I can't help but laugh at how political parties have recently been using popular culture, particularly The X-Factor, to the get their message across. The Tories last night jumped on The X-Factor bandwagon by launching a poster portraying prime minister Gordon Brown and Chancellor Alastair Darling as the act Jedward , who were voted off the show last night. The photo shopped pictures of Brown and Darling...

I think it's absolutely appalling that so much time was spent on the publcity hungry Katie Price interview on her leaving the jungle, not leaving enough...
Freelance photographer James Young is on the hunt for leading journalists and freedom of speech campaigners who will agree to be pictured with their ‘Dream Headline’ as part of a project of the same name. Young has already persuaded journalists Sally Murrer and Nick Davies, as well as director of Liberty Shami Chakrabarti; MP George Galloway; [...]
Warren's all up in a tizzy . Why? Well, apparently he doesn't like the Ignatieff Libs' non-anti-semitism being called into question by the CPC . Fair enough, I suppose, but rather odd considering that back before the Ignatieff days Warren was saying much the same thing. Even odder that he can remember enough to quote from one of his books, but not enough to quote from his own blog on a subject that...
Barack Obama has talked about 'respect' on his Asian tour, but risks getting into a muddle over its meaning After respectfully bowing to the emperor of Japan last week, President Obama travelled on to China where both countries agreed that "the fundamental principle of respect for each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity" was at the core of China-US relations. Obama is big on respect....
As we behold the great offense taken today by Mr. Del Mastro on the subject matter of his girth , let us recall a classic moment in which Mr. Del Mastro did not hesitate to challenge a fellow MP on totally baseless grounds. This moment occurred in the summer on CTV's Power Play in a panel discussion wherein Mr. Del Mastro proceeded to suggest that Liberal MP Martha Hall Findlay was guilty of being...

Every so often the state of the far left makes you wonder why you bother. First we have the Glasgow North East by-election. I think everyone's seen the breakdown of the results by now. If not, there's plenty of comment at Socialist Unity. Needless to say, a contest where you have three socialist candidates scrapping for micro percentages doesn't suggest socialist politics is a serious business. It...
I didn’t want to post for a while, but after reading a truly appalling post at Socialist Unity blog by Ger Francis, I felt I had to comment. The body of the Francis’ article is about a meeting held by George Galloway in Birmingham, but as I am not terribly interested in him or his views [...]
Well I am told that George Galloway made a point of backing Peter Tatchell at the General Election. That will be news to some people. An emergency motion to support a new left coalition, nick named 'Son of NO2EU' currently supported by the CPB and the Socialist Party and Bob Crow was defeated. More when I get it, I am very much looking forward to getting to Birmingham at some point and supporting Salma...
David Dimbleby will miss Question Time tonight for the first time in 15 years after an unfortunate accident involving his wife’s bullock. The press statement reads: David Dimbleby will not be chairing Question Time this week – the first he has missed in over 15 years – but he will return next week. John Humphrys will temporarily take the chair tonight. David Dimbleby was injured yesterday...
Very laudable conference I thought but then when I read the list of people who were attending and what they all said, I was gobsmacked. Why do these buggers invite these loons? When will they learn that to hear that kind of drivel makes one feel sympathy for inhabiting the shallow end of the global human gene pool? Sad, very sad. Here are some examples: He said that he followed the opinion of George...

Commenters here sometimes wonder why Harry’s Place continues to devote so much attention to the activities of George Galloway. Surely, they say, he has been thoroughly discredited. Nobody takes him seriously anymore. If only. According to an enthusiastic report by Ger Francis at Socialist Unity: For those involved in Palestinian solidarity in Birmingham, its university has long felt [...]
George Galloway has joined Tommy Sheridan on the campaign trail in Glasgow North East. Well all I can say is this blog wishes a good result for Tommy in tomorrow's by-election. And great that he has the support of George Galloway. I think myself I can say I differ with George on independence. And so does Tommy. But Tommy Sheridan is on record as saying socialists are allowed to differ. But more importantly...
