The ship of fools that is the RESPECT Party could be sinking if not sunk. Following its abysmal performance in last week’s elections comes news that its financier and chairman of the Tower Hamlets branch, Azmal Hussain, has resigned.
A local chairman and a financier of the Respect Party has told BBC London he is to resign and stop funding it. Azmal Hussain, chair of Tower Hamlets branch of the party in east London, said: “If anyone wants to continue, let them, but I am not involved.”
When asked about the future of his party, Mr Hussain said: ”For me it is over.”
“I will resign and will stop funding the party. Not a single penny.”
Happier days at the 'Salma and George Show'
Some unanswered questions linger in the wreckage of the failed experiment. Amongst them, what now for the coalition of the Far Left and a strand of British Islamic identity politics?
And more importantly, which mainstream political party will Salma Yaqoob now cross over to now that George Galloway is going to Hollywood?
