As that last strand isn't/wasn't about John Leech's selection and/or what David Kierman seems to think is the alleged racism of the people of Withington which handed him the seat it is a bit silly to try to send Yasmin back to the other strand. It would be more useful to start a specific strand on the charge that pandering to racism played a part in John Leech's selection?

The link is to a story of Labour in Bolton selecting a muslim woman called Yasmin Qureshi. A good choice I think though goodness knows there was resistance to it in that areas too.

My view is that if confronted with such feedback the right thing to do is show LEADERSHIP not go with this MIRRORING nonsense that Lib Dems prefer.

This is why the Lib Dems are so far behind on equality issues across the piece.
