Another day and another chapter in the burgeoning row between Respect MP, George Galloway, and Conservative MP, Greg Hands. In his letter to the Tory backbencher last week , not only did Galloway fail to apologise for not telling Hands he was speaking in his constituency, but he mocked him, claiming not to know who he was. Hands has now hit back, s...

Is there any British politician more disgusting and morally corrupt than George Galloway? Not content with giving Saddam and his butchering offspring's tongue enemas in person and in print, supporting terrorists and terrorist states, making political alliances with clerical fascists who would happily murder gay people, Jews and anybody else who disagreed with their backward culture.......he's offered...
The Daily (Maybe) (Free subscription) | 19/07/2008
I've never made a secret of the fact that I rather admire George Galloway, despite the fact that on certain issues we radically disagree - that's fine. I like differences , even irritating ones . So it was with great pleasure that I saw Galloway getting back to his old form and giving the shortest of shrifts to one of Her Majesty's Opposition. The Telegraph's Jonathan Isaby tells that; "News of an...

Galloway stands accused of failing to follow parliamentary protocol for not informing Hands that he was speaking at the recent Islam Expo at Olympia in his constituency. Hands wrote to the Bethnal Green and Bow MP seeking an explanation for the a...

Hunter has just been browsing the latest Early Day Motions (EDMs) in Parliament. One motion, EDM1948 , heaps praise on the merger of two unions and on Derek Simpson and Tony Woodley, the left-wing leaders of the Unite union. Who wrote is? George Galloway? John McDonnell? Diane Abbot? Jeremy Corbyn? No, step forward Bob Spink , the Conservative-to-UKIP member for Castle Point. Hunter wonders if Spink...

by Mark Yannone Forced to embarrass the government-educated, old-media-conditioned caller, Member of Parliament George Galloway explains to his radio audience the harsh realities of bombing Iran. Galloway: An attack on Iran will be the biggest mistake in history. The Middle East's oil fields will be on fire. The Persian Gulf will be blocked and on fire. You won't find oil at $150 per

I’ve written many times about how England’s libel laws are the last resort of the scoundrel. It’s not simply that the judiciary allowed Jonathan Aitken, Jeffrey Archer, Robert Maxwell and George Galloway to collect damages, but that they have opened the doors of their court to Saudi billionaires and Ukranian oligharchs wishing to suppress criticism.

From the Daily Record: Nationalism never helped this country Jul 7 2008 George Galloway GORDON BROWN must have been humiliated, pleading with a succession of nonentities to become New Labour’s candidate on the eastern front. The forthcoming by-election will prove as important to Scotland as Stalingrad was to the outcome of the Second World War. I’ve fought this [...]

Stephiblog reprints a letter (not French) from George Galloway to Jacqui Smith the kebab fetishist Home Secretary identifying an Inspector Chris Dreyfus as an agent provocateur at the anti Bush Rally described by Yasmin Whittaker-Khan in the Mail on Sunday 22nd June . "Was 'friend' who yelled abuse at police on anti-war demo a stooge or a thug, asks writer" "This man" , says George, showing his
the void (Free subscription) | 30/06/2008
Just a quickie, but worth a mention, that the cop accused of being an agent provocateur by George Galloway is denying everything and seeking legal advice. “It wasn’t me, I’m taking legal advice.” Of course he would say that wouldn’t he. We’re loving it at the void because this one’s a winner either way. Either Inspector Chris [...]

I have just finished writing a piece about a wholefood co-operative in Glasgow . In a previous life, I used to travel up to Glasgow every other weekend and one of my abiding memories is George Galloway, then Labour MP for Hillhead, standing on top of a battle bus and singing "Things Can Only Get Better" at the top of his voice. That ( as if you didn't know) was 1997. Now it seems things can only get...
