With Respect

George Galloway could have written all but the purely biographical of these 10,000 words, and he has never formally resigned as one of my Campaign Patrons. When that link is expanded into a pamphlet for publication, as it very soon will be, then he will be named in that pamphlet as a Patron of my Campaign unless he has specifically told me otherwise.

Since last January, George has objected to the fact that I was intending to stand against a Corbynite MP. Well, she may or may not be the Labour candidate, and I could not care less. I am going to be standing for this seat against all comers. But George is now standing against a Corbynite Labour candidate at Peterborough, so that takes care of that.

And I am very glad that he is. Both in this hung Parliament and in the next one, we need our people to hold the balance of power. It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post. I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
