George Galloway interrupted by student who accuses him of being a racist.

ABOUT GEORGE GALLOWAY:
Few contemporary politicians have attracted as much controversy as George Galloway. A Labour MP from 1987 to 2003, he was an outspoken critic of the policies of Tony Blair and New Labour, in particular the decision to invade Iraq. Fiery comments such as ""the best thing British troops can do is to refuse to obey illegal orders"" saw Galloway expelled from the Labour Party. But Galloway returned to the political fray by founding the Respect Party and winning Bethnal Green and Bow in the 2005 General Election. Mr Galloway re-entered Parliament in this March as MP for Bradford West and has recently provoked controversy and criticism with his comments on the rape charges against Wikileaks' Julian Assange.

Thanks George Galloway for telling things as they are, no filters!
so true George
Great to have you Mr. Galloway. Too bad there are not more like you out there, principled, honest, integrity, you are a great man.
This world needs more George Galloways
Adnan Coovadia: “Amen for ‘Fountain if Wisdom’ Sir Galloway!!! 😇😇😇😇
No it doesn't, there's not one freedom fighter he doesn't oppose, one tyrant he doesn't support, if there were more Galloways we would live under global surveillance and a global super totalitarian state, the whole time, he's the model soviet citizen, with every 10 words he says, 11 are lies.
@@DaniboyBR2 George Galloway = Hate, end of.
So True Adnan Coovadia
absulotly right
1. Sit down son.
2. Shut your pie
3. Your wasting daddies money. Oxford? Seriously?
This is Galloway territory
Listen an learn something.
Seems to me he was trying to be like Galloway but failed miserably.
Amir Haririan
No need for insults. This young man has been schooled by imperialists and came to a false and twisted conclusion. But his questions were honest, full of concern and he was very passionate. I believe that Galloway`s wonderful answer certainly gave him grounds to maybe see things in another light and maybe with time see reason and find proof to change his mind, not only about Lybia but about so many other issues. Our Western school system has been producing multiple generations who brought this world to the level of self-destruction and the destruction of the world. It takes time to break free from these chains. Not everyone is living in surroundings which make it possible for a certain individual to see behind the veil. We should be more understanding and more kind to each other in times that are leading in a very weird direction. The powers that be have abandoned us a long time ago. In the end, there will be very little left and we should at least try to stick together.
He most probably a Zionist
@@taromanharris172 and liking Israel isn't a bad thing ?. It's his opinion if he did.
I've been to Israel and think it's nice, oh I must be a Zionist.
Get a grip of yourself man, making assumptions make you look like an idiot.
Love this guy!
Well said Mr Galloway, The world is lucky to have you. such a strong voice as always
@Vijay Patel He met him to persuade him to let the UN weapons inspectors in to Iraq in an effort to stop the impeding war. He was successful in getting Iraq to comply with international law.
Unfortunately he didn't realise that the USA and UK gov. Would be the ones to violate international law and go to war with Iraq anyway. The WMD lies were only ever a smoke screen to justify a war for oil.

George Galloway is the most honest politician I have ever seen in my long life.
Bernie Sanders in US is like him. These are great men of our times.
@delonix regia He didn't stop, he was voted out. Mediocrity will always be majority.
@delonix regia I agree. I dont see the difference between Dems and Rep either. Hillary Clinton (anyone with the last name Clinton for that matter, in the Epstein era), and now Joe Biden are the absolute bottomline humans, no different from Trump and his stooges. Their police and BLM protest, oof what a pathetic excuse for a society.
@delonix regia Absolutely. I doubt majority people are bad in any society for that matter. In US, it is more money, more greed, and more convoluted sex desires.
Would agree with you if if I wouldn’t know Jose mujica. :)
THANK YOU GEORGE ,FOR THE TRUTH !!ABOUT LIBYA ,and IRAQ!
@andrew kruth Correct Andrew!
He fails to mention trade sanctions imposed since Lockerbie bombings,he also failed to mention Ghadaffi was loved by his Libyan people.
He also fails to mention the largest manmade water aquifer pipeline system ever created is throughout Libya that the U.S kept saying was created to hide military weapons which was a lie.
He failed to mention that with the pipeline installation that the deserts of Libya where being forested and farmed. He also failed to mention that the invasion of Libya was created by the CIA funding militia to destabilize what was already fragile all because Ghadaffi would not allow central banking outside control influences to impede his people whilst they built their nation.
He also failed to mention that the U.S bombed and destroyed all the aquifer ducts and pumping stations throughout Libya when they invaded,causing even more destruction of Libya and Tanzania who were connected to the pipeline waters.
@andrew kruth andrew! you gullible fool! please respond to my comment if you will not hide from the reply section!
@@Th4thWiseman Col KHADAFI was killed for motives western politicians won't never ever explain to their voters and fellow citizens. How saddened I am to find out how lazy westerners are and to which extent they had been indictrinated, manipulated and are continuing to be victims of manipulation! It is common knowledge that Britons are obsessed with facts. But how can it be that most of them have been unable to accept the bitter truth even after they had been provided with so many evidences and facts? If Mr. Galloway neither travelled to Lybia nor personally met late Col. KHADAFI and Lybians as he himself is attesting in this video, how on earth could he have known how poorly and miserably run Lybia was, for 'it failed to look like Dubai' and Lybians having appaling lives? Mr Galloway's assertion begs us to ask why his native Scotland doesn't resemble the US or Canada?
As for the colour revolution that established a controlled chaos in Lybia, the UN resolution was voted to obtain an exclusive zone for humanitarian purposes and intents. But why did it lead to the destruction of a country once prosperous, its infrastructure, and turned into a killing rendition that took away lives of innocent civilians and turned upside down the lives of Lybians? Why? Two heads of states who were part of the coalition have even regretted to have intervened in Lybia now that consequences have reached Europe which is being invaded by massive immigration. Prior to 2011, how many Lybians northerner hemisphere inhabitants saw wandering and begging in their streets? Oh blimey, I had forgotten that Africans were humanoids that do not deserve to live. How dare they even think of leading comfortable lives compared to white people in the northern hemisphere?
Can Mr Galloway or any person in that room tell how much each government-sponsored Lybian studying in London or the UK received each month in the 80s? For the purpose of comparison of government grants to their citizens, how much did each British subject studying abroad receive per month within the same period? What about today? Does Lybia have any of its citizens studying in the UK or abroad? Now you see, all of the northern hemisphere's acts or actions against Africans are based on lies, slandering and motivated by racism. What all that westerners want and are demanding is that African leaders work against the interests of their people and countries by emptying the contents of their treasury safes and go fill in its banks, so that they will set up a coalition that will organise their demises thereafter in order to avoid African countries or their duly beneficiaries claiming back those funds which are supposedly frozen. Wait a minute! But until when? How awful! While on subject, I now have confirmation of the fact that Cambridge and Oxford universities are both institutions that coach british subjects to run the British Empire, glorify imperialism, and even continue its upkeep. By the way, what gives the right to the northern hemisphere to decide upon what is wrong or right for peoole living miles and miles away, if not for the fact that they are jealous of other people enjoying their wealth and good standards of living than themselves? Lybia has become a no man's land and this is what westerners had wanted in the first place. What was unveiled during those aerial raids and the violence that ensued speak for themselves: to ransack and loot Lybia. The end justified the means. This has always been the western world modus operandi. What a shame for the so called civilised and christian people! How hypocritical of them, heartless people subjecting other human beings to an endless slavery and acting like a pack of mad wolves to attack and silence whoever dares say to the contrary and refuses to jive to their tune! So, it is true that a dog never changes the way it sits, goes the saying. The western world won't change its mindsets because hypocrisy, lies, wickedness and looting are inbedded in its DNA. It is really psychologically painful to live with and alongside people who refuse to see and acknowledge all the trauma and sufferings their behaviours, courses of actions have been inflicting upon other people for more than 5 centuries? Of course, not all westerners are to blame for sins committed by those we know have been and are the architects of lynching and destruction schemes. And the attitude of those who are in the know but are choosing to remain silent is even more painful. In fact, their behaviour raises concern amongst those who are deemed feable. In view of the above, one sometime wonders whether any individual who has a human face can be considered a human being? What kind of relationshp are we supposed to be building now that mutual trust and respect have been broken beyond any repair? The bottomline is where will we go from here?
That ending statement was brilliant. Anything that can make you reflect and judge yourself is the most powerful form of persuasion.
George bush and Tony blair ...should be bring to international criminal court...
Daniel Clark Clark what do you call killing of millions of people
@Daniel Clark Clark I would say Lying to Parliament and the people whom he was suppose to serve say's he did something illegal. Crime against the crown id wager.
and Netanyahu and Trump
@Daniel Clark Clark jew spotted
Private Vlog, they are the owner of criminal Court.
Mister Galloway is an anker in these hard times. It is always a great pleasure to listen to him.
Anchor* is what I believe you meant, mon ami.
Yes, he's also an "anchor".
He is such a brilliant and logical man
George Galloway you are a wonderful straight forward no nonsense speaker. Thank you for speaking the reality and not in imperialistic brainwashing ignorant twisting language. Keep up the honest work.
Actually shocked at the lack of intelligence in one of our most prestigious universities. 🤦🏽♂️
yes, look at how dumb they are
Indeed. But where are most of our politicians educated?!
The voice in your head assuming there is any...
children,educated idiots
They have morons like this in good ole America.Ignorance is all over
I am totally surprised to have found out about this British Parliamentarian who is truly sympathetic and sensitive to the plight of the people of the Middle-East. He might sound and look like a lonely voice in the dark but surely many are slowly awakened to the reality because of his well delivered and full of wisdom speeches .
Lookup tony benn. His speech in parliament against the Iraq war is a beauty
-says an arab
He is a part of the game. Speaks up and nothing else happens.
Lybia was the only African country with un debt and also had one of the best nhs services in the world. I hear they also offered money to other African nations and immigrant ion. He was the lion of Africa and just wanted to stop using the US dollar. Blair and Bush were just another couple of tools for the imperialist devils trying to rule the world, lackeys for their Zionist slaver masters. George you carry on mate, you are a hero and a legend.
Brilliant! It's about time Somebody told them how It is. The boy sounded like. An Antifa bleeding heart and no brains. I think T May and Diana Abbott went to Oxford. They are very good examples of an excellent education. M'aider I think I'm going mad or is It the government that's as mad as the Hatter. Help me.
Gaddafi is an African Hero
bravo
Galloway opposed Gadaffi and supported the Libyan Revolution (he opposed the NATO intervention however). He praised Libyan revolutionaries numerous times on his radio show in 2011. Gadaffis security services were armed and trained by Britain.
George Galloway, just brilliant.
Can we agree that the dictators of the middle east were far better than what we have now
Completely agree. Its utter chaos now. Iraq seems to be stabilizing finally, after pouring in trillions in aid and weapons, its still real messy though. The rise of ISIS would have never happened under the old dictators.
They kept large swathes of a region of our planet bang brutally destroyed for Imperialism or many many decades. Just after WW2 the Arab world tried its best to get true democracies but America and Britain and to go on ahead and fuck everything up
Not in the long run. While the transition from autocracy to democracy can be difficult and tumultrous, it is worth it so that the future generations grow up in a free and democractic nation, where they have the chance to rise up and turn their ambitions into reality.
-from the citizen of a former dictactorship
@@varungupta2887 Iran did have a democracy....until the US CIA overthrew their popular, democratically elected leader and installed an unpopular, corrupt puppet regime that was more open to selling them cheap oil.
You see how that worked out...
Now the USA gov are again going for regime change there. They never learn.
I do not know exactly, I did never live under any of those Dictators - But surely smashing up a country, disrupting it´s infrastructure and pillage nearly all its assets is not a way to create a better country in any circumstances - That is purely to be considered a criminal act; Violence, Murder, Rape, Theft, Pillaging, Vandalism etc. etc . The so-called Arabian spring has been one long winter and will continue to be for quite some time. The suffering and bloodshed created are of immense proportions and none form the West and the Bush Terror concept gang has been trialed.
I was under the impression that Oxford university was supposed to be at absolute Pinnacle of intellectualism but i was proven wrong.
@South Side You're meant to be smart before you even get in there anyway
@lo ko You'll get the same type of neoliberals everywhere.
I mean they can be smart just not in common sense.
You're thinking of Cambridge Uni.!
To sound intelligent is one thing . But to have intelligence is quite opposite.
WHAT A GREAT SOUL. Mr Galloway you are the most honest man in World.
More than his intelligence, it's his compassion that I admire, he's a good man.
Standards are slipping at Oxford
David Murphy slipping 🤣🤣🤣
very true
Drone strikes? Can't hurt surely
My point exactly
What "standards"? A pathetic PPE "degree"? What a joke !
Thank you George Galloway, for talking about the "Truth" and showing the world the level of intelligence and ignorance of the Oxford students.
The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance. Herodotus?
Ex Army and ashamed to be, indeed.
@Jay James Tyrants and Imperialism killing millions driving millions out of their country as refugees. That's what happened to us Greeks before. George Galloway is not a bad person. He just forgot to mention what the Ottoman Empire was doing to Greece and the Middle East and he forgot the Persians, etc. @lol
GEORGE, the kindest, one of thee greatest minds in UK's sociopolitical history
You meant sociopathic history.
Galloway is not even close to being intelligent.

No one would ask that same question today, now that the once rich socialist country of Libya has been reduced to violence and slavery.

How is it 'brilliant' not to answer the question put before you or - if he really couldn't catch much of the question - at least ask/give an opportunity for clarification?
That student, if one can call him that, is the shameful face of a failed education.
Galloway... Cheers to you!
Imperialism is WRONG WRONG WRONG...no matter the era!
I simply disagree. Imperialism moved the world forward and is moving the role forward. Large powerful nations have the right to influence small ones. And the ideals of those large and powerful nations ultimately spreads human progress. The British empire did great and wonderful things for the world and many other western empires. Imperialism helped Asia and Africa in the long run and made democracy and human rights
More accessible.You are mistaken. Imperialism is good and is historically necessary and not condemnable.
This student has no shame for saying such a stupid things. And the students who clap for him are biased as him.
@@someonenew439 in your logic, Russia should invade Ukraine because it's a small country ? If yes you are coherent with what you say. If not, it's called hypocrisy.
@ I still say yes. Russia has rights to influence smaller and weaker nations. That is their right and privilege for being a great power. I see nothing historically wrong with it. If Russia feels they can do this and are willing to suffer the consequences, they can do it. The same way Ukraine has the right to defend itself. And we have the right to send aid and weapons. It’s just a game. The great powers are the players and the smaller nations are the chess board and pieces. So I don’t condemn any nation for going to war for land or resources ect. It’s just something that happens. We will see if it leads to any progress.
thou shall not steal is right there with thous shall not KILL... and have a day OFF Every week.
If this is the level of intelligence we have currently in school then this country really is fucked!
yep
well said!!!!! well fucked !!!
O Please Take a Look at The Public School Twat's in Parliament and how we are ridiculed by the rest of the world
right? thought exactly the same thing!
Totally agree
“Did you imagine that the Iraqis would respond to the invasion and occupation any different if hitler occupied us?” We need Galloway as the president and prime minister of the world
Germany had the same shit rwice from UK what Russia experiences now.
Poor kid he has.been watching too much of CNN and BBC
ciné fil Yeah that’s why I read people’s world and read the literature of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao. Seriously the pseudo-left is the stupidest thing in human history. The only thing I hate more than postmodernist liberals is the fact you call them leftists.
correct
And fox news, fox news loves Israel
I thing Fox News is owned by the Jews
Or fox news lol
Galloway you are greatest teacher in this century
This is an Oxford student? Shame on you
What are you telling you nurd?
George is the good guy
Joker may be but amnot sure
Beautiful response filled with knowledge & compassion.
George Gallaway is an articulate and intelligent man.I like him
Its extremely hard these days to find politicians that are honest, such as George Galloway.
So much passion in his words and eyes. Amazing.
I have always held the view that Oxford and Cambridge students are smart - my brother went to Cambridge and he is very smart - but these lot these days do not strike me as particularly clever.
* my brother 'goed' to Cambridge. *particliarly clever
Outspoken, in-depth analyst & and above all, a rationale interpretor! I love to hear him! Bravo Mr Galloway!
Well said George man of knowledge.

I was not aware that covid-19 affected brain function and rational thinking.
Let's hope you make a full recovery. 🙏🏻
@@Pennyburn1688 the more people speaking the truth the better.

@@bigfatburn6229 yeah true. Lol
Bravo to Mr George very well done 👍👍
Mr. Galloway, greetings from Turkey. Thank you for telling the truth.

Some people were born to talk and others were not. This modern culture that allows idiots like that to test great minds like galloway is simultaneously amazing and frustrating.
Great speech, and a good ending. Made some sensible points.
If you're going to come at George you better be up too snuff
George you are a courageous man to stand up against tyrants courage is a virtue
If this is what oxford produces then I really didnt miss much.
true hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Galloway awesome as always,whilst 90% of politicians are either ignorant or silent of what they know to be wrong
Absolute plain speaking! Telling the truth as it is.So enlightening!
Got a wee chat with George in West Belfast when he was over. Good guy👍🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
Love or Loathe him George Galloway is a great orator
Wonderful wonderful human, loads of respect, long live happy life.
I love you George. May you have a long life! And may those whipersnappers have just a bit respect in their tone. Thats gone by the way side, such blateness. I think many more old wise men need to give young ones some true history.
May God bless this man for his loves for human lives
That student spoke like an underwater telephone and looked like a potato with big ears!!
To get to Oxford other than on the train, I mean to Oxford University means that you are intelligent and hopefully are able to absorb in a meaningful way the education available to you, this joker asking a question so pitifully out of touch with the reality of the answer given by George means that I believe he slipped through the net and doesn't belong in such a distinguished school.
@Jay James Nicely put Gay James.
Oxford (like any other edcational institution) is their to indoctrinate people in to a way of thinking and being that serves the system.
He look more like a British in the 1970’s.
I love that style of hair though. I wish I could get my hair to go in that style but nope.
Can you imagine a conversation like this remotely taking place on any American TV show in which the guest is asked to respond to a question or comment and not being constantly interrupted mid sentence by either the person who proposed the question or the host themselves?
The listeners get a disjointed presentation of ideas that ruin someone’s thought process or point they’re trying to expound and many times leave incomplete or unanswered questions.
This goes for any guest whether their idea is pro or con. I prefer letting people speak and then make up my own mind from what I’ve heard or in many cases, hear some point that I hadn’t considered given by a guest that gives me another idea or resource to go check out myself.
The civility of the Oxford type forum would be a welcome format in all talk shows
All these people throughout the Arab world cried out for the West to bomb them? I missed that.
You maid me laugh on topic that's not funny cheers
they cried out not to be bombed.
What a great intellect is Mr Galloway.
this is the definition of bravery and integrity
Long live George Galloway

Extraordinária frase para finalizar? Hoje 18-04-2023, e a estes anos de distância é com tristeza ter-mos de reconhecer que GEORGE GALLOWAY tinha, tem, e vai continuar a ter toneladas de razão? Obrigado GEORGE ✌️✌️
My God! that was a an amazing Answer 👏 George Galloway is just Amazing
Mr Galloway, I salute u for being so direct and unapologetic. It’s their war, their country and it should be theirs to sort it out.
A Man who stands for Dignity & Courage
Gaddafi wasn't perfect but had the country under control and believed in social system, housing his people, educating them. Was independent from the US. U.S. hated that (look at Venezuela currently) and wanted his oil and gold. Imperialism and greed.
Galloway uses Billie Holliday lyrics beautifully, and none of these kids at Oxford knew he swiped those words.
Well said Mr. Galloway. Well said.
First-class Galloway material. Thanks George, you're an inspiration.
George Galloway may well be the best debater I have ever seen in my 63 year existence.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!
An education by George.........good stuff for those of us who are ill informed.
Great Honor for Mr Galloway....
Very very brilliant and informative we need more intelligent people like Galloway
This was 7 years ago I want that student to come out and publicly repeat that question in 2019. Problem like migration to Europe , IS and Slavery came as a result of NATO invasion of Libya.
It's about time others like Galloway come out of their shells and do the right thing in condemning a foreign policy based around military intervention aka "pack of lies" . Well done Sir Galloway this is truly extraordinary coming from an individual who isn't personally affected by this policy but still risks his career protesting.
I thought this students are bright daamn ! Difference btn knowledge and wisdom...
Wonderful analogies, parallels and references to history.
Mr Galloway is right. Those countries didn’t deserve to be what they are today. Life used to be more beautiful but lust for power and wealth of the West Countries ruined those countries in the Middle East. It is a big shame.
dude just spits facts
this is the kind of politician the whole world needs
Well spoken
George for prime minister any day.
Our habibi.
These are some of the greatest question and answer video handling some vary tough subjects... But getting the point across that leaves you thinking about things that have happened around the world... Wow...
The more we make every one our enemies, the more enemies we will have ! Diplomacy is the key, But do we have any Great Diplomats?
If this is the kind of education that one of the top universities in the world has to offer and this is the wisdom it bestows, then I'll happilly die in ignorance. These students don't deserve a second of Mr. Galloway's time.
U r the man who always talk the truth no matter what thanks for that
He made some some bollox of that young fellow
Only just come across George, he speaks like a poet, and most importantly, he speaks with sense. I went to uni myself (not a Russel group) and thought all of these varsities and political groups you can join on campus were just a load of bollocks. I just thought they were full of self absorbed people living in bubbles, and I think this proves my feelings may have been correct...
We need this kind of forum in all of our education systems!
not so much the stupid children though - some of them are at highschool level - not university.
Oxford Union student is dumb down, a learning lesson when addressing a seasoned well-spoken intellect as George Galloway.
"cry out for our help"
When?
Leave the student alone. We all have our moments of ignorance. He spoke with conviction and had to courage to stand up and speak and maybe learn something new. He is after all in school.
Is This Foolish Student Really From Oxford ?
What a man George Galloway is!
Oxford students know one thing
How to speak in English
well there is that video of the zionist pulling out an israeli flag and screaming at galloway in hebrew before storming out
Thanks Mr. Galloway for telling the truth 🙏🙏🙏
I thought I had low IQ but now I can walk with my head higher than the stars after seeing how insane Oxford students are
Kejahatan akan kalah...dan kebenaran pasti akan menang..
To follow George’s logic, It’s strange how when Germany and Japan were invaded and occupied in the 1940s they were able to develop into peaceful democracies. Despite having been “occupied” for decades afterwards. They should by reason of occupation, have broken down into rival militant groups headed by warlords. Perhaps it’s something in the diet. The problems of factional violence, we are told, is because the borders created by the West ignored ethnic territorial boundaries, how fortunate that Europe remains unmoved by its tribal heritage. According to George, in both Libya and Iraq it was entirely predictable that removing tyrants would lead to chaos; George clearly has not that high an opinion himself of the aspirations and expectations of the people of those regions. Perhaps he’s right and tyranny is inevitable.
No it wasn't the people but those who invaded these countries that could not rebuild them (US and the West). Galloway is on point.
I dont like the guy but 100% spoken the truth
