Over the last couple of days the Labour candidate Kim Leadbeater has attracted a lot of sympathy after the appalling bullying she has been putting up with that finally surfaced in a video showing her being pursued by a homophobic gang of Islamists with Iranian Press TV and the Five Pillars group conveniently being around for the opportunity.
Add to that the attacks on Labour canvassers by "youths" and it's clear that with all the deliberate stirring going on to turn the Muslim community against Starmer's party you'd think that Labour would have the moral high ground to avoid going down the dirty tricks road.
At the same time leaflets pretending from the Labour Party stirring trouble over "taking the knee" have been inn circulation. The origin of these leaflets is unknown and has further poisoned the atmosphere in Batley & Spen
Sadly the above leaflet which uses the divisive Kashmir issue to appeal to Muslim voters turned out to be real and has resulted in a protest from Labour Friends Of India. Kashmir, like the I/P conflict is a complex issue, however crass opportunism in trying to compete with Galloway has put this leaflet on the wrong side of the fence.
