You can't knock his ability to get elected.
Hi TheDisappointed, how's stuff?

That was a real fish-in-barrel result though
Bradford West was always Labour. Marsha Singh was an OK MP who stood down because he's got huge health problems, hence the by-election.

Labour, in their wisdom, put up the epitome of Machieavellian politics - a candidate with no fixed integrity - on the basis that it's a primarily Islamic constituency and he was of Islamic origin.

They'll know better next time.

I'm very fine, Mr Bartleby, thank you. How you?

I don't think they will know better next time.
Gorgeous George will get in again so long as he stays off the telly.

I'm uber busy. Doing stuff for big projects. Working on the Crossrail station at the memoent. Somebody had the great idea of building a station under water. Our 16th anniverasry tomorrow, I can hardly believe that anybody would want to be with me that long. Good job we don't live together, as it would only have lasted a month.

I don't think he will
He's already managed to antagonise the other three Bradford MPs - three different parties - and there'll be a united, strong front against him at the Generals.

Marc Brunel built a station under water in the late 1860's - what's yer problem?

And as for anniversaries - I meet my ex-wife every few months and have a huge laugh. Getting married to my best drinking/other substances mate was - we now both agree - the silliest mistake we ever made. Keep up the distance if it works.
