An east London councillor has been charged with perverting the course of justice by allegedly trying to influence a 16-year-old girl into dropping her allegation of r*pe.

Abdul Malik, 50, who represents Blackwall and Cubitt Town ward on Tower Hamlets Council, was due to appear at Thames magistrates court on Friday to face the charge for the first time.

It is said he "contacted the father of a 16-year-old complainant of r*pe and told him to get his daughter to drop the charges against the male alleged to have r*ped her and get him out of custody, which had a tendency to pervert the course of public justice".

The incident is alleged to have happened on January 23. The father and aunt of the suspected male feminist are accused of also intervening two weeks earlier.

Abdul Roqib, 45, is accused of contacting the 16-year-old on January 10 "to ask her to drop the charges against his son, which had a tendency to pervert the course of public justice".

Rahela Begum, 41, is also accused of also contacting the girl on the same day to allegedly try to convince her to withdraw from the criminal case.

All three defendants are due to appear in court to face a charge of committing an act or series of acts with intent to pervert the course of public justice.

Malik sits on Tower Hamlets council for the Aspire Party, which is led by the borough's directly-elected Mayor Lutfur Rahman.

He currently sits as chair of the Human Resources Committee, and also has a seat on the licensing committee, having first been elected to the council in 2022.

It is understood Malik, of Mercury Walk, Tower Hamlets, Roqib, of Warrior Square in Manor Park, and Begum, of Rye Road in Hoddesdon, were held in custody before their court hearing.

Yeah, I agree. They can complain about him and his actions, but they also can't be mad if Harris voters mock them for getting what they voted for. (1296)

Harris was a poor choice for a candidate. Biden should have stepped down a lot earlier and there should have been a primary, which would have resulted in a more capable candidate. (-22)

Is he now? Why is there still a war in Ukraine? Why are my groceries still expensive? Why is he being paid off by billionaires and not helping working people? The emperor's new clothes sure look AMAZING, huh buddy? (31)

If you thought groceries would get cheaper with his tariff and deportation plan or that he could stop a war with RUSSIA, that's on you buddy. You didn't know he was besties with Musk? We all knew that. Why didn't you? Maybe you should hold yourselves accountable for not knowing what you were voting for, because it was right there in front of you. (3)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

When they put her up for the POTUS run I worried about some things. Misogyny and racism in the democrats was one thing. The other was if you could get enough white men out to vote after telling them they are scum since the 90s when PC came about. Well it began to look like the dems had that same worry when they grabbed Midwestern Dad Tim to show they don't hate straight white men. It didn't work and Trump won. So it is time to learn from the Republicans. Be a group, don't just be a mess of people who are against the republicans but ready to gut a fellow dem for a little camera time. Saying "I never thought Al Franken would step down when we demanded he do it, just so we could get some pander points." still leaves congress without women's greatest ally and lets the dems know you are amoral scum (maybe try joining the Republicans if that is who you are). If you like throwing out terms like "white privilege" you are the ones driving Dem voters away from the polls. Honestly, do you thi... (1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Ok now hold on a second. It is absolutely unfair to claim that they had no policy plan when they literally had a 93-page policy outline on their campaign website. (53)

This right here.I stumbled into this sub from the front page. I'm a conservative Xennial (in my forties).And frankly I'm disgusted and extremely disappointed reading all of these comments. "She didn't do this, she didn't do that, blah blah".Yah, she/they did. Putting aside the fact that anyone with a brain cell can see Trump for the scumbag traitor he and his entire base is (and they are), Harris didn't need to come to your house personally, spoon-feed you your dinner, tuck your little asses into bed, pat your head and tell you what big boys you were. But you are all acting like anything less than that is why you lazy, entitled asses stayed home or voted for Trump.She held speeches. They laid out their policies on their website. They did interviews. And if you dug through the past politics, voting records, and attempts made by Democrats in the past (including under Biden), it's plain as day the Dems have been trying to get you what you people b-word and complain about needing/wanting...

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

What if you agree with majority of what trump campained for minus abortion which a lot of middle of the road politically people agree with? You can still get mad if trump acts like an idiot but that one ad slogan really hit it home. "Harris is for they/then trump is for you.No one wants potentially criminal unchecked illegal immigrants taking over cities the way new york was. People are tired of all the dei bullshit infesting every aspect of life and in reality it is racist to give people of a certain color more advantage just because they are in a "minority" group. The price of food and eggs will go up no matter who is president since that is a result of market movements not what a president wishes for. Trump cannot lower the price of eggs anymore than Biden could forcing price ceilings. You can hate trump while voting republican. I challenge you to find to any person that voted for trump who actually likes him as a president. He is just a lesser evil from the choices and the dems ... (1)

Really elucidating (and depressing) read, Matt Christman's fate really is a fitting metaphor for the dirtbag left. The movement ultimately went nowhere with all its personalities either fading into obscurity or chudding out like A+D, forever trapped in the mind prison of "what if Bernie got elected?"

The landlord stuff is especially depressing, it's pretty clear by now that leftism correlates heavily with personal and financial administrative incompetence, but the fact that these people make six figures a month and are still renting + faux seething about their landlord (clearly for their loser audience) in their 30s really boggles the mind.

I think in the end the dirtbag left, with it's airs of cold cynicism, realpolitik and class analysis will be remembered as naive and unsophisticated.

Wanna specify with this I'm absolutely not making fun of/gloating about Matt Christman here, I wouldn't wish anyone (especially with a family) to go through that.

Too soon, manul. Very troubling.

For many years, mod teams and admins have used pre-populated PM links to help get things done — in subreddits, in official admin communications, and even on reddithelp.com.

Now - at least, on www.reddit in iOS Safari - those prepopulated links are broken, and clicking on any such link opens what is merely a default PM box. Addressed user or subreddit - blank. Subject & body - blank.

This breaks such things as the official method for escalating admin Safety actions in one's subreddits - https://old.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/mh85t7/how_to_seek_review_of_safety_team_actions_in_your/

As well as requesting mod suggestions for a subreddit - i.e. https://www.reddit.com/message/compose

For powerusers and advanced mods, this can be worked around by changing the url from www.reddit to old.reddit.

But, uh, someone who runs the site should check up on this.

Not a ; the soul of a gay man wakes up inside the body of a highly attractive and curvy woman. He retains all his memories and personality traits, just carried over into a female body and brain. Is it gay? Would you do it? Consider that this is essentially a woman with an extremely high s*x drive and is also willing to do anal and other freaky shit most likely.

Honestly, if you went back about 2 weeks ago it was quite rare to see posts like this as I mainly saw normie crap and coomer bait as most people did... But that's all changed now... it's a whole new Boomerbook world!
