Born in East Lancashire, but still in the Punjab

clipped from www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk East Lancashire reaction to Shahid Malik expenses probe ADVICE: Gordon Birtwistle THE Burnley-born MP at the centre of an expenses and rent row has been slammed by Burnley Council leader Gordon Birtwistle. Shahid Malik has stepped down from his role as a Justice Minister but called for the media "bloodfest" to stop. But Coun Birtwistle said Mr Malik "must be joking" if he thought the real issue was the media response rather than the attitude of MPs towards their expenses. He said if the allegations against Mr Malik were true he was "using the system to his own advantage".

Shahid Malik is the type of dross who can insult veterans as he hides behind Parliamentary pivilege. As the Labour spin machine gets into full turn, this poor excuse of a public official will bounce back stronger than ever.
With so many young men dying for him to abuse his position, I will risk the wrath of the courts by pointing out that Maliks’ benefactors will do anything to rehabilitate him. But they will not join the British Armed Forces. Have you noticed how few of his people are actually in the Forces? Why should they? They can foster their own positions whilst Lancashire Lads are dying. And this MP in Yorkshire can continue to insult veterans and the types of Gordon Marsden will not take up the cudgel on veterans’ behalf.
