On 23 February 2005, Lord Ahmed hosted a book launch in the House of Lords for anti-Zionist author Israel Shamir. On the 22 March, Stephen Pollard, in a guest editorial appearing in the Times, lambasted the event. In his piece entitled ‘Lord Ahmed’s Unwelcome Guest’, Pollard opines that Shamir “is, in fact, a Swedish-domiciled anti-Semite also known as Jöran Jermas.” Pollard goes on to characterize the speech entitled ‘Jews and Empire’ as containing anti-Semitic references such as “Jews control … a big share of mass media”; ‘the Jewish supremacy drive’ as the one reason for wars in the Middle East, and that ‘Jews love Empire’. Shamir also suggested that the large Muslim population in Britain was important to turn the tide of ‘Judaic Values’ in Britain. Lord Ahmed refused to comment on the remarks of Shamir.

Nazir, NazirI was only joking
When I said I’d like to smash every tooth
In your head

Oh … Nazir, Nazir, I was only joking
When I said by rights you should be
Bludgeoned in your bed

He’s a cornershop owner from Rotherham. That’s it.

Rotherham, eh? Well that explains everything!

*Ducks*

And why has he not been expelled from the Labour party?

A Labour Party spokesman said: “Any member who receives a custodial sentence is subject to immediate expulsion.”

Seems clear enough to me.

Lord Nazir has never said a great thing about Great Britain. In fact that’s why he is a promoter of the al-Qaeda and Anwar al-Awlaki. He was born in Pakistan. He has lived in the United Kingdom, enjoyed the wealth and I don’t think he has made a great contribution.
