ALL that anger, the foot-stomping virtue-signalling from across the political spectrum, just because a newly elected young fellow from Manchester has apparently done very well for himself. I can only put it down to rank jealousy and cowardly suspicions. So come on, all you planet-saving holier-than-thous, get it off your chest. Come clean.
You don’t really give a flying fig over the hypocrisy of newly elected Green councillor Mohammed Baghdadi ‘Baggy’ Khan rolling up to Bolton Council offices in a £200k Lamborghini Huracán Spyder (estimated miles per gallon 16-18). Here he is in all his glory:
You don’t really care that he figuratively chokes a polar bear cub to death every time he puts his foot to the floor on the M61, do you?
After all, the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions were 2.8 per cent up in 2025 notwithstanding Ed Miliband’s fanatical idiocy; global CO2 outputs were up again, as they are every year with China, India, Brazil and pretty much every economically aspirational nation powering ahead on the back of gas, coal and oil-powered endeavours.
Then again, it’s ever more clear that the Climate Change Con is collapsing by the day. Even the politically credulous Greens attract more support by rooting for Palestine, men in frocks and legalising drugs, than they do appealing to David Attenborough fans. So what, if a callow 25-year-old decided to show off this bright orange Lambo over his ‘day’ car, reportedly a humble Mercedes (and you just know it won’t be a ‘humble’ Mercedes) complete with personalised plates.
Just like his council tax-dodging boss, the breast-boosting Zack Polanski, Councillor Baggy Khan of Bolton’s Halliwell ward understands that the rules have two elements to them – to be followed in perpetuity by the mugs you lure to the polling station, and adhered to by you only until the results are in.
I must confess, the faux outrage over Baggy’s gas guzzler cranks my handle far more than the fact that he, like possibly every Muslim mercenary – sorry, candidate – elected under the Green Party’s flag of convenience, could give a tuppenny toss about saving the planet. They want to own it, folks, not scrub it clean! It’s a convenient means to an end, an association that will have about as much longevity as my squeaking, rattling 20-year-old motor.
So let’s get to the point here, the unspoken question that’s getting under the skin of every single foot-stomping virtue-signaller: how does a 25-year-old with no publicly declared assets, and a brief ‘Not Applicable’ declaration alongside the employment column in Bolton Council’s Register of Interests, find the moolah to fund a £200k motor, with a tasty Merc for back-up? He has said he ‘helps’ with a family business but suggests it has ‘no financial benefit’.
What do you think . . . or rather, what do your nasty little borderline-racist suspicions suggest to you? That popular young community activist Baggy might be casually involved in some form of cash-rich, transactional activities? Tut-tut. Maybe he’s a very successful poker player, or perhaps it’s as simple as a lottery win?
Or perhaps, just perhaps, if show-off young south Asian men of Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale and the western Pennine towns are anything like their counterparts in districts of similar demographics on the Yorkshire side of the Big Hill, it’s customary to splash out on ultra-high-end rental motors for a day or two by way of celebration?
It would indeed be a hoot if Councillor Baggy Khan had the last laugh over his horde of critics. But if he really does own the luxury motors, the young man may well be facing uncomfortable scrutiny even as he settles in for his first council meeting. Although on second thoughts, as both a Muslim and a Green, perhaps he’s above the inquisitive scope of the legacy media, let alone HMRC and the police.
