I like to think that I keep up with a lot of political stuff and usually have some idea of what is going on. But, I didn't even know that Galloway was standing in this by election. I hadn't seen anything in the main stream media about it, until he had won. OK, it's not a by election that I was following closely, but I would have thought I would have seen it mentioned somewhere along the line. If that had been Farage instead of Galloway he would have been all over the MSM for at least a fortnight. The state propaganda machine decides who are the goodies, and who are the baddies, that deserve their coverage. I don't have a lot of time for Galloway personally, but I hope he gets the chance to say things in the HoC that a lot of people would like to hear, but most MPs are scared to say.
