Private consulting practice

As discussed above, the link given to Ansar's private consulting practice, Ansar Consulting, is no longer active. A google search shows that it exists as an entity in social media: on twitter as @AnsarConsulting, and; on facebook as Ansar Consulting. A search in companies records shows that Ansar Consulting Ltd was forcibly dissolved on 26th February 2013^[2] and had never submitted documentation since its incorporation on 15 July 2011^[3]. Additionally, a previous limited company, also named Ansar Consulting Ltd^[4] was incorporated 18 August 2008, and forcibly dissolved 26 March 2010^[5]. This earlier incarnation had also failed to submit the required documentation^[6].
Ansar has held, in total, three directorships^[7] since July 2008: two incarnations of Ansar Consulting Ltd, and; his first with a company named Securum Ltd^[8], which he co-directed with Mr Shahid Zeeb^[9] and Mr Jabraan Azlam^[10].
Securum Ltd was forcibly dissolved on 2 March 2010 and had never filed the required documents^[11]. Ansar's co-director Shahid Zeeb had, for two days in March 2008, been a co-director of Hanson Leisure Ltd, a retailer of "alcoholic & other beverages"^[12]. Ansar's other co-director Jabraan Azlam^[13], was one of the six Khan Line drug gang members arrested on 6 June 2011^[14]. On 26 March 2012, Azlam was sentenced to four years^[15] for his involvement in the Khan Line drug gang^[16].

Community Organiser

The reference to support claim that Mohammed Ansar is a community organiser leads to a different Mohammed Ansar who lives in Oldham, not the Mohammed Ansar originating from Watford and now living in Hampshire. The Oldham-based Mohammed Ansar was more recently quoted in the following reference^[17]. The original claim to be a community organiser, along with its misleading reference, has thus been removed.
