Respect is cursed....says Galloway

Respect faces “oblivion” it is also moribund; weak; exhausted; amateur, mismanaged; unhealthy, irresponsible- George Galloway also suggests that his SWP “allies” are corrupt (giving internal Party jobs to political pals), interferes in internal elections and not pulling their weight in Council elections. He also gives the green light to the homophobes in Respect by condemning efforts to get Muslim Respect Councillors to attend the Gay Pride festival.
Read it for yourself on the Socialist Unity blog, the 8 page letter that the Gorgeous one wrote to Respect’s National Council.

Just back home from “post election” curry and chin wag at Zeera Restaurant, Mile End. Delicious as usual.
Ah, received a text from usually very reliable source at the election count at Town hall. Not looking that good at the moment to be honest. At 00:40 Respect on 1400 votes and Labour on 900.
Business Candidates Split Respect

I do favour trade unionism. We need all the trade we can get, so we have to help them.
So says business wing Respect candidate, Harun Miah, for the Shadwell by-election, Tower Hamlets, when interviewed about his views in the recent Workers Weekly article entitled Respect - the party for everybody. The by-election is this Thursday 9 August.
It is quite clear that Harun hasnt a clue what trade unions are about he seems to think we are some type of trade body?
It gets even more farcical when Harun reflects upon a certain sensitive subject that many on the left traditionally hold strong views about.

Yesterday there was an outdoor rally for Labour Candidate Michael Keith in the Shadwell by-election, Tower Hamlets. The rally took place in the garden area adjacent to the Battle of Cable Street Mural (see main photo) painted on the side of St Georges Town Hall.

If you look at the Tower Hamlets Council web site tonight and check the details for the elected Councillors in Shadwell ward, you will notice that there are now only 2 councillors instead of the 3 listed previously. Rumour mill has it that Respect Councillor, Shamim Ahmed Chowdhury, (who got the highest vote for diss-respect in the ward) has resigned not only as a Councillor but also as a member of Respect. There is apparently a “hot” press release out somewhere.
