I CANNOT pretend to have the same knowledge of Peter Mandelson as our esteemed columnist George Galloway. I met him only once. It was before his first resignation.
A statement by George Galloway “In the midst of this financial crisis which threatens us all, at last the government is taking action which may begin to shore up the banking system. I hope that it is not, as many in the City are saying, “too little, too late”. At almost every step the government has [...]
by George Galloway MP Last Saturday’s rally by the Campaign to End Child Poverty deserved wider coverage than it received. The campaign’s work and research findings, published last week, are a reminder, for those who needed it, that economic hardship and a widening chasm between rich and poor did not begin with the credit crunch. They [...]
He’s quit the Lib Dem front bench in order to fight to become Lib Dem President. But Lembit Opik simply isn’t a serious politician. He has had to deny that he is to go in to the Big Brother house, following George Galloway’s lead, claiming that it is absolute nonsense. There is no truth in it whatsoever. Yet considering [...]
It will be a repeat of the George Galloway and Christopher Hitchens debate, with Biden appealing to emotion and Palin appealing to reason. Those who lean left will say Palin gave them no reasons to feel good about her; those who lean right will say Biden gave them no logical arguments to support the Obama/Biden [...]
George Galloway today described the figures on child poverty in his constituency as “truly shocking”. The Campaign to End Child Poverty, an umbrella organisation for more than 130 including Barnardo’s, Unicef and the NSPCC, has produced research showing 5.5 million children in poverty in Britain. Bethnal Green and Bow has some of the highest concentrations [...]
It has become virtually an article of faith on the left and the transnational professional class that the invasion of Iraq was the "greatest foreign policy blunder" in American history. See, e.g., Jimmy Carter, Ramzy Baroud, Teddy Kennedy, Robin Cook, George Galloway, Harry Reid, and Jim Leach (it pains me to include him, he being the only politician for whom I've actually knocked on doors). And
Watch this video and see George Galloway wriggle, not answer several key questions and make several allegations that I think might be of interest to the people he makes them against. Congratulations to David Henshaw from Dispatches' "Undercover Mosque" programme for treating George Galloway with all due respect.
Former British prime minister Tony Blair’s sister-in-law has called Gaza a “concentration camp” and a “humanitarian crisis on the scale of Darfur.” This occurred during an interview with Former UK Labour Party MP, Hezbollah supporter and Syrian apologist George Galloway on on Press TV, a London-based Iranian English-language 24-hour news channel. During the interview, Galloway referred [...]
DAVID Henshaw, executive producer of Channel 4’s Undercover Mosque, is on George Galloway’s Press TV show. Press TV is funded by Iran. “Impermissibility” is Galloway’s indefatigable new word. Henshaw starts laughing at Galloway, who has no answer. “I’m laughing at you, George, I’m laughing…” “I’m laughing at you, George… I’m laughing…”
Yesterday I went to Tower Hamlets to help out with campaigning in the new Poplar and Limehouse parliamentary constituency (CLP). West Ham CLP is twinned with this seat, which is held by Labour MP, Jim Fitzpatrick. Jim is supposed to be facing the utterly loathsome, George Galloway, as his “Respect” opponent in the next General election. The SWP/bigots coalition has largely collapsed recently, so the...
Sorry I have been a bit slow on confirming this news. My e-mail access has been restricted due to a server problem. The “Left Alternative” is the brand name of the SWP dominated part of Respect that split away from George Galloway, Salma Yaqoob and most of the councillors last year. Since then the Left Alternative has [...]
There's been much to admire in Nick Cohen's savaging of the George Galloway-John Pilger wing of the left in Britain. But to me, the point of all this, and the reason I launched this blog almost exactly three years ago, was to shore up liberalism and social-democratic politics against attacks from the know-nothing left and the know-nothing right. Cohen has now all but crossed over to the latter with...
