Mr Amin was caught on film discussing the idea of an EDL march, which would be announced before he held phoney talks with the group to get it called off.
He would then gain credit for defusing the situation just before the general election.

In undercover footage obtained by the Mail on Sunday, he offered to 'bring the English Defence League out of the shadows into the mainstream political debate' and claimed that if he was elected to Parliament would act as a 'very strong, unshakeable ally' who would work hard to get the group 'involved in all the institutions of the State'.

Golden rule for politicians broken by Afzal Amin...

Don't start lying until you have been elected.
 
What a pathetic individual he was too.

That UKIP cow has been thrown out now as well.

It puzzles me what drives these people to want to serve in public office , and then act like they do.

Money.....

MPs’ annual salary is currently £66,396.
- MPs’ pay increased by 1 percent on 1 April 2013.
- MPs first received an allowance in 1911.
- The MPs’ Pension Scheme started in 1964. Like most schemes in the public sector, it is a “defined benefit” scheme, based on final salary.

For the 2010-2015 Parliament, only MPs defeated in their attempt to be re-elected will get one month’s salary for each year served, up to a maximum of six months or over £33,000. From the start of the 2015 Parliament, it will be replaced by a "Loss of Office Payment", at double the statutory redundancy payment. "For the 'average' MP, who leaves office with 11 years' service, this may lead to a payment of around £14,850."[10]

Winding-up Allowance

There is also up to £42,000 on offer to pay for winding up staff contracts and office rent.[11] An allowance of up to one third of the annual Office Costs Allowance was paid for the reimbursement of the cost of any work on Parliamentary business undertaken on behalf of a deceased, defeated or retiring Member after the date of cessation of Membership. On 5 July 2001 the House agreed to change the allowance to one third of the sum of the staffing provision and Incidental Expenses Allowance in force at the time of cessation of Membership.[12]
 
Good riddance to both of them. How they think they can get away with it is beyond me. Massive ego's
