As is usual this posting is a matter of rumour, allegations, anecdote, observations, historical memory/fact and in this case written evidence.
Now we come to the tale of the mysterious Mohammad Riaz, first appeared on the Barking labour party scene about 2 years or more ago. Once again on questioning many 'knew' him but no one seems to know of him.
But that did not seem to matter at North Street, according to them he was a willing and terribly hard worker.
In fact if many of you as friends and supporters will remember back you will have seen Mr Riaz voting regularly at Barking CLP meetings, at the Barking clp AGM, at the Co-op meeting AGM and also we understand at the LGC. All of his votes were of course illegal votes but then again when would the Chair John Davis ever worry about that.
Allegedly Mr Riaz lived in Goresbrook ward, but, we understand that he never attended a ward meeting there. We have also been given information that Goresbrook was not the ward he was interested in.
Members have told us that a few of them would be sitting together at a meeting talking and would look round and there was Mr Riaz listening in to what they were saying. Always there in the background at meetings or M Hodge coffee mornings was how he was described to us really creepy.
We are also told that the only 2 people he seemed to be really close with were Mr Aziz and Laila Butt.
We have seen evidence that last year in the London elections a list of Ward co-coordinators was sent out to members and Mr Riaz and his mobile tele no was listed was the Ward co-coordinator for Eastbury Ward, strange this don't you think bearing in mind he allegedly lived in Goresbrook ward.
We understand that this was challenged by the Chair and Secretary of Eastbury as the Chairman was in fact the co-coordinator for Eastbury this was hurriedly brushed away by North Street as a simple mistake, but knowing what followed on from there we, and we are sure you will come to a different conclusion.
Now as we have said Mr Riaz allegedly lived in Goresbrook ward in Stamford road, which many will know is quite a long road and covers 2 wards. We are told that the next word of Mr Riaz was an up date on membership lists which go to many members of the party, the up date in December stated that Mr Riaz had moved, only to another address in Stamford road, but one which would put him in Eastbury Ward.
Why the move in the same road you may ask, well we asked the same question, and what rolled out from this is a real comedy of errors, that will bring some very red faces not only in North Street, London Region but right to the General Secretary of the Labour Party, as it was on his desk that this pile of corruption would finally end up.
Just to give you an example of the stupidity of the North Street mafia and why this case will continue to run, when 'they' moved Mr Riaz into Eastbury ward they moved him next door to the ward secretary. Well to be fair to them there is a small road between the houses, but what they would not have known and what we have subsequently found out is that the ward secretary knew the owners of the house that Mr Riaz had allegedly moved into.
In our next installment we will tell you what Aziz,Butt and Riaz did to try and destabilize the Eastbury ward AGM and just how and why the General Secretary has been caught up in this dirty little game. We would place on record that we and others involved in this firmly believe that the General Secretary is an innocent party in this but the same could not be said of Rob Chapman from London Region.
