Galloway Victory. posted by Richard Seymour
Victory.
GALLOWAY WINS!! A brilliant series of Respect results, including 21% for Abdul Mian and 20% for Lindsey German has been capped by a Galloway win in Bethnal Green and Bow. The slanders, the ballot fraud, the lies - none of it worked. Respect has an MP, and some unprecedented results for a new party. It has arrived. The Greens can lick their lips with envy, while Veritas, UKIP and the BNP can cordially fuck off. On top of all this, a brilliant result for Craig Murray and a fantastic one for Reg Keys. Then add the drama at Blaneau Gwent, where the Independent socialist candidate beat the Blairite with a 40% swing. And I must admit, I am not in the least unhappy that Labour have lost core seats to the Lib Dems on massive swings.
Anyway. For a while, I shall be rubbing the faces of Nick Cohen, Johann Hari, David "I give them a year" Aaronovitch and Harry's Place in the shit. Smell it, you fuckers, and feel this hate.
