You mentioned a guy's HIV+ status as if it was relevant. Yet you've failed to clearly explain why.

Bollocks.
It's very easy here to have interesting, thoughtful and nuanced discussions about all manner of stuff - but you won't get any of that of you simply broadcst your views, refuse to engage with others and call people 'nasty internet cunts'.
It's rather like real life in that way....

This.
The beauty of these boards being that, although the poster appeared to be making homophobic assumptions, there is ample opportunity to explain how that perception might have been misplaced.
Unfortunately, the responses thus far give the impression of an angry reaction at having been exposed.

Did you know 2: Pete Townshend played produced and played bass, under the pseudonym of Bijou Drains?
Interesting, isn't it.
The challengers can make the correct argument while fooling some into forgetting that, despite being the challenger, they are responsible for the conditions they are campaigning against.
Meanwhile Bigot Galloway will fill in your potholes with his bear hands and make sure those nasty woke types won't be able to educate your kids about reality.
I really hope he loses. I sometimes think that trumps even my desire for the Tories to fuck off. He really is a loathsome turd

O/T But Jimmy McCulloch who played guitar in Thunderclap Newman, later played in Wings with Paul McCartney from 1974-1976. He died aged 26 in 1979 from a morphine overdose.

and weirdly he'd stand a much better chance of winning this by-election than the labour candidate

Love that honky tonk pianoI didn't. I do love that track though from when I saw it on top of the pops with the man in the policeman's helmet playing piano
I've heard one respectable cover of it but I don't believe there's a better version although I shall go off and check. Eta: Tom Petty version is good but TN still my favourite.
Galloway has long been an advocate of the right to bear arms. Glad it's paying off

Some might say the result was announced on 27 May, when the writ of election was made.

Others, who believe in a deterministic universe, might say the result was inevitable as soon as the Big Bang occurred.
My hunch is that Galloway's impact is overrated - he's going for stereotypical "muslim vote" ie. foreign policy and anti-lgbt. But that's a small 10% ish of the constituents many of whom will not recognise the political stereotype. The question is how well he does on local issues and as a protest vote. I'll be surprised if he breaks 5%.
I also think the Hancock scandal will nudge the Tories into second place. The pork barrel politics that won Hartlepool don't seem to be in play here.
Having made this prediction, I may well look very foolish tomorrow. But that's my inclinations at the minute. In this scenario Starmer will probably limp on until the next general election and that more generally Labour will be finished as both a party of social democracy or government but still too large to die or to allow room for a left alternative.

They don't publish polls on the day of an election, I think it's prohibited, and possibly for a few days before as well.
