excellent result: build the resiatnce

Anybody who sick of labour and their abondonment of the working class will be happy with this result.
Unfortunately Tony blair will go on regardless with his attacks on the working class, his announcement to sack 100,000 civil servants, arse licking of bush, his reactionary stance on law and order, fueling the racists bigots, installing the much hated mandelson into europe , his love affair with the bosses and privatisation will continue.
However, this result and the results in leicester will give hope to many of the militants and the oppressed. It will also be a warning to those sell out careerist labour MPs that support the blair project. Pro war, Oona King MP for Tower hamlets and a junior minister to patrica Hewitt will no doubt be shitting her self come the general election. it is likely that george galloway will stand in tower hamlets next year.
there will be many MPs up and down the country who will be looking over their shoulders, they regret that they voted for war and standing by their man blair. it is up to all of us to pile on the pressure.
I urge all progresive people to throw there wieght behind the RESPECT coalition as the best way to make a stand to this rotten system.

. . . . . and lose.
Respect winning in this seat is frankly no more than what should be expected. The demographics were made for them.
The idea that Gruesome George will find a new sourse of income to pay his wife's extensive account at Chanel is laughable.

RESPECT gets left out of Ghetto

RESPECT is an organisation of activists attempting to build a real and vibrant alternative to mainstreem politics by beating the mainstreem on their strongest groud. RESPECTs result will see MORE people coming from Tower Hamlets to the ESF than if Lab/Lib had won. It will give people the confidence to know that THEIR involvement can punch Blair in the face. Its working class credentials is explained in the Guardian today, where Oli Rahman (PCS activist and new RESPECT councillor) was interviewed on his picket line about the vicory. This is the party that RESPECT is becoming. Snipping is good for shitty e-mail freeks but it doesn't challenge Blair, capitalism, war or exploitation in any way.
