The Labour Party and Ilyas Khan

Footy Nut · 07-05-2010, 17:54

Has anyone else heard that Ilyas Khan is a big supporter of the Labour Party and was a Significant backer of the Hyndburn Labour Group in this year's elections?

It's been well documented Ilyas has supported Labour in the campaign. How he does it and why he does it is surely his own business, not sure why he should be singled out ?

Ilyas appeared in one of Graham Jones' leaflets leading up to the election, showing his support. It's not exactly a dirty rumour, is it.

Reasonable question, want to know were the threads going?

I had heard that Ilyas Khan had also been a financial backer for the Hyndburn party in addition to his other support, so I was just asking.

Hearing and repeating is just a rumour, grow up and bring fact's next time.

Hey, cashy how come we never get invited to this 'Hyndburn' Party?

good evening footy mad. i am assuming you must be a regular on the asfc site.

i dont quite know where your question was going, but I am pleased that i can answer directly. If you are not aware already, Expatriate is my log in (Ilyas Khan).

I am a long time supporter of the Labour Party. I first started going out with the totally awesome Arthur Davidson in the 70's. I was really keen to help the Party where and when possible, and I have had a great time on the few occasions I was able to get upto to Hyndburn and help Graham's efforts.

On the financial side, as you probably are aware, the local party, indeed nationally the labour party was outspent by a massive margin, and its no secret that I was very pleased, in my own small way, to contribute to the financing of the Hyndburn campaign. No secrets there.

If you have any other questions, please ask away. You can also PM me if you wish. I hope you get across to the crown ground next season, waving the other red flag !

Mate, I give money to the Dogs home & the local boozer, but no one questions my actions

Why should Ilyas be any different if he wants to give his wad away that's his choice ! Don't read so much into it & in answer to your question, obviously quite a few people are aware.

Hey Ilyas....good to see you on this part of the site as well as the Stanley bit!

(Thats one Expat in London to another!)

expatriate · 07-05-2010, 19:02

hello TL. Good to hear from you. I dont think I have posted outside the stanley board, but obviously given the proximity of the election this part of the board must have been active so when i found out that the question had been asked, I thought i would answer rather than leave it. I was at the count last night and a couple of people did want to chat about stanley rather than the election !!

i am on the train back to London. the pendolino with wifi is brilliant - although i had planned to take a bit of a kip.

are you going to cheltenham tomorrow ?
