dear brothers and sisters in oldham
assalamu alaikum
my name is george galloway
i've been a member of parliament for
almost 30 years the last three of which
i've had the honor to be the member of
parliament for the bradford west
constituency which i'm fighting to
retain on the 7th of may
and i just wanted to send a message
to the brothers and sisters that i met
in the saint mary's ward in oldham last
weekend and to those brothers and
sisters i have not yet met that i hope
everyone is getting fully behind the
campaign of the respect candidate for
the saint mary's ward tariq mahmoud
ullah
i was very proud when
i was able to sign the nomination forms
as the leader of respect for tariq he's
an outstanding candidate and would make
an outstanding counsellor
he's a lion as i said
on top of my bus in the saint mary's
ward last weekend and he's really
frightening the sheep you know the kind
of sheep that i'm talking about the
people who just make up the numbers the
people who just put their faces into the
nosebag and eat their way through their
term as counselors doing nothing for the
ordinary people being unavailable to the
ordinary people and not getting very
much in the way of resources from the
oldham city council's budget tariq won't
have any of that he'll roar out
for the people of saint mary's he'll
demand
their share their fair share
of what's going in terms of council
resources
and he'll be nobody's sheep
a lion is a lion and tariq
ullah is a lion thank you for the
fantastic response that our boss and our
friends here from bradford west when we
came through we really felt we were at
home we really felt that we were not in
another city in another county we felt
that we were one big family a family
fighting for respect
for the poor for the working people for
the minorities for the muslims
and we will continue that fight and if
we could make a breakthrough in oldham
then it would be sending a shockwave
across lancashire it would show that the
people were not prepared to put up any
more with second-rate or third-rate
representation
tariq mahmoud ola
is a first-class candidate he'll make a
first-class councillor you make sure
that only the best is good enough for
the people of the saint mary's ward
please give him your support and i look
forward to coming through again
inshallah for his victory celebration
this is george galloway in bradford
