George,I dont think that we should celebrate George Galloway's victory with the Respect Party in Bradford,this result shows the further erosion of Britain to Johnny Foreigner.Ivan said he won by 10.000 votes so how many votes did he poll.99.9% of these votes will be of Pakistani,****** origen.
Gorgeous George loves the ****** people so he would be a cert to get in in any ****** area,his last constituancy was Bethnal Green another ****** stronghold.He runs the food convoy's to Palastine under the banner VIVA PALASTINA.
Regards.

I agree Jim, why would anyone (but each to his own) want to celebrate a George Galloway victory, the man is so Anti-British it is unbelievable. He only chooses seats where there is a non indigenous majority. His main aim his to disrupt any British Government irrespective of party, he panders to the immigrant vote so that he can gain power for his own ends and not for the good of the country. He is a powerful speaker (so was Hitler) extolling the virtues of immigrants, both legal and illegal and I acknowledge that some immigrants are beneficial to our country, Galloway's agenda is for his own ends and not for the benefit of his perceived constituents. At least the Green Party, whether or not you can remember their names have the interests of the whole country at heart, even if their policies are at times, or seem to be a little naive.
Just because we maybe anti-Tory or anti-Labour is no reason to accept the lowest common denominator.
But that's all I've got to say on the subject, as usually I do not get involved in politics around the messroom or saloon tables. It wasn't the fact that Galloway won that annoyed me it was the lack of backbone of the news media pointing out that Galloway had his face imprinted on the Iraqi flag colours and they were all hung over the town, this alone should show the measure of the man.

Alex Salmond is going to destroy the SNP vote the same as the "Iron Lady" destroyed the Tory vote in Scotland. Being a Scot, I am proud that a Scottish king James VI of Scotland also became James Ist of England in 1603. This enabled the Crowns of Scotland and England to be united. James also decreed that the Royal Title would use the term "Great Britain" to refer to the "one imperial crown" made up of Scotland and England. James was also the first Stewart king to rule over Scotland and England. He ruled Scotland for 58 years and England for 22 years. My gt,gt,gt grandfather was John Stewart of Balquhidder. He was a direct line ancestor of Robert II. The Scots not being silly will vote to maintain a United Kingdom. Unlike Mr Salmond, I don't agree with his crazy idea of giving 16 year olds the right to vote just to suit his own needs. We elect politicians to give us the laws of the land, yet eight in ten laws now come from abroad. Nowadays our borders are left wide open, allowing thousands of illegal immigrants to live here in our country without trace. This country is going crazy, look at the panic over fuel at the present time. To be honest, I think the best idea for myself would be to build a shack on the slopes of Ben Vorlich and live the life of a hermit for the rest of my days. Maybe John Callon could do likewise and head for the slopes of Ben Lomond. In my opinion, the craziest people in the UK are the general public who put up with it all. Long may the Union Flag fly throughout Great Britain.

Jim, Ivan, My appologies if I have mislead you in my last post. George Galloway is as you say anti British, and to say the least very essentric. My main point is he isn't a Tory, Liberal, or Labour, the very parties that have systematicaly brought this once Great Nation of ours to our knees. Resently we accused the chancelor of robing the pensioners to pay the rich tax cuts, wasen't it Gordon Brown as chancelor that robed us of some of the subsadies to our pensions when he was chanselor . What has either of the two main Parties done to halt the imigration to this Island, is it not the same two Parties that have pandered to the PC brigade, so that now we are no longer able to say what we think for fear of the courts. and what did either of the two Parties do while British industries like our MN, Ship Building, Steel Works etc, etc, folded, Lads I am sure you could add to the the Companies that have folded while the two main Parties have sat on there backsides doing nothing but pay lipservice to the problems, and paying themselfs scandulas amounts of money in expenses, drinking and eating in there subsidised canteen and Bar, payed for by us the tax payers. There is why I am happy to see one less sat in the House. Not becouse I like George Galloway, I don't. Just hope this explains what I was getting at in my earlier post

it's maybe we do need the likes {and i am sorry to say} a different party altogether to tell the EU to stick there silly little rules up their ar.es we are an island stop the dross from dropping their hooks here and living of us through stupid loopholes in the immigration laws that they has dropped on us. having just watched a program on the roman empire there is an uncanny resemblance on then and now? it only needs one country to drop out and i think it would be like a house of cards but no one is willing to start the ball rolling? just my view.john

Thank you George for clarifying your situation, it is appreciated. Unfortunately Mr Galloway will not be a benefit to the system because he has come under scrutiny in the past for (alleged) mis-appropriation of Parliamentary funds, seems they cannot help themselves, no matter what party they belong to. What he will bring to the house is lively debates but they will all be anti British and probably bring the House into more disrepute than it currently enjoys.
Again thanks for the clarification, it is appreciated
Regards Ivan

Talikng about VAT on hot pies, what is the temperature of a hot pie when it is cool enough not to pay tax or what is the temperature of a cold pie when it is warm enough to pay tax, there has to be an interface temperature, Or you may be a tax dodger or a tax payer of a hot pie when it should be cool enough not to pay tax.
I think.
Cheers
Brian.

Poor old Simple Simon, will he now buy the pie from the pieman on the way to the fair, or will he wait until the pieman gets to the fair and all the pies are cold or sold, and what about Georgie Porgie and his pies, and what about the four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie, does the Government not realise how many childrens stories they are throwing into a quandry, what do parents now tell their children!
and will the drunken seamen who get pizzed and pie eyed get charged extra VAT, it's all too much for me, makes you want to vote for the Monster Raving Looney Party
