George Galloway

I forgot it was on but I must say he does know his big words :smiley-laughing002:

 

Nope, although this Tristram (?) liebour is a proper roaster. GG isn't getting to talk much for a change

 

The televised debate he took part in at the hydro in the run up to the Indyref was strange. He was hyped up so much that there were rumours going around that the Yes campaign didn't want him there etc. He was absolutely useless in the debate though, and frequently got booed by the audience while stumbling through incoherent responses.

Seems to me like a bit of a one trick pony whose specialist subject happens to be the Middle East. He's also looked more and more like an attention starved, career politician over the past few years.

 

Zionist scumbags littered throughout the audience and on the panel.

He's been totally set up here.

 

All the * Zionists in the audience not happy with him, shame

 

Audience seems about 80:20 in favour of Israel

 

Chap * himself there

 

Horrible wee Zionist * in the audience.

 

I agree with him on Israel, i will give him that.

 

Came across very well, just let them dig their own hole, hope he gets home safe

 

The #bbcqt hashtag on twitter is always a good laugh

 

Very brave man, really sticking up for his beliefs and opinions against a whole onslaught on Zionist loving arseholes is something that most be respected.

 

BBC

 

No surprise really, it was in Finchley and surrounding big Jewish north west London areas..

 

Agree no matter what our opinion on him because of the referendum,he is totally unmovable on the stance of the Palestinian people

 

Well don't pay the license fee

 

Aye, agree with you on that

 

The latest edition of BBC Question Time from Finchley in north London was a low point for the flagship show. The treatment meted out to Respect MP George Galloway was a disgrace, made more so by the fact his car was attacked as he was leaving the venue, despite a police presence outside.

The ugly events witnessed by millions began in the weeks leading up, as soon as his appearance on the panel in Finchley was announced. An orchestrated campaign of intimidation and provocation was waged through the media, designed to intimidate both him and the BBC. But as George said, the idea that someone who has been an MP on a near uninterrupted basis since 1987 should be prevented from speaking or appearing in any constituency in the country is an attack on democracy. The Conservative MP for Finchley and Golders Green, Mike Freer, played a key part in instigating this media campaign, which given that the Respect MP was physically assaulted in the street just a few months ago by a fanatic wearing an IDF t-shirt, is surely grounds for Mr Freer to be held to account.

During the show, the question directed at Galloway re the rise of antisemitism in the UK should have been censored. It straddled the line of defamation, not to mention taste, and brought the BBC into disrepute. It was an organised attack, involving an audience in which an array of hate mongers were given free rein. Even the gentleman who reminded the audience of Galloway’s past record in correcting antisemitism when it arised on his Press TV show Comment, went on to assert that antisemitism was directly related to the number of Muslims living in Europe.

Jonathan Freedland of the Guardian’s statement, “the resumption of violence in Gaza”, during his attack on George was a studied and cowardly attempt to minimise one of the most barbaric military operations against a civilian population the world has witnessed. That he could not bring himself to acknowledge this, when we consider the 500 Palestinian children who were slaughtered during this massacre, was suggestive of a man who has had his humanity surgically removed.

The free speech ‘merchants’, those who were so up in arms over matters related to the massacre at the offices of Charlie Hebdo, who use free speech as a sword rather than a shield, would like nothing more than to silence one of the only voices in the country’s national life who dares challenge the demonisation of Muslims and the Muslim community, establishment support for the apartheid state of Israel, and a political status of quo of military intervention overseas and social and economic injustice at home.

That George is a polarising figure is beyond doubt. But the reason they hate him because he knows them, knows what they are and consistently and tirelessly exposes their hypocrisy and double standards. Consequently, it would be a huge reverse if he fails to get re-elected as the MP for Bradford West in May. Fortunately, though, given the disgraceful lynch-mob-audience on Question Time, and the orchestrated campaign of incitement we have seen rolled out against him, his re-election is now more likely than ever.

Someone tweeted last night after the show ‘Je Suis George Galloway’. It is hard to argue with that sentiment after the attempted political and public lynching of the Respect MP on Question Time.

I'll have to give this a watch now, although it'll no doubt just * me off something rotten.
