losing their jobs because of various
religious scruples, often, as in the East Germany of yore, not shouted
fanatically from the rooftops but betrayed in private conversations and
reported to authorities. The crime of one nurse was to offer to pray for a
patient, who did not complain but merely mentioned the matter to another
nurse. A primary school receptionist, Jennie Cain, whose five-year-old
daughter was told off for talking about Jesus in class, faces the sack for
seeking support from her church. A private email from her to other members
of the church asking for prayers fell into the hands of school authorities. 
Permissiveness as well as draconianism can be deployed to destroy socially
accepted norms and values. The Royal Navy, for instance, has installed a
satanist chapel in a warship to accommodate the proclivities of a satanist
crew member. "What would Nelson have said?" is a British newspaper cliche
about navy scandals, but in this case seems a legitimate question. Satanist
paraphernalia is also supplied to prison inmates who need it. 
This campaign seems to come from unelected or quasi-governmental bodies
controlling various institutions, which are more or less unanswerable to
electors, more than it does directly from the Government, although the
Government helps drive it and condones it in a fudged and deniable manner. 
Any one of these incidents might be dismissed as an aberration, but taken
together - and I have only mentioned a tiny sample; more are reported
almost every day - they add up to a pretty clear picture. 
Hal G. P. Colebatch's Blair's Britain was chosen as a book of the year by
The Spectator in 1999.


Bello questo, da meditare, la dittatura del correctness.

Questi due esempi sono da incorniciare.
