Respect ousts Bradford Labour boss (From Croydon Guardian)

• "Mr Greenwood is quoted thus: "The issue I have ... is that Mr Galloway and his colleagues have made an awful lot of promises, particularly to young people in the district, that I am not convinced they are going to be able to deliver and that bodes ill for the future in my view."
  Respect have gained 5 seats and don't, and won't, hold the balance of power. To expect Respect to ‘deliver’ anything from the position of a small minority group is setting up a straw man. After 17 years as a Councillor Mr Greenwood knows that only too well.
  If this ‘Mr G’ (G2) really does want to test the other Mr G’s (G1) supporters’ dedication to the cause of youth in Bradford, let him press his extant Labour Council colleagues to offer Respect a high profile post in a Youth focussed Directorate.
  Then, G2, we will be able to start to judge if Respect, at a local level, is more than a rag-bag of opportunist G1 waggon jumpers."
