Sorry if you feel that I have given a personal insult to you Yasmin, it wasn't my intention. I was merely pointing out that hoax/lies have cost millions of tax payers money, deaths of British and Iraqi people (and countless other nationals), destroyed an infastructure of a country or got some local media coverage and a few people annoyed.
And if you really think Leech won, purely on the whole Christies issue then you are deeply mistaken. I am still to meet someone who had previously voted Bradley, who was swayed by the Christies issue into voting Leech. Leech mainly got such a big swing from Labour to Lib Dem on the basis that the vast majority wanted Labour out as a direct response to the invasion of Iraq. I do not have much money, but if anyone ever did carry out research into why people voted for Leech having voted for Bradley before, I would be willing to place a substantial bet on the outcome being over Iraq and not over Christies!
