While a Conservative party member she criticised Alex Salmond as "hopelessly out of his depth" and "utterly naive" for his comments condemning NATO's intervention in Kosovo.[15] In 2000, she resigned from the Conservatives in response to William Hague's "right wing" pronouncements on asylum seekers.[16] She briefly joined the Labour Party before declaring that she would join the Scottish National Party, and was welcomed as a 'defector'. "I am not an opportunist, I have changed political parties - so what?", Ahmed-Sheikh said at the time.[15] Salmond said he was "glad she had joined the party".[15] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't quite recall though whether that before or after being a Tory. She did indeed.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/792414.stm But let's reflect a little more on her time with the Tories. https://www.theguardian.com/world/1999/may/04/gender.uk Quote For Ahmed-Sheikh, who has translated her manifesto into Urdu and Punjabi, the alternative is obvious. Labour has become complacent, the SNP is referendum-obsessed; Tory values are Asian values, she argues. 'The strong sense of the family unit, the desire to bring up children in a stable environment, that's very similar to Conservative family values. All those who came over here from the Asian nations 30 or 40 years ago had to sustain themselves without any handouts: if you wanted to put food on your family's table, you had to find a job. What's her views nowadays? Who knows? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the plastic bit but I think it's more like a shitter version of Madame Tussaud's partially melted down another figure to try and get Elvis Costello. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he has lost the plot and talks absolute shite nowadays. Was he not pro-independence at some point? I'm sure he spoke at a few events years ago in favour of independence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s really nothing to like about him - he’s an attention-seeking cretin. He’s long since lost even the remnants of kudos he got for the overhyped w**k he had at the US Senate. Galloway is, always has been, and always will be for Galloway, and nothing else. Will pretending to be a cat and licking Rula Lenska’s fingers get him some bank? He’ll do it. Will sucking far-right cock keep the grift going? He’s on his knees already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He goes wherever the grift is, he was pro EU until he saw how many votes Farage got in the EU Parliament election, then did a rapid reverse and stood on platforms alongside him for the Brexit referendum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
