Just sent to info@stalinsociety.org.uk; info@fpp.co.uk; admin@mcb.org.uk; oliver.kamm@thetimes.co.uk; peter@petertatchell.net:
A Stalin Society member, David Irving, Daud Abdullah (we do have some Muslims here, even if not very many), Oliver Kamm, Peter Tatchell or (since he already seems to be a candidate elsewhere) someone who shares the full range of his views, and (if they bother to put her up, rather than giving Kamm a clear run) a New Labour candidate whose only political opinion is her support for partial birth abortion.
So, a gulag-denier, a Holocaust-denier, a Sharia supporter, a Bush-loving warmonger, someone who wants to lower the age of consent to 14 or even younger, and a baby-murderer. All each other's moral equals, of course.
Plus me. A passionate opponent of all of the above.
Go on. Let's make North-West Durham the most interesting parliamentary contest in England, at least, for generations. What is stopping you? The Soviet Union collapsed so quickly that much of its money cannot have been spent to this day, and must still be languishing in some London bank account. David Irving is loaded. So are the Saudis. So was Kamm even before the City was bailed out by the rest of us, not to mention that he would be the candidate of the Likud Lobby. And someone must be paying for Peter Tatchell.
I say that there is a ninety per cent chance that none of you could collect enough signatures to get onto the ballot paper. A ninety-five per cent chance that you would all lose your deposits. And a one hundred per cent chance that you would all together take fewer votes than I. Try and prove me wrong. Go on. I dare you.
After all, what are you afraid of...?

Have you written to the Labour Party about this too?
What for?
Have linked your site.

To challenge them to put up a a candidate whose only political opinion is her support for partial birth abortion. Or, alternatively, to ask them not to put up such a candidate. Whichever, really.
They are going to do that anyway.
Well, the rest of them aren't going to stand anyway, whether you ask them or not. But you're still writing to them. Why is that a worthwhile exercise, while this isn't?
You think not...?
I'm sure of it.
Based on your comment at 16:45, taht really isn't anything to go by.
You honestly think they'll bother to stand?
We'll see...
If they do, then you'll beat them. 100%, by your calculations. Therefore if they don't stand, there is simply no other reason than they don't want to get beaten. No other reason at all. Not one.
Well, I can't think of another one. It's certainly not as if they can't afford it. And it's ceratinly not as if they don't want to stop me, as my inbox makes abundantly clear.
Interesting that Celeogri can speak so authoritatively for all of the Stalin Society, David Irving, Daud Abdullah, Oliver Kamm and Peter Tatchell or one of his acolytes. What wide-ranging company he/she keeps.
And what charming company all round.
"Well, I can't think of another one. It's certainly not as if they can't afford it."
Maybe - and just going out on a limb here - it's because they really don't care much about you, or your agenda, and in any case they suspect (based on almost every election campaign run by any independent in the UK, ever) that you won't win.
That's my guess.
That's not what people are telling me...
I've noticed with growing dismay the puerile commenters on here over the last few days, commenters who haven't the wit to at least choose a fictitious but symbolic moniker.
I'm with you David and many more are...all over the country.
Pax vobiscum
I hope as many as possible of them put up in their respective constituencies. Though only one in each, please.
I met Douglas Alexander yesaterday at a conference, and I asked him about Hilary Amrstrong retiring, and about yourself. He didn't say anything too revealing, but he looked pretty uncomfortable, and I saw him and his aide tapping away into their blackberries a short time afterwards.
That's just what Douglas Alexander looks like. What does he have to look happy about?
