Unpacking the notion of “pro-Assad”
Mr. Adnan Hussain is standing supposedly as an “independent” candidate to unseat the sitting Member of Parliament, the Labour Party’s Kate Hollern in next week’s General Election. There is no doubt Mr Hussain is an honourable person who has reached the top of his legal profession and he has every right to stand. However, his candidacy was announced after former UK ambassador, Mr. Craig Murray of the Workers Party of Britain had thrown his hat in the ring in the wake of the Gaza Genocide and more specifically after Worker’s Party leader, George Galloway had won his seat in Rochdale.
Both Hussain and Murray seek to punish Labour Party for its support of the British establishment backed Zionist-colonial genocide in Gaza. Mr Murray had stood for elections in Blackburn almost 20 years ago in 2005 when he attempted to unseat the then Labour Foreign Secretary, the war criminal Jack Straw. What motivated Mr. Murray back then was the invasion of Iraq and the subsequent killing of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. It is understandable Mr. Murray now seeks to punish Labour for its current support for the genocide in Palestine.

Professor Gerald Horne, author of White Supremacy Confronted has called Debunking the Myth of America’s Poodle an “illuminating, scalding and scorching take down of British imperialism.”
Dr. John Newsinger, author of the The Blood Never Dried has said, “everyone concerned with the history of and the fight against British Imperialism needs to read. Both scholarly and politically committed.”
Dr. Arun Kandnani author of the The Muslims are Coming! confirms the book is “a useful reminder that Britain’s foreign policy is driven by a distinct imperialist dynamic that continues to the present day.”
