Galloway launching candidate
By Richard Bean

Outspoken George Galloway is coming back to Wigan - the controversial MP arrives at Atherton's Decibel Club in Market Street on Tuesday February 19. Last year he enthused a Wigan Stop The War Coalition meeting at the Pier's Orwell with his distinctive style. This time he will address the launch meeting of the South Lancashire branch of Respect Renewal, a new national political voice for working people which is already represented on a number of local councils across England, and via Mr Galloway, in the Houses of Parliament itself.

The new branch has declared its intention to fight for the Atherton Ward in the Metro elections in May. Joining Mr Galloway behind the microphone will be Respect's prospective candidate, former Leigh TUC President and veteran anti-pit closure and anti unemployment campaigner Stephen Hall.

Speaking on behalf of the new branch, Mr Hall said: "We want to represent all those left behind in today's Britain, all those who feel that the gap between the 'haves' and the 'have nots' is far too wide, all those who want to see a society which cherishes and respects every single person and not just a privileged few. "We are wanting to re-establish the representation of ordinary working people in local and national Government a role previously claimed by Labour but which has long since been abandoned by them. In reality, the Labour Party is now representing the interest of big business and finance capital more than it ever did the interests of those who labour by hand or by brain to earn a living."
