Hold ya foot up, your 'questions' in your post above weren't questions, they were what you thought would happen, it didn't. 

 

Now a win isn't good enough, let me remind you, any win is a good win.

 

Do you honestly think Galloway mounting legal action will come to anything?

I did think Galloway would swing it and I'd have been pleased if he did.  Whilst I don't subscribe to his politics, I do greatly admire his tenacity, intellect and razor wit.  He's a political genius and of far higher moral calibre than the majority of current MPs.

 

Maybe in football a win is a win.  It ain't quite the same in politics though Egger.  Can the Labour vote share deficit be claimed as a victory?  Historically, opposition fare much better than sitting government in mid term elections.  Can't be said here and it also can't be said that this was anything like a traditional swing seat - it has been a Labour strong hold and now it is an "only just" in a mid term by election where Labour should have been a banker.  So yes, it's a seat but not sure Mrs Bedwetter should make herself too comfortable.

 

Only a complete fool would underestimate Galloway - ask the US Senate sub committee investigating the UN oil for food programme.

Yes, I agree with this, but you make it sound like you want Labour to fail completely, we need opposition that can bite back, don't you agree?

 

Labour really do need to get their finger out, yam saying you are in the middle doesn't help with your incorrect predictions.

Labour has never been as successful as it was under Blair's leadership but most Labour 'types' hate Blair.

 

What Labour really wanted was a Corbynesque doctrine.  It's just that the nation didn't so for as long as the likes of Macdonald, Aboot, Rayner and the rest are in the party they will never be credible.

 

Labour needs to fix itself before it can be taken seriously.

And that's going to happen with the likes of you predicting what will go on in Batley and Spen, I thought you floated about?, perhaps you do but don't really want change?

Why's that then? It's just a chunk of metal. It's not like they're potentially jeopardising other peoples lives. 
What's the point of trying to find a correlation between two different events?
 

Why’s that then ??? Is that even a serious question or is it the citizen smith getting the better of the capitalist in you. Simple Mark it’s pure and utter criminal destruction of property, you can’t pick and choose based upon your political views what you deem acceptable, if that was a crowd pulling down a statue of Mandela because of his terrorist past ive no doubt you’d be up in arms, I don’t buy into the white and right is all bad and every ethnic minority or blm supporter left of centre is good bud. Life’s a bit more complicated than that. Trudeau has been an absolute lockdown zealot for what good it achieved , well until he fancied living it up at the G7 party, including using armed police to close churches so I was surprised to see that just being allowed to happen. It’s not just a chunk of metal is it Mark, quite frankly that’s an utterly ridiculous comment.
