There is not a prayer of the Tories doing anything in Leigh. The problem is that leigh is part of the constituency! 😆 Lowton east is strong for the conservatives and there is a reasonable vote in Astley Mosley Common. Labour miles ahead in most other areas (though Tyldesley is not a safe labour ward compared to the leigh wards). |

Have you ever been to Leigh? Do you know it's politics? No chance of a Conservative victory at all. I've been to paradise, but I've never been to Leigh. Lynda Lee Potter was from Leigh. |

The winning vote here of 7,853 votes is the lowest since the 7,451 votes for the winner of the Hodge Hill by-election in 2004.

I will just say that your avatar is an odd one for someone supposedly "mourning the death of British Liberalism". Whatever things may be said about the MP for Birkenhead - and there are many - "liberal" isn't usually near the top of anybody's list |

I understand the jury in the Barbara Fielding-Morris case were was due to retire today.
The press coverage is a bit confused but she appears to "despise Jewish people", thinks 95% of British people are "mentally retarded" (she is one of the 5%), and Hitler was "justified in gassing Jews".
Which is unpleasant, stupid and possibly evidence of mental instability.
But probably shouldn't be illegal per se.
IMO

Guilty on three charges. Not guilty on a fourth.
Her closing remarks to the Jury were "Don't mind if you find me guilty as I've done my best to save you from extinction".

Anyone remember Dowager Lady Birdwood? They eventually found her unfit to plead.
