Why shouldn't Mr Siddique be given the opportunity to refute the allegations? I agree that the internet in the form of message boards like this has changed the way the world works because threads like this would at one time merely have been gossip between people down the pub or in the launderette or something, drift off into the air and been forgotten but now they remain for all to read, and I mean ALL. These pages can be seen not just by the forum members but by anyone who has access to a computer. So yes, it does change the way things are because once allegations are online they become available to many more people than would overhear a conversation in the local.

If the rumours are true then Mr Siddique is an incredibly unpleasant person and not one we would want to be seen as representative of our borough.
