Shaun Wright Labour South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Candidate Election Results / Sheffield Local News
The election results for the Labour postal ballot for candidate for South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner came in.
As expected it was a close race between the two front runners, Kashaf Walayat and Shaun Wright going all the way to voter third preferences of each candidate that was knocked out. Therefore greatly influenced by the leaflets sent out to Labour party members.
The three losing candidates Med Hughes, Kash Walayat and Alan Billings all took part in an gentlemanly and fairly played election. However the same cannot be said for the Shaun Wright who crossed the line several times by sending out leaflets that implied official endorsements that were not given such as from MP's, constituencies and Unions, as an example the GMB had NOT officially endorsed Shaun Wright as his leaflets implied but another candidate. How many Labour voters were influenced by such instances of implied endorsements ? 10%? 15%?, enough to have effected the outcome!
So, I guess the person who played the dirtiest ultimately won, though this election was supposedly for the cleaner than clean post of Police and Crime Commissioner.
At the end of the day, the PPC elections show how incompetent the coalition government is as Conservatives claiming to be the party of Law and Order have effectively handed over control of most of England and Wales Police Forces to the Labour Party.

South Yorkshire Police & Crime Commissioner Labour Postal Ballot Election Vote Results / Sheffield Local News
The postal ballot for the election to select the Labour candidate for South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner public vote to be held on 15th November 2012 ended at mid-day Friday 15th June.
Four candidates stood, however it is expected that it will be a very close run vote primarily between Kashaf Walayat and Shaun Wright, whom I forecast to each attain approx 1/3rd of the vote, thereby falling short of the 50% needed to win on the first ballot, therefore the second and possibly even the third preferences of candidates falling out of the election will decide the outcome of this election.
The results are expected by Monday afternoon, 18th June 2012.

Help Dandelion Monster Weeds Ate My Garden, How to Kill Part1 / Gardening
Whilst Dandelions may taste nice in a dandelion and burdock fizzy drink. However in most gardens they are hideous weeds.
Don't make the mistake I made by ignoring the first few Dandelion weeds when they first started sprouting up in my garden, because within a matter of a couple of weeks they spread and literally took over my whole garden.
My garden went form this in Mid April.
To this in at the start of the May.

South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Labour Election / Sheffield Local News
My name is Kashaf Walayat, and I am seeking your nomination as the Labourcandidate for South Yorkshire Police Crime Commissioner.
As Police and Crime Commissioner, I will increase visible policing in our neighbourhoods as
one of my top priorities. I will ensure the necessary structures are put in place to enable local
people and communities to have their say of how policing is delivered. I will implement
strategies that will create safer neighbourhoods, reduce crime and ensure all communities are
treated fairly. I will address anti-social behaviour and reoffending head on.
I will challenge and scrutinise the use of outsourcing and privatisation of police services
because I believe our Police Force should remain a public service delivered by public
service employees.

Your Labour South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner / Sheffield Local News
Dear colleague,
Just a quick email to say I share your vision that: “We all deserve to feel safe and secure everyday of our lives without fear of crime.”
This is the greatest opportunity to achieve change in our policing. I want to be the person that guarantees these changes will make our area a safer better place to live for everyone.
I believe I would be the best choice to serve you as Police Crime Commissioner for the following reasons;
· Proposed original, affordable and realistically costed solutions that will deliver the priorities.
· Over 25 years collective senior level experience operating in the Labour Party, health, NHS, housing, policing, education, local and central government.
· A former senior civil servant having had direct management of multi-million pound budgets.
· Successfully challenged the outsourcing of the South Yorkshire Police Helicopter.
· Identified funds from existing budgets to increase police officers in our neighbourhoods.
· Resigned from a secure senior management position to devote all my time to delivering effective affordable policing for the future.
· Born, lived and educated in South Yorkshire and worked extensively across South Yorkshire.
· Ran this campaign with party workers and members, but not funded by Trade Union colleagues even though endorsed by Union members from GMB, UNITE, UNISON and NACODS.
As your Police Crime Commissioner, working with you, my top priorities will be to:
· Deliver affordable effective policing plans and priorities.
· Reduce and prevent crime and the fear of crime.
· Improve police response times and maximise the effectiveness of existing resources and technologies.
· Increase visible neighbourhood policing and address anti-social behaviour.
· Engage with public, partners, Labour Party members and all four local councils to connect with all communities and victims of crime.
I hope you will consider voting for me as your first choice to be your Labour Party Police Crime Commissioner.
Many thanks for your time.
Kind Regards
Kashaf Walayat OBE
