Talk:Alan Craig

Untitled

Alan Craig is likely to become increasingly controversial, due to his campagning against the possible construction of a mosque - search YouTube for 'meetalancraig' & 'abdullah142' for both sides. I think a page should exist - I came to look for it - but it could be the subject of editing wars ! I don't know how to vote, but I'm not too worried ! 195.137.93.171 01:17, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Who else is there to stand up against the corrupt council in the London Borough of Newham run by Robin Wales?

The Respect party has been pretty silent?

That mosque is going to create a lot of traffic. You only have to see the local mosques after Friday prayers.... you imagine trying to get out of a 50,000 (?) size places. It is not the size of the worship that matters, but the quality of the worship e.g. God is every where. Local mosques to serve local needs. What will happen to all the mosques already there? That is just my opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.163.175 (talk) 11:45, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

"During his time as a Directorof the SRB he was successful in obtaining SRB funding for CCTV cameras on the Mayflower Centre, of which he was still also Director" - This is unsourced, and with good reason. The Mayflower Centre does not have, and has never had, CCTV cameras! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.12.84.126 (talk) 20:36, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

American political campaigner?

I don't understand why, but on my mobile wikipedia app, it puts him as 'American political campaigner' in the short description. Matt 190417 (talk) 10:02, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
