In people like Farage I agree, but we don't need divisive apologists for radical Islam like this clown.

You're right we just need everyone to think the same way and say what people want to hear.

I don't think a man who said "We have declared Bradford an Israel-free zone" and wrote "I never debate with Israelis nor speak to their media" is adding anything useful to the discussion.

He thinks that Israel's treatment of the Palestinians is similar to the way South Africa treated non whites in South Africa. He's perfectly entitled to that opinion and to act according to his conscience.

So is Nick Griffin, but I'm not lamenting his demise either

George blamed his defeat on racists and Zionists. You know the type, the kind of racist Zionist scum that will always support a young woman of Pakistani origin over white middle aged Scot.

Bloody racists!

[Mr_B]

It's kinda odd his hate towards certain people gets a very restrained response from an awful lot of people. Coincidentally the same type spending most their days expressing their opinion on what they see as Ukip's hate towards certain people. Most odd.

[carinaman]

That made for some more amusing content on Dead Ringers.

With regard to people not being yes men and speaking out, I think Carswell and Caroline Lucas can run with that baton.

[LordLoveLength]

Does this obnoxious bellends ego have no limits? From his twitter feed:
We've begun legal proceedings seeking to have result of the Bfd West election set aside. I cannot therefor discuss my own election for now.

Just the 10,000+ votes against you George. Good luck with the legal action.

[audidoody]

Excellent news. . Bring on the bankruptcy proceedings when the legal bills arrive.

[Zod]

He'll dodge bankruptcy with money from Venezuela or Putin.

Yes, he is entitled to that opinion, which isn't an unusual view nor one without merit but it does seem that George holds that view, along with many others, only in order to win votes, not because of some genuine conviction. IMO.

Then agin, that's par for the course for a politician I suppose.

[hidetheelephants]

Hopefully he will carry out his threat of running for mayor of London, he'll split the Labour vote and allow someone sensible in. Perhaps Shagger Norris will run again.

The police are looking into information they've been passed by a former member of his team, I think for misuse of parliamentary funds.

Good. What he has been accused of:

article said:

George Galloway's use of parliamentary funds has been referred to the police by an expenses watchdog following a complaint by his former assistant.

The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa), which oversees MPs’ business costs and their use of public money, has investigated claims made by Aisha Ali-Khan.

She had lodged an official complaint alleging that while she worked for Mr Galloway, she spent a large amount of time on non-parliamentary duties including underwear shopping, making preparations for his wedding and helping the Viva Palestina charity.

Ms Ali-Khan’s lawyers claim that it amounted to a breach of obligations to use parliamentary funds to pay staff exclusively for associated functions and activities.

Dammit, was hoping this was something serious...

Still, better not take any chances...

And if someone said they wouldn't debate with Muslims, and declared a city to be a Muslim-free zone? Would that be ok with you too?

Really? You can (and should) criticise a lot about Galloway but I can't see how you could possibly doubt that his opinions are truly and sincerely held.

[exitwound]

Not one of our favourite politicians, ..but he's fun to watch on tv.. "yooo siiirr!" "shame on yoooo!"

Don't under estimate George.. In his time up here he was a formidable politician and had a huge following in Glasgow with a "can do" reputation that you could take to the bank that many an MP would love to have today.

Years ago, it was fun to watch him wipe the floor with the US Supreme Court lawyers when they tried to villify him over Iraqi oil. They had no idea what they were taking on. Whether they were right or wrong made no difference, they were simply the losers!!

You can't? Well look back through George's history at the things he's done that seem to have no purpose other then self promotion. Then think of the best sort of view to hold in Bradford if you want to carry on that programme.

But as I said it's just my opinion. Maybe he's absolutely genuine, committed and not fiddling his expenses.

I can't stand Galloway's divisive brand of politics but his performance in front of the Senate was great telly.

Meanwhile it appears that Galloway, after his defeat in Bradford, took inspiration from his old friend and mass murderer Saddam.

Saddam Hussein said:

Do not lament the treachery of time, for how often
Dogs have danced upon the corpses of lions
Think not, by their dancing, that they overcome their masters
For the lions remain lions and the dogs dogs

George Galloway said:

The hyena can bounce on the lion’s grave but it can never be a lion.
