Springburn is crawling with lowlifes! Result is insignificant.
in Glasage they bring their kids up on drugs and knives.
Voting Liar party is a proxy for having to stab rich kids to steal their money. Thats why the** round there vote the way they do

20,000 votes and that is a third of the electorate! That seems a very small constituency. Are people leaving Glasgow in their droves?
But it is still a good result for Labour, they are not totally dead yet.

Pretty disappointing result for the SNP. though have to admit the candidate was not ideal, didn't really pass the 'is our muppet better than the other muppets' test. Takes a lot to break that indian reservation mentality, paleface bring heap big benefit cheque.
One ray of light is the lack of movement for the BNP; a constituency with highest unemployment in Scotland, highest proportion of asylum seekers, previous incumbent resigned because he was up to his nuts in the expenses scandal and they couldn't keep their deposit. Another appearance on QT by Griffin might finish them off for good.

So under 20% of those eligible to vote went for the Liars golden trough.
A ringing endorsement.

High levels of immigrants is the root cause of Labours unpopularity these days, and they havent a got a problem with it up there, except for some asylum seekers that theyve had dumped on them..
They certainly dont like Tories or the Lib Dems, and neither do I.

An area where nobody can read or write, nobody has a job or two parents, everybody is an alcoholic drug addict with a life expectancy of 34......
Yet they vote (well 33% of them who could be bothered) to maintain the status quo.
A ringing endorsement of Labour's clientele and the desperate state of Scotland, a match made in heaven. The sooner England is shot of both of them the better.

A huge generalisation but....if you've seen the new MP on telly...what were your 1st impressions?
Blackburn,
An area where nobody can read or write, nobody has a job or two parents, everybody is an alcoholic drug addict with a life expectancy of 34......
You do yourself no favours by posting such sh1te, i see you're now a fan of Dave so perhaps the low tory vote has upset you, dont worry Dave will be on the news soon explaining what a great result it was for your mob.

BB that's good for Blackie, he doesn't have to base his opinions on facts like most other people.
He can make his own up as he goes along.

A fan of Dave? You should read what I post bentley, I've said I'm going to vote for him once just to rid us of Brown then its UKIP for me.
And incidentally bentley, thanks for your concern but I'm not here to do anybody favours, merely to point out that the only people that will still vote for labour are those described in my original post.
I notice that your much dreamed of left wing party did well by the way.

Ah "little englander" the last resort of the terminally dim and the Scots
Nearly a third of working age constituents in Glasgow North East are on benefits according to the Department for Work and Pensions.
The rate of people claiming Jobseeker's Allowance is the highest in Scotland at 7.2% of the workforce.
'Socially deprived'
About 9,000 people - one sixth of potential workers - are claiming incapacity benefit or severe disablement allowance, the second highest rate in the UK after Liverpool Riverside.
According to John Curtice, professor of politics at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow North East is "one of the most socially deprived, if not the most socially deprived, parts of Scotland".
The Red Road flats became "landmarks of deprivation"
In the 2001 census, nearly half of people in Glasgow Springburn said they did not have any educational qualifications - the fourth highest figure in the UK - and almost two thirds said they had no car - second only to neighbouring Shettleston.
About 45% said they had a "limiting long-term illness" and the constituency remains among the worst in Scotland for smoking and crime.
OK I exaggerated a bit, but we're getting the message about the type of person that appeals to Labour and vice versa

Blackburn,
First you make an idiotic statement, then you produce the stats to confirm your idiocy. Well Done
:^0 :^0 :^0

Thanks bentley, keep believing like the rest of the sheep
That labour won is no suprise , but to win by 8000 votes is astonishing in a by election . Bodes ill for the SNP in a general election .
All those people out of work
yet the nasty torys could not even win the seat
What chance have got in a general election lol

blackburn-quite right-turkeys dont vote for Christmas.
Now pass that Special Brew.

I find it unbelievable that anyone is taking this seat seriously. There are Tory seats around the country (especially south) that will always be Tory whatever..................the logic of Lampus and others is that these seats are a rejection of Labour. Marginals will decide the next election and the end of Labour.
The problem with the tories quite frankly.....is Dave.
A huge vote loser.

yep, Bottler cameron has lost the plot
get on labour quick

Polls mean nothing in mid term you silly numpty
Mid term? its been for 2 years or more you fool.
I've told you sheep before, this election is where you achieve financial independence at the prices available

You've said that Cameron is a liability to the tories, this is a betting site, fill ya boots and you'll be rich in 6 months or so.

You've met blackburn then :D
Lower unemployment in Scotland than England and a dozen constiuencies in England with higher unemployment than Glasgow North East, so not much room for parochial complacency.
Shouldn't draw too many conclusions from this bye election for the GE in Scotland let alone the UK, though I have a nasty feeling that the Lib Dems are going to get squeezed.

Blackie, you are going to vote Tory in order to get Labour out, fair enough.
Then you intend switching to the UKIP, but how can you switch once you have voted?
You'll have played your hand and your vote was all you'd got to play with.

If you're ever in doubt whether an area is a dump or not just check whether it has a Labour MP. Then to work out just how much of a dump it is just check the size of the Labour majority. 8000+ and you may as well be in Somalia.
If people dont vote for the smaller parties, it will always be a choice between the Tories and the Labour for eternity.
With labour on the ropes and the Tories only picking up votes as protest against Labour, surely this is UKIPs big chance to make an impact.

Clearly we Tories are in deep trouble - the polls are all wrong - OMG!
Labour win in a third world area full of stupid people, shock. Oh look the Tories are still 1/12.

hahaha deluded fvcking sweaties

Of course Somalia could be coming to you if you vote Labour according to recent immigration reports !

Westminster already dances to a Scottish tune...Scotland is well represented and well treated by Westminster.
One of the most deprived areas in the UK consisting largely of 'state benefit dependent clients' decides to vote Labour.....and the surprise here is what exactly?, a dustbin full of dog sh*t with a red rosette would win in Glasgow NE.
Its a completely insignificant result, Brown can stockpile votes in these constituencies until the end of time but I'll still be catapulting him over Hadrian's wall come next May.

Amazing isnt it how all the by-election losses were not the end of the world and not a vote against brown.
However this victory is followed by the entire cabinet coming out and saying this win is a ringing endorsement of Gordon Brown.
Couldnt make it up

Absolutley correct. Crewe and Nantwich "just a by-election"
It is heartening to see that an openly gay candiadte can come third in such an area. Well done Ruth Davidson and I hope she is given the chance to fight a more winnable seat in future.
The pleasing result provides us with hope that our worst nightmare will not be realised come spring.
It is also indicative of a massive hit taken to the SNP's popularity recently. Which is pleasing. Not that I give a damn whether Scotland devolves or not, but Salmond is an insufferable little pr*ck.
This result proves beyond all doubt that the only places worth living in this sceptic Isle are those that return a Tory MP. White, prosperous, law abiding and decent people.
Like the majority of the country used to be before we opened the doors and let the** of the world flood in.
I challenge anyone to tell me a decent place to live where there is a Labour MP.

Presumably the constituency has a town within it too?

Rossett is in the contituency of Wrexham, which is alright, but no more than that.
Chester however, is one of the finest cities in Britain and in a recent survey came third in places to live in Britain. It has a Labour MP.Harrogate came first. It is Lib Dem.

That would be your challenge f*cked inside five minutes, then.
Oxford is nice too. We have a Labour MP...not for much longer though! He'll be getting the boot come May.
