79 Weeks On

Nominations have been closed for 79 weeks, so when is the election?

If I sought election to any other public position now, then I would rapidly find myself just another death in custody, especially under a Starmer or post-Starmer Government, and most especially if Labour had also taken back control of Durham County Council next year.

But I was a public governor of County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust from 2017 to 2020, having been elected unopposed, an extremely unusual occurrence. Unopposed among the 90,000 or more people in the part of County Durham that I was elected to represent. I failed to be re-elected by three votes, on a recount. Yet I was again elected unopposed well over a year ago, a double feat that I am not aware that anyone else has ever managed, and which has caused the position to be kept vacant ever since. I am determined to have it for at least as long as I was elected to it. Do your worst. As, now under both parties, you are already doing to far better than I.

  1. From 19:28 to 20:02 on the below video of Piers Morgan Uncensored, George Galloway slates the modern Left as anti-freedom and pro war, says the modern Right is closer to his views than the Left and admits he now identifies with the US Republicans.

    Extraordinary interview. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pPGQUp0T1sE&pp=ygUVZ2FsbG93YXkgcGllcnMgbW9yZ2Fu

    1. George has been saying all of this for years. And I doubt that the GOP has signed up to Modern Monetary Theory.
