Well, from burwoodman's public PH profile, his business address appears to be:
I'm sure he'll look forward to having some of Galloway's more ardent supporters pop round to admire his excellent range of rattan goods, and...as he says...big deal if someone doesn't like the furniture and slaps it around a bit?
Actually, I suspect he wouldn't.
And that makes you no better than those who attacked Galloway, that is borderline incitement right there imho.I'm sure he'll look forward to having some of Galloway's more ardent supporters pop round to admire his excellent range of rattan goods, and...as he says...big deal if someone doesn't like the furniture and slaps it around a bit?
Actually, I suspect he wouldn't.
Was that strictly necessary?
Very poor judgement displayed.
Personal details posted on this forum were certainly not meant too be used in this cavalier fashion.
This is bordering on incitement.

Whilst I have a certain amount of contempt for Mr Galloway, I would hope no-one here would take any pleasure from this attack.
There are far better ways of showing up misguided idiots like George than ttting them.
I hope he is ok, and wish for a full recovery.
Unfortunately people rarely "fully" recover from a broken jaw. The surgeons line it up as best they can and plate it. There are far better ways of showing up misguided idiots like George than t
tting them. I hope he is ok, and wish for a full recovery.
He can expect the nerve damage to take years to recover, if it ever does, and many years of teeth chipping due to being aligned at subtly different angles and exposed to pressure in places they weren't previously.
Still, he can rest assured that if the offence is a first for his assailant, jail time simply won't happen. 2 years suspended is the norm should a guilty plea be entered and mitigation successful.

O Boo fkg hoo.We are all accountable for our actions and sure, it's all just words. He is anti establishment, anti UK and seems to care so much more about other countries why doesn't he fk off and live there. He loves whipping his 'followers' into a frenzy. Big deal, someone didn't like him and slapped him around. He was recognised from Big Brother-the real reason he was hit.
He isn't anti-Muslim, that's why you're happy for him to get the st kicked out of him.Have a chuckle at this too, Rabbi beaten up in Holland says it's Israel's fault he got a kicking.

Did this Rabbi have a history of giving public speechless containing provocative content.
Here's a really alien concept- why don't MPs like Galloway focus on their constituents and UK issues rather than ALWAYS focus on the poor souls in other countries.

Genuine question for debate.
Well, certainly Blair has sucked enough tyrant d*cks in his time. But then 'at least' he is consistent in his two-faced duplicity. Galloway is either an inveterate hypocrite or stupid. And he's not stupid.Genuine question for debate.
He's more likely to blame James Foley for putting his neck in the way of a Jihadi knife than condemn his murder. Even his condemnation of Lee Rigby's killers had to have a disclaimer (""as long as we are, as a country, involved in spreading murder and mayhem across the Muslim world.")
He hates England and its WASP culture. He needs to be driving a Humvee across the Syrian desert with all his other Caliphate pals instead of encouraging the enemy within to have a go at each and every one of us.
And, by condemning his attacker, we're better than him.
Excellent post. Whilst in no way condoning the attack on GG, his anti-Semitic outbursts - whilst supposedly representing all colours and creeds in his constituency of Bradford- do him no favours at all. Still, he did ensure that the flag of Palestine did fly over Bradfords City hall to reflect the death of civilian casualties in Gaza, though not surprisingly the flag of Israel was not granted the same honour to reflect their civilian losses.
So at least he's not a hypocrite then.....

There is a difference between anti-semetic and anti-Israeli you know. Calling people who oppose Israeli actions anti-semetic (ie "racist") is a clever way of stifling the bigger debates we should be having.So at least he's not a hypocrite then.....
Feel free to have that big debate, but originating from Bradford as I do, I have a particular loathing for GG and the negative impact he and his extreme views/followers have had on that Cities reputation - such as it was.
As I've said earlier, stating that nobody from Israel would be welcome in Bradford, would I suspect have quite a different result if I said that nobody from Pakistan was welcome there. The mans a racist, but seemingly as it's "only" against Jewish people (and no I'm not Jewish) it doesn't seem to attract the same degree of condemnation were it spouted by the BNP/EDL.
Still, I can but hope that come the next election, GGs failure to represent ALL his constituents views - as supposed to the narrow extreme he does at the moment - will come back to bite him. I won't hold my breath though in view of the rather strange voting practices that are all too prevalent in Bradford.

Yes, very different. Galloway's meeting was all about posing and self aggrandisement. When Western leaders deal with despots it's part of a carefully thought through foreign policy. It has a strategic objective. E.g. when Blair and others met Gaddafi it was as a "reward" for Libya's disarmament. It was distasteful, but it served a purpose. Genuine question for debate.
I'm a fan of GG. I have no problem with principled people that hold similar or counter opinions to my own if they're able to articulate the reasoning behind their views. GG provides an often opposing view point and will defend it properly rather than dismissing questions using some meaningless doublespeak (CMD). He upsets the establishment and media and the world is a better place for that (and other people like him).
Shame on those who resort to using their fists, presumably they don't having a robust response to Galloway's position.
