Landon Class War:We Did Not Vote for This!

Class War readers with relatively long memories will
recall a predictable pattern at each general election.
recall a predictable pattern at each general election.
Firstly the far-left would call on people to vote
Labour. Then 6-12 months later, and the Labour party
having failed to introduce socialism and abolish
capitalism, the exact same bunch of jokers would run
around complaining "We did not vote for this".
The reality though was that they did vote for "this"
and worse, encouraged others to do so.
By the time of the 2005 general election, even the
UK's last century left had caught on to the fact that
socialism and new Labour were incompatable. Given
this, much of the fast decaying left in Britain
gathered around the Respect Unity Coalition (RUC) or
as it appeared on ballot papers, the Respect Unity
Coalition (George Galloway)
Respect's pitch was aimed at what was left of the old
white middle class left, and to the Muslim community
in certain areas of east London and Birmingham. George
Galloway subsequently got elected to parliament, after
a particularly divisive campaign in Bethnal Green and
Bow.
History however, has a habit of repeating itself.
Given his behaviour on the gameshow Big Brother (see
picture above) we wonder how many of Galloway's
constituents are now sitting at home muttering to
themselves "We didn't vote for this!"......
