Labour safe seat grabber Luke Akehurst has been given a not so warm welcome in North Durham, in chaotic campaign launch scenes!
Right, so there have been some disastrous starts to election campaigns, but I can’t recall one ending up requiring a police escort on day one to rescue a candidate from their own would-be constituents, but this is what happened literally at the campaign launch in Durham North for full-time Israel lobbyist, Labour fixer & the guy who gave himself a safe Labour seat to run for, Luke Akehurst.
Akehurst’s launch saw blatant racism, protests against his candidacy, a punch up, Labour activists walking out in disgust and even news of a potential legal challenge to him standing, having foisted himself upon a part of the country this Oxford resident has no connection with.
Right, so a wee bit of footage there following Luke Akehurst’s election campaign launch in North Durham where he has installed himself as the candidate, a lovely safe Labour seat that the party has held since 1983 and Akehurst figures even he can get elected there, having failed to get elected on his own merit on two separate occasions in 2001 and 2005.
Well, local people are not happy and word is getting round apparently that the Labour candidate has been imposed on them and who he is and what he stands for and given the protesters there were very vocal about Palestine, his staunch, unshakable Zionist leanings, his job as a lobbyist for the apartheid state of Israel is what he’s best known for aside from his influence on Labour Party members and candidates. The fact the process is so corrupt that 5 NEC members who vote to decide who can be a candidate have awarded themselves candidacies in favourable seats, like Akehurst, will go down like a cup of cold sick too.
The police were called to that protest, the protesters preventing Akehurst from escaping his campaign launch, threats of attack came from 4 or 5 of Akehurst’s supporters against the protesters and certainly after police arrived, there was a bit of a dust up following those scenes, of which there is alleged footage of that attack, I’ve not reproduced it here, it can be found on social media, where a woman holding a Palestine flag got dragged around the road by the hair, by I can only assume an Akehurst supporter, because there is a few backing him, can’t say they’re necessarily locals, but not many though.
Let’s go back a bit here though, we’ve rushed to the end where he’s making his escape. Here he is celebrating with all the people he could muster to support him, apparently the two men are local councillors and the woman one of their wives, apparently a former councillor. Surely more people than that turned up? Well yes they did, here’s a picture inside of Pelton Community Centre, where it all began, not the biggest of crowds, but what that picture belies is that apparently far more Labour members had walked out and left the centre in disgust, refusing to be photographed with him and naturally people have had their fun with that image as social media will, references to Akehurst infamous support for the nuclear arms deterrent, amongst others.
