	Labour MP- Halt on Immigration Needed

	Birmingham Sparkbrook and Small Heath (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Roger Godsiff, born 1946, son of a chargehand, was educated at Catford Comprehensive Schoo and for 22 years was a union official with APEX, and, following a merger, with the GMBU.
		Godsiff is the classic example of a white incumbent Labour MP in a predominantly Asian constituency, whose poistion is maintained by a combination of diligent ward-heeling and self-defeating divisions within the ethnic population.
		His profile at Westminster is so low that, when appearing incidentally in a press photograph with Kenneth Clarke, outside of the Commons, he was identified as one of Clarke's supporters in the Tory leadership contest.

		We all thought he was in birmingham and you in birmingham all thought he was in the house of commons but if you consult the record you will see he's the most silent member that the british parliament has had in half a century.
		And your constituency is being misrepresented by roger godsiff while salma yaqoob and respect cut a majority of sixteen thousand down to three thousand and we allege that that three thousand is the product of electoral fraud.
		If salma gets the chance to have a go again with the quiet man roger godsiff i promise you ten thousand supporters from all over this country will come into this constituency [words inaudible because of applause].

	The Spectator.co.uk
		Roger Godsiff, the MP for Birmingham Sparkbrook and Small Heath, told me that there was a ‘culture of institutional chaos’ within the system.
		Again, as the Labour MP Roger Godsiff put it to me, ‘unrestricted, unrecorded migrant growth’ is placing ‘intolerable pressure on services such as housing, social care and education’.
		Many employers cynically welcome immigration, of course, because it helps to drive down wages, though it is odd that so many left-wingers should give their ideological backing to this kind of brute labour-market capitalism.

	Muslim candidate challenges UK election result - Irna
		A Muslim candidate standing for the anti-war Respect Coalition has lodged an official complaint, questioning the victory by Labor MP Roger Godsiff in Birmingham Sparkbrook and Small Heath constituency at the general election last month.
		Salma Yaqoob, who was seeking to become the first hijab-wearing Muslim MP to enter the House of Commons, filed at petition to the High Court, saying there had been enough complaints about postal votes to warrant an investigation into the result.
		At the election, she narrowly failed to win the seat after reducing Godsiff's 16,246 majority to just 3,289, when gaining a staggering 27.5 percent swing in Britain's most populous Muslim constituency.

	Hijab News in the UK: First hijab-wearing Muslim MP contesting election in Briton
		Yaqoob, who was born in the northern English city of Bradford but lives in Birmingham, is contesting the traditionally safe seat held by Labour MP, Roger Godsiff, with a 16,000 vote majority.
		Galloway described Godsiff as having "the worst-ever" record of participating in parliamentary debates over the past century and done nothing to represent the people's interests.
		People like Godsiff regard Muslim families, like Yaqoob's of Pakistan descent, as "foreigners, as 'Pakis', as 'immigrants from whom we'll soak votes if we're lucky and when it suits us we'll kick them in teeth before we stab them in the back'," he said.

		I'm surprised Godsiff is standing again though a big chunk of his seat also goes into Yardley so I suppose if he fails to get Hall Green then he can fight Yardly.
		Roger Godsiff will win Hall Green at a canter - the membership numbers stack up for him.
