The nineteenth winner of the weekly "No shit Sherlock" award

This goes to Anne Cryer MP for saying that whilst politicians in areas with high Muslim populations, many of which are Labour heartlands, should be at the forefront of the campaign to stop young couples being made to wed against their will by their families, some politicians are afraid to speak out on the issue in case they alienate Muslim voters. Anne Cryer added that local Muslim leaders are not doing enough to encourage integration and she accused them of trying to keep immigrants who move to Britain "in the backwoods".

Mrs Cryer also said: "There still is a nervousness to talk about this, especially those MPs in constituencies affected by these issues... They should be fighting on the front line, but they are the ones keeping quiet on the issue because they don't want to lose votes."
