From Great Things To Greater?

Respect is campaigning for an elected Mayor of Tower Hamlets. Never bet against a man who, though blessed with unusual eloquence, is politically a pretty standard pro-life-Catholic of the Old Labour variety (a couple of divorces, but never mind), yet is able to win a parliamentary seat by having SWP students distribute leaflets contrasting his traditional Catholic moral views with the views of his New Labour opponent, leaflets in Bengali, a language not read by those students. Once the Egyptians let him go again, then the Mayorality of Tower Hamlets beckons for the most brazenly brilliant and brilliantly brazen political operator in Britain today.

    "a pretty standard pro-life-Catholic of the Old Labour variety"
    ...who, when I was a parish priest in his previous constituency, always sent me the extract from Hansard with his pro-life intervention in any Commons debate on life questions.

    He defended the Soviet Union. A very unrepentant individual.

    He never did any such thing. You'll have to do better than that old chestnut. I suggest you check the record of its originator - http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2010/01/03/the-kamm-scam/
