I personally think and hope that everyone has woken up to this charlatan now Hope yes. Think, less confident. Like any charlatam he needs a new area. Gorton would be one.

Isn't the Hall Green thing related to local biraderi (?) politics?

There are five seats in Penzance I know Pete, I was referring to those that bore the Penzance name in the title for short-hand purposes, but my point remains the same - after a while, parties become mainstream. I think that the Faulkner brand for UKIP is unfortunate to have missed out on the Cornwall surge, even the left-wing UKIP candidates of the Shore family weren't able to help in Promenade, Newlyn and Mousehole (and a couple of miles away in Ludgvan). Gulval and Heamor would have been equally disappointing for UKIP given what happened elsewhere.

It would be fun if Galloway were to be foolish enough to stand for re-election in Bradford West (instead of carpetbagging to somewhere else) and be heavily defeated instead of not bothering to stand.

Isn't the Hall Green thing related to local biraderi (?) politics? Yes, very much so, although a little less than the old Sparkbrook and Small Heath. Hall Green is less homogenous, but that adds layers of complexity. Galloway made some fairly frequent appearances and was very popular, especially with younger people. The party branding is less important than you'd think. The main people who might look at it are the "radical" white voters of Kings Heath and the middle-class Muslim vote of Hall Green. Of course, with the right candidate Labour would walk it, I can't help feeling that might have to be an outsider.

I reckon that he is running out of people who will buy it though, except for those whose world view is shaped by conspiracy theories. Sadly, there are more of them than I can comfortably come to terms with. You suspect a conspiracy?

It should be no surprise that I'm a big fan of Mr. Galloway...

Could only survive in an open democracy... but just the sort to nip such democracy in the bud if ever himself in charge. Dangerous, unpleasant and rather dim.

I would disagree with your last point Carlton, he has proved to be a stayer, not normally a characteristic of the dim... but yes Dangerous and unpleasant.

As far as I can see it seems just that it took me 8 hours to respond to your with my Glasgow? Although they'd definitely gone off him by 2011.

There are few issues that seem to unite us all on here...loathing for Galloway is a sure-fire winner.

I hope no MP dies at any point soon, but were an honourable member to fall under a bus or the like in the coming weeks, I think we should just ask Galloway, Griffin, Icke, Kilroy, the lot of them, to stand against each other. An ultimate electoral wig-out
