Manchester: Respect Beats Monster Raving Looney Party!
Showed Raving Loonies What’s What.
All left-wing eyes are on Manchester where Respect’s Catherine Higgins (182 votes, 1,1%) unexpectedly beat the Monster Raving Looney Party’s Howling Laud Hope (78 votes, 0,5%).
It’s onwards and upwards for Britain’s fastest disintegrating political party.

Catherine Higgens, who supports the 9/11 ‘truth’ campaign, could not be contacted at the time of writing.
Update. National Respect issued the following statement,
This brilliant result shows that if you want change in Britain vote for Respect. Catherine Higgens has shown that nowhere is safe for the Monster Raving Loony Party. Yvonne Ridely and George Galloway are at present recording a rap, “do the Taliban mash”. Watch out Rotherham, we’re coming!
Delighted to see the Communist League has maintained its consistently mind-boggling performance…

Er, who on earth are the Communist League- they the telephone box congress crew that bought up the Pathfinder franchise?

They are indeed the Pathfinder lot, although I hear that Brian Grogan is now teaching in the USA at a private school for genteel young ladies.

Most amusing. Seeing the terms “Brian Grogan” and “genteel young ladies” in the same sentence is , well, you know………

A sub headline on one of the leaflets put out by RESPECT in Manchester Central contains the prophetic and memorable, ungrammatical, phrase
“A vote that everyone will take notice of”
