Still catching up... election

Couldn't stay in the house over election night- in need of distraction- but I arrived home at approx 5 am to learn the delayed result that George G had won out over Oona King in Bethnal Green and Bow. Then had to sit through some disgusting racist crap by Tony Banks, followed by an interview of GG by Paxman that should go down in history as the worst ever. It's on the BBC website if anyone needs to review it- disgusting, biased, bad-humoured, childish. I went to bed at 6.30 am hoping for an hour of slow wave sleep before dragging myself out for an early start at work, but slept right through the alarm. My colleague M covered for me, but I was very, very, very bad to do this.

There were also good showings for several other anti-war candidates (Reg Keys, Craig Murray, Salma Yaqoob etc), well documented elsewhere. Sadly, Rose Gentle lost her deposit against Adam Killgram, but it's more important to be right than to win. Give it time. She still has the option to take a private prosecution against Tony Bliar for his illegal war against Iraq, which killed her son Gordon. Impeach Blair, prosecute him and make him pay.
