Or as Michele Foucault once put it: The Left is obliged to stand behind… facts that are totally beyond credibility."
So what exactly did The Guardian say? The following:
Officers in Manchester Bradford London and Birmingham have begun inquiries after receiving complaints about ghost voters false statements by candidates and multiple attempts to vote by a single person.
As well as Birmingham and Bradford they include Blackburn with Darwen Burnley Calderdale Coventry Derby Hyndburn Kirklees Oldham Pendle Peterborough Slough Tower Hamlets Walsall and Woking.
West Yorkshire police whose officers serve Bradford where former councillors have been imprisoned for electoral fraud said they had received 21 allegations of electoral irregularities.
Police across the UK have been asked to investigate more than 50 allegations of electoral fraud related to Thursdays elections in areas previously identified as vulnerable to vote-rigging new figures show."
More broadly the Electoral Commission has identified 16 high risk" areas across the country: areas where there is a high-risk of electoral malpractice. Now take in the cities and towns cited by the Electoral Commission: e.g. Blackburn Bradford Oldham Burnley etc.
The very mention of Bradford for example should give the game away. But if anything some of those other towns and boroughs cited have a higher proportion of (mainly Pakistani and Bangladeshi) Muslims than Bradford (e.g. Oldham Tower Hamlets etc.).
However the usual suspect Tower Hamlets really clinches the deal here. It seems that this London fiefdom cannot keep itself out of trouble. It comes with the Muslim territory.
In this most recent example of Bangladeshi - or Muslim - politics in Tower Hamlets the Council has been accused of breaking its election pledge to stop enthusiastic campaigners from standing outside polling stations. That is the Council has continued its undemocratic if not criminal activities. More to the point John Williams the Returning Officer in the area said what the Muslims of Tower Hamlets are doing is intimidating for people.
Things must be bad in Tower Hamlets if a Green Party activist (at the risk of being classed as a racist" Islamophobe" or a fascist) had this to say to Breitbart in London about the often-called Islamic Republic of Tower Hamlets:
A lot of the voters cant read and have no idea who they are voting for thats why people are out telling them what to do... the Bengalis in Tower Hamlets.. spend their lives living next to a crack den on one side and with the local Islamist downstairs. Something needs to be done."
So rather make the obvious point that this is largely a Muslim problem (as with sexual grooming-gangs female genital mutilation honour killings" domestic terrorism etc.) The Guardian chooses to have a go at the UK Independence Party (UKIP) instead. It says that
Ukip have sought to exploit electoral fraud allegations in Oldham... by lampooning postal vote fraud in an election leaflet".
Yes it seems that the very act of acknowledging the truth is also to exploit" the truth. Well at least in this instance The Guardian cant exploit the truth because its ignoring it (as it often does when it comes to matters both Muslim and Islamic). And since when has any political group or party not exploited" political issues? The Guardian itself exploits issues and events every single day it publishes. Thats politics mate. Except that The Guardian has different critical standards for far right" (i.e. conservative right-wing or patriotic) groups like UKIP than it does for for Muslim individuals and groups. And thats because The Guardian is racist. (You can forget the inverted" or positive" prefix.)
******************************************************
Much of the political and electoral fraud and corruption above is standard practice in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Thus Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslims are importing political corruption - alongside sharia FGM honour killings terrorism etc. - into the UK.
In other words the most corrupt councils in the UK are the ones with the most Pakistani and/or Bangladeshi Muslims.
Basically because theres nothing about council corruption and electoral fraud in the Koran and certainly nothing about corrupting kuffar councils then many Muslims dont think that what theyre doing is wrong.
Let me explain.
Theres not really any such thing as a Muslim literalist because Islam itself is or it must be literalist. Part of that literalism is Islams rule-fixation. And what follows from that is: ifs its not in the Koran or hadith then a Muslim doesnt really know what to do (from a moral or political perspective). And that may sometimes mean that he will do exactly what he wants to do (i.e. as long as it doesnt contravene Islamic teachings).
And because Islam is so rule-fixated theres no such thing as moral or religious reasoning. All there we have is following rules.
Theres a big problem (from a non-Muslim perspective) with this rule-fixation in Islam. For example Abdul Wahid Hamid says that the
basic principles in Islam is that every act or transaction is allowed unless it is prohibited".
This means that if necrophilia or pedophilia etc. is not explicitly prohibited" in the Koran the sunnah and the hadith then its allowed".
Thats primarily why so many Muslims are criminals. For example theres a massively disproportionate number of Muslims in our prisons. And theyre not there because theyre poorer" or more oppressed" than any other section of UK society. In the corrupt Muslim councils cases none of the criminals are either poor or oppressed.
This is not a problem for Christianity Hinduism Sikhism and Judaism because there have been traditions within these religions which have elaborated and extended their doctrines and rules. Muslims on the other hand explicitly state that this is not the case with Islam. Muslims say that its all there in the Quran": the unalterable and complete word of Allah". And even though theres also the sunnah and hadith Muslims still claim that its still all there in the Koran.
This is the source of the primary Muslim/Islamic criticism of Christianity Judaism etc: such religions have various deviant traditions and theologies"; not a single source of truth" (as is the case with Islam). Or as Abdul Hamid Hamid puts it:
The Quran has been preserved just as it was revealed. It will continue to be the human beings only source of authentic guidance to truth and his abiding link with Reality."
To continue on the theme of Islams fixation with rules.
Take the example of Salafists and many other Muslims who sleep on their left sides simply because Muhammad slept on his left side.
Why are Muslims scared of dogs? (Actually not really scared - more dismissive.) Because Muhammad didnt like dogs. (Although Muslims cite contradictory stories about Muhammads attitude to dogs.) Why do Muslims wear Arabic clothes in modern-day Birmingham or Bradford? Because thats what Muhammad wore. What about beards? Ditto.
Theres also a recommendation (for Muslim males) to part ones hair from left to right rather than vice versa. Actually thats a joke recommendation! But I hope youve got the message by now.
All this has completely disregarded the equally problematic converse of all the above:
In Islam every act or transaction is allowed if it is accepted or extolled in the Koran.
In other words the Koran doesnt really give Muslims a moral system beyond that which was relevant and appropriate in 7th century Arabia. That means that many Muslims are either in the dark in modern Western society or they feel that they can effectively do what they want; just as long as it doesnt contravene Islamic teachings or the Koran.

Finally if you want the truth (or even just genuine debate) on the subject of Muslim electoral fraud or Muslim council corruption (or anything to do with Islam or Muslims) then dont read The Guardian. On the other hand if you want ideological purity self-righteousness and Leftist indoctrination then The Guardians your rag.
And because most Guardianistas completely lack any skills of self-criticism and self-analysis they cant even contemplate the possibility let alone the reality - that The Guardian is the exact Leftist equivalent of the Daily Mail. You see all it takes to place yourself on an intellectual moral and political pedestal (above the plebs beneath) is simply to become a Guardianista (or a progressive"). No independence of mind is really required: just the very act of becoming or being a Guardianista/progressive. And this process is in fact very much like that of embracing a superior religion.
