By Election Looming

Hi

One of Corbyn's supporters, has been found guilty of perverting the course of justice.

She has had the Labour Whip withdrawn and should now resign.

She only had a majority of 600 at the last election.

Will she resign ?

Re: By Election Looming

Onasanya could be given a custodial sentence then will have to resign.

If she has any integrity she will resign anyway.

Too true Meg, but you would have thought that there were lessons to learn from the last couple that tried the same trick Chris Huhne and Vicky Pryce, both jailed and shamed and careers destroyed, and for what? Bonkers....

Re: By Election Looming

This reminds me of what happened to Chris Huhne. He claimed that his wife was driving the car at the time so that he could keep his driving licence. A few weeks later a policeman spotted him using his mobile while driving so he lost his licence anyway. In due course he lost his cabinet position, was sent to jail and was obliged to resign as an MP.

An MP who lied to police about a speeding offence has said she plans to stay on in the House of Commons, despite facing a possible jail term.

Writing in her local newspaper, Fiona Onasanya said constituents should "rest assured" she will remain their MP.

In the article in the Peterborough Telegraph, Ms Onasanya did not mention her conviction for lying to police to avoid a speeding charge.

Ms Onasanya wrote: "It's an honour to be your voice for change over an incredibly consequential period of British politics. You can rest assured that I will continue to do so as your representative in the corridors of power."
She can "talk the talk" .....

I saw this reported on www.order-order.com

The problem for her was not the fine, which would have been small beer for anyone, and certainly on an MPs salary
Nor should the points have been a problem under normal circumstances

However, she already had several points on her licence, and thus those extra three points would have put her over the maximum allowed, so she would have lost her licence

This led to the real concerns of this case.
To avoid the penalty she lied to the police, and also she lied to the court, whilst under oath, which is a far more serious offence, even if the original incident was fairly trivial
It's what's known as committing perjury

Even more worrying is that she is a solicitor, and knew perfectly well what she was doing
This certainly casts doubts on her integrity and abilities as both a solicitor and an MP
You would expect that the relevant legal professional body would take serious disciplinary action - we shall see

So far there is no indication that she will resign voluntarily, which brings MPs into even more disrepute
Failing her resignation, if the Labour Party do not sack her, its image will also suffer

Cynics among us might think that with its lefty-liberal tendencies, the BBC has been guilty of selective reporting, or bias by omission

LMAO ! What image?!

Looney Labour is nothing but a rogues gallery of criminals and undesirables.

I mean FFS Corbyn even gave convicted election fraudster Marsha Jane Thompson a key job in his campaign team !!

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/pol...for-fraud.html

"Marsha-Jane Thompson, Momentum’s social media co-ordinator, was sentenced to 100 hours’ community punishment after registering improperly completing details on the Electoral Roll for the east London borough of Newham.

Appearing at Snaresbrook Crown Court on 29 March 2006, Ms Thompson pleaded guilty to 19 specimen counts of using a false instrument, contrary to the 1981 Fraud and Counterfeiting Act, and one count of false accounting under the 1968 Theft Act.

Ms Thompson was employed as a housing officer by Newham Council at the time she committed the fraud. In a statement, the council said that she had “submitted electoral registration forms for more than 100 different addresses which appeared to contain discrepancies. . .

The council's internal audit counter fraud team began an investigation, interviewing residents and taking statements. When they questioned Ms Thompson, she admitted she had completed some of the forms herself, including forging signatures. ”



I'm sorry but the notion that Looney Labour has some kind of image that it needs to protect and preserve is ridiculous.

It is, as I said above, a rogues gallery of undesirables.

They also included:

Emma Dent Coad who came under scrutiny for making blatant racist "ghetto boy" remarks.

Ken Livingstone, well known for a host of anti-semitic remarks

Kelvin Hopkins, whome Corbyn appointed as shadow secretary of state for culture, media and sport despite being warned about his sexual harrassment antics.

MP Jared O’Mara who resigned from the women and equalities committee after the unearthing of his history of
homophobic and sexist comments on online forums

and a host of other undesirables.

Looney Labour is an utter farce of a party, and not fit even to carry the "Labour" banner itself.

A long standing Labour supporter had this to say to the Yorkshire Post:


I am ashamed of what the Labour party has become under Marxist Jeremy Corbyn"

"What possessed it to elect a leader in the Marxist Jeremy Corbyn, who condones Venezuela’s devastating socialism, consorts with terrorists, would consign our nuclear deterrent to the dustbin called Sellafield, leave our military impotent and fracture the democratic Western alliance?"

https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news...rbyn-1-8704780


Looney Labour remains utterly unfit to govern this country

Jezbollah Corbyn remains wholly unelectable.
