George Galloway wins Bradford West by-election

[Peter_]

As I said earlier Galloway is a media whore and his inability to remember which by election he has won speaks volumes about the type of idiot the people of Bradford have elected, they deserve all they will get from this idiotic man.

A picture speaks a thousand words as per below.

Thank you for that reminder ,i spent years trying to get that image out of my head .......oh well back to therapy

Galloway is trying to claim that his Twitter was hacked, no one is really buying that. He really is a bit of a imbecile.

Even if that is true you can bet it is all recorded, just in case.
What with CCVT and Number Plate Recognition they obviously want to know where we are and what we are getting up to, we are even recorded getting on and off the bus, train and all the other forms of public transport, makes me think that the ruling classes are living in total fear because they sure as hell aren't installing all this expensive equipment for my safety or peace of mind.

Didn't he do the same in Bethnal Green? He targeted the Muslim communities and promised them the world when in essence he was using them to feather his own bed.

He's doing the same in Bradford.

Sorry for the late reply had loads on, not really certain as I don't listen to his shows often but IIRC he's not a fan of Scottish independence whether that includes devolution

Lets put it this way, while George Galloway is of the Far left he and his party "Respect" have become nothing but a joke and sadly so has the Far Left in general, the main issue that has caused this is after 9/11 they did a deal with the devil, they allied themselfs against the War on Terror and sided with Islamists (who would normally consider them as unislamic), since then they have complained about Iraq and Afganistan etc, along with a Anti-Israel bias!

But its not just that, George Galloway himself is a publicty seeker and a Bad MP, he and his party represent the worst of the left, if I was talking to some young (and old) lefties, I would tell them to look away from idiots like George Galloway and more to Nick Cohen, Christopher Hitchens and Peter Tatchell

(As for Ken Livingstone, while he also has too close links with Islamists, at least he has done good thnigs for London)

If you thinking of me, let me tell you this, I am ashamed of people like him (most of the far left by the way) from associating themselfs with the left

A) Christopher Hitchens is dead
B) You may find this interview with Chris Hitchens of interest....

I forget whether I said I was an ex-socialist, or recovering Marxist, or whatever, but that would have been provisional or stylistic. The thing I’ve often tried to point out to people from the early days of the Thatcher revolution in Britain was that the political consensus had been broken, and from the right. The revolutionary, radical forces in British life were being led by the conservatives. That was something that almost nobody, with the very slight exception of myself, had foreseen.

I’d realized in 1979, the year she won, that though I was a member of the Labour Party, I wasn’t going to vote for it. I couldn’t bring myself to vote conservative. That’s purely visceral. It was nothing to do with my mind, really. I just couldn’t physically do it. I’ll never get over that, but that’s my private problem.

But I did realize that by subtracting my vote from the Labour Party, I was effectively voting for Thatcher to win. That’s how I discovered that that’s what I secretly hoped would happen. And I’m very glad I did. I wouldn’t have been able to say the same about Reagan, I must say. But I don’t think he had her intellectual or moral courage.

Christopher Hitchens is in no way comparable to Galloway.

He was always ideologically consistant and he didn't care if his beliefs were being advocated by the left or the right, he backed either. This is why he seemed to switch positions, not because he changed his mind but because the landscape changed and his wasn't stubbornly attached to one party.

Galloway is the opposite. He takes his positions based on solely being a contrarian. He lectures all the time about people's rights yet when it comes to the Falklands he is suddenly against self-determination, he defends undemocratic regimes because they are based in the middle east and hate the West. He is a ideological coward. Utterly unfit to be mentioned in the same group as people like Hitchens.

They hated each other by the way.

Agreed - but he doesn't hold the views that Alan seems to think he does...

Alan talking twaddle again? Surely not lol.

Having listened to many of his radio shows in recent years, he certainly likes to have the last word and enjoys shouting others down at every opportunity. He's never struck me as being someone remotely interested in anyone else's point of view unless it's in line with his own.
