The openly gay Conservative GLA Assembly Member Brian Coleman has exceeded himself on Mayor’s Questions for January (MQT). He asks the Mayor” In light of the injustice carried out when the Chinese government executed Akmal Shaikh, a former constituent of mine, will the Mayor now institute a policy of not entertaining the Chinese ambassador, Madame Fu Ying, the public face of this appalling regime, at any City Hall events?”

Now as far as I am concerned the GLA Member for Barnet and Camden should be working his butt off (if you’ll pardon the pun) to ensure the removal of dangerous drugs off the streets of London. Just because China takes a different view of drug traffickers than the ultra Liberal stand our authorities take is no business of ours.
Lets look at the history of the “Briton” Akmal Shaikh. Born in Pakistan Shaikh lived for most of the 1980’s in the USA. In 2003, Shaikh sexually harassed and unfairly sacked a 24-year-old female employee; he also failed to pay more than half her wages. In 2004, an Employment Tribunal awarded her £10,255.97 damages and unpaid wages, which he subsequently never paid. Shaikh and his son, Abdul-Jabbar, both failed to attend the tribunal hearings for the harassment case and sold the business to another minicab firm, his first marriage ended in divorce in 2004.

He married his Polish secretary – who was then pregnant with his daughter and moved to Poland permanently in 2005. After 7/7 Shaikh sent a text message to two people in London which said: “Now everybody will understand who Muslims are and what jihad is.” As a result, Shaikh was investigated as a terror suspect for five months after the SMS was intercepted by British MI5 and Poland’s Internal Security Agency. In December 2005, the MI5 investigation was discontinued due to insufficient evidence. Polish prosecutors confirmed that they conducted an investigation into Shaikh. In 2006 he was sentenced by a Polish court for driving under the influence of alcohol, and was sentenced to one year in jail (suspended for four years) and prohibited from driving for three years. He was wanted in 2007 by a Lublin court for not paying alimonies.

Quite how this man qualifies as a British subject is totally beyond me, however, if you take a risk of trying to smuggle drugs into a country that carries a mandatory death sentence for so doing, and you are subsequently caught, then surely you have to carry the can for your actions. Rather than crocodile tears from the great and the good of Britiain’s ruling elite and condemnation of other governments, they should be ensuring the streets of London are safe to walk on 24/7.
Boris’s reply is eagerly awaited by the hacks in City Hall and you can rest assured London Patriot readers will be first to know our esteemed Mayor’s response.
