Hislop thinks Galloway ran Respect? Galloway thought he did, then had a very public meltdown and staged a split when he found he didn't. October 2006, IIRC. Reminded me of Robert Kilroy Silk who formed Veritas upon discovering he wasn't running UKIP.
Apart from the ridicule, he’s one of the most erudite and articulate politicians we’ve had. Incredibly strong political figure and able to maintain quite an ethical track record.
Four minutes in. Have yet to hear anything other than ridicule of George. No mention of the fact that George is calling out the genocide going on in Gaza. Is Private Eye? No mention of the Workers Party's policies. Just a lot of superficial nonsense from people deluding themselves that they are somehow witty and amusing.
Whilst Galloway has his faults - he has been consistently anti war and is calling out what is really going on in both Ukraine and Gaza - which Private Eye seems to be oblivious to. All you get from this a sneering liberal media critique of him - which really doesn't add up.
This critique is based on the facts of his past behaviour. Seems reasonable to me. And you seem to hint at something 'really going on' in Ukraine: what, Putin didn't really invade? Ukraine is currently on Russian soil killing babies at cancer hospitals, eh?
i agree the soup that gg sups from is the soup we are in. the problems are manifest but solutions are beyond our grasp

Agree. Sounds like GBNews or TalkTV. Tory twits talking twaddle. Won't be buying an EYE for some time.

what a lot of tory twaddle.
Oh you don't have to be a Tory to take the piss out of Galloway. Man has always been a self-obsessed grifter who gets very excited by dictators.
