There is one constituency contest which dwarfs all others in its importance; that of Bethnal Green and Bow. Given the demographic make up of the area, the aptly named Respect (apt, since its candidate in Bethnal Green and Bow, George Galloway, repeatedly demonstrated that he had the utmost respect for Saddam Hussein) have targeted it as a potential victory.

It is imperative that Respect is beaten and that Oona King wins. The impact on community relations if Galloway wins would be catastrophic - far, far worse than that of the BNP council by-election victory in 1993.

The component parts of Respect, the SWP and MAB, are already piling in to the area. Ms King - who in this instance stands as the candidate of decency - needs to be supported on the ground to help counter the Respect threat. If you have time to help, do please contact her office on 020 7729 6682
