Tory candidate accused of EDL plot urged to 'fess up' and 'go now'
A Conservative parliamentary candidate who was recorded plotting with the English Defence League to increase his vote by stirring up a row over a new mosque is expected to be expelled from the party within days.
The defence minister, Anna Soubry, urged Afzal Amin, the Tory candidate in Dudley North, to fess up and go now if the allegations were true. According to the Mail on Sunday, Amin floated a plan for the EDL to a march against a mosque in the constituency that would then be called off.
Amin has been suspended pending a formal investigation, but Tory sources indicated that Amins position was unsustainable.

Soubry, a defence minister, said: He is at the moment denying this. He has been suspended. What I would say is I would appeal if there is any truth in this to him then go now, hold your head up. Obviously if this is right this is dreadful. The EDL is the most appalling organisation. It doesnt matter which party you are. Anybody who engages in that sort of shenanigans doesnt do anybody any credit.

If he were running in the US, faux would have leaped to his defense and Cruz and Gohmert would be blaming Obama, while Alex Jones called it a false flag ops
