Hamlets and Bradford East at this election. Lots of postal votes, I'd imagine.

'During the hearing, the court heard evidence from a handwriting expert that hundreds of ballot papers carried marks suggesting they could have been filled out by the same person.'

Not least from evil Mensch who has reported him for a breach of sect 106 of the representation of people act.

Strangely though, she's been rather quiet on Grant "Michael Green" Shapps' conduct which has led him to be reported too.

It's the same breach of the same act.

shortage of others ready to do it. My point is that not highlighting Shapps' alleged misdemeanours in no way invalidates her point about Galloway's.

You do seem to struggle with this really quite simple and fundamental point, j.

And, given that Mensch is a tory and they have less chance than UKIP in winning that seat, and that Galloway smeared his Labour rival I'm not sure what GG's campaign has got to do with her either.

The point was her seemingly genuine collegiate, feminist spirit has evaporated almost overnight, even when Shapps has smeared many of her close female colleagues.

Right you are, j. Logical, reasoned and entirely non-partisan as ever.

The real point is that it doesn't actually matter.
