Voting Day

I woke up to find a Respect leaflet on my doormat. Too late, boys and girls! It is quite a hilarious piece of election literature.
Respect, standing for council seats, say NO to:
War (not a decision taken in the council chamer at Tower Hamlets, so totally irrelevant to this campaign)
Privatisation (again, missed the boat slightly with that one)
Sleaze (meaning financial corruption, not acting like a sleazy media whore and going on Big Brother)
But hold on a damn minute, I want to know what they are for, not what they are agin!
PEACE LOVE UNITY and having fun. Oh no wait sorry thats a song.
Here it is - PEACE HOMES SERVICES.
Great. No policy in this leaflet at all - just we are Respect - you are Muslim - vote for us. Its a bit sad but I do worry that it might well work. Again.
Galloway is a rubbish MP and the constituency suffers from his bombastic "representation". I do hope we do not end up with Tower Hamlets being run by his bunch of amateurs, a chilling mix of homophobic, radical Muslims and uber-Socialist wideboys.
They think they can dismantle the government policy on social housing by "taking on Tony Blair" in Tower Hamlets?
They can't. The only people that will suffer if the Mad Mullahs and even madder Communists take control are the locals - the people in council housing stock that need investment.
Respect are all fundamentalists. They are the worst sort of person to enter politics. Politcs is about compromise.
I am off to vote now - will update y'all later.
