Thread Name: BS: Gorgeous George goes West.
Subject: RE: BS: Gorgeous George goes West.
"who ran a most despicable campaign in the UK General Election to oust a black Labour MP in London's East End."

It was the same sentiment that landed Jeremy Paxman in hot water with Gorgeous George - rather than congratulate him on an election won, he tried to blame GG for singlehandedly ousting a black female politician as if it were his personal fault and the result of some private vendetta. Perhaps the people of the East End had had enough of Ms Kings' support of a war that no-one except politicians wanted. Fully half her former constituents are black, Asian or   Muslim. Maybe the voters of that constituency voted for the person they thought most suitable to get them out of that war.
