Why no boycott?
When the Freedom Party rose to power in Austria, there were widespread calls for Austria to be boycotted. When Colorado voted to pass an amendment revoking existing gay rights legislation and prohibiting the drafting of any new such laws, there were calls for a boycott. When Derek Beackon won Isle of Dogs for the BNP there were similar calls.
George Galloway and his Respect SWP-front party are as odious as any of the above. If it was right to advocate a boycott in the above instances (and I'm not saying it was, merely that there were many who did), could someone explain to me, please, why there will not be any such calls for a boycott of Bethnal Green and Bow?
