Slough is next door to Windsor Castle (and Eton).
Slough is an interesting constituency. One of the most ethnically diverse areas in England, 47 percent of the population of Asian origin, split between Indians and Pakistanis. At the 2011 census, the Indians held the majority, reflecting Indian-heritage Dhesi holding the parliamentary seat.
In the last decade, though, there has been an influx of Pakistanis putting them at 22 percent of the population against the largely Sikh Indians at 19 percent – giving the Muslims the largest single ethnic group.
At the 2019 general election, Labour fielded Tan Dhesi who took 29,421 votes, with the Tories also fielding an Indian heritage candidate, Kanwal Gill, who gained 15,781 votes, giving Dhesi a 13,640 majority (much of it comprising the Muslim, Labour-supporting vote).
Now that the Muslims are putting up an independent candidate, Azhar Chohan, they have enough voting strength, from a population of over 28,000, to take the seat. The only way this could be stopped is for the Indian-heritage community to unite behind the Conservative Indian-heritage Moni Nanda.
In that case, we could see one of the first, if not the first, direct Sikh versus Muslims sectarian election... Great. Just what "England" needs.Keir Starmer, poor chap, is insufficiently pro-Hamas for the tastes of his voting bloc in Slough and elsewhere. I say "poor chap" because it's not just geopolitics, it has implications for his home life. Sir Keir, like most Euro-lefties, is an atheist, but Lady Starmer is Jewish and is raising their children in her faith. So, if you're wondering why the Labour leader is campaigning as a confirmed bachelor, well...:
Starmer's Jewish wife 'forced out of home' by anti-Israel protesters
That's from The Jewish Chronicle. The rest of the press has decided the Jewess at the top of an Islamo-dependent party is one of those complicating factors that might discombobulate the agreeable torpor of this election.
The future has shown up: the Muslim disengagement from Sir Keir's Labour Party was one of the most significant developments in last month's local elections, although it too attracted little media attention. If that trend were to accelerate, it would cause problems beyond Slough.
Numbers numbers numbers... In case you needed any further proof of the utter pointlessness of Irish nationalism in the age of multiculti delusion, the Shinners are celebrating Eid:
