It just proves what I and others have said all along. That Respect was an absurd alliance between the massive ego of Galloway and militant and self interested Muslim groups on the one hand and the Trotskyite remnants of the SWP and other red riffraff in the other. With such diverse views on womens rights and gay issues, it is no wonder it all fell apart.
In Birmingham Respect is the party of the militant and noisy Islamic Front.
