He's a strange guy, for sure, but seems to be a politician who has the eloquence to get elected. What the fuck he does once elected fuck alone knows.

Cheat on wives with rent boys, lose the ability to anser any question with "yes" or "no", and spend the rest of the time looking for ways to make the other's look bad.

There was a register taken of attendance in the house.
Least hours - Tony Blair. Understandable, he's head of state. Second least - a Tory back-bencher (Orpington, I think) who was undergoing cancer treatment and died mid-term.
Third - George.
Talks a good talk, whips ethnic groups up, then scoops the money.

Yeah, that's about it. It's a shame, though that their lack of integrity leads to such disillusion with politics.

The man is an idiot and will let Bradford West down, and he won't stand a chance next time round because he is so fickle.
What he HAS done, though, is enervated a very marginalised and disillusioned, disenfranchised constituency and community.
As the people who have supported him understand their direct ability to engage in a democratic process so they will learn to embrace more established stances and franchises.

I hope that people do decide to engage with the democratic process
I hae ma doots, given that they'll see through the nonsense pretty quickly. I' m afraid the "fuck it, they're all the same" argument is becoming harder and harder to refute.
Far too serious, this. Back to nonsense for me.

Ha, yer not battered. Yer bigger than a hobbit, have an IQ in double digits and there seems to be no evidence of delusons.
Also far less angry. He could power the board if we could capture that anger.

Firstly in Tower Hamlets, now in Bradford West, in targetting majority Islamic constituencies.
Admittedly Tower Hamlets is now a thoroughly corrupt farce but at least he has instituted a learning process, which is the understanding that your elders aren't necessarily your betters.

He see that Islamaphobia is rife and is trying to get a vote out of the hardline fuckers, its really that simple, not very clever at all.

The Labour candidate in Bradford West was Islamic, but was, in the vernacular, a coconut.
He milks a constituency (in all senses of the word) that through tradition, heritage and economy is ill-equipped to involve itself in a democratic process and gives it a belief in what he can do for itself.
He then goes onto X Factor, abandons his constituents, but leaves them with a greater understanding of how they can embrace a political system.
