Galloway's Workers' Party of Britain

[Sue]

That's all very strange indeed.

 

[hitmouse]

Don't you want to save the UK on D-Day 2?



Good to see Alliance for Unity candidates promising to save us from Class War as well:



Of all the fucking weird turns that Galloway's career has taken so far, I genuinely could not have predicted this.

That's all very strange indeed.

Next level strange. Like you know the Upside Down? Beyond that.

1992. Nicola Sturgeon, George Galloway, Pat Kane. “Scotland United” rally in George Square, Glasgow. Calling for Scottish independence.

And also Culloden references:

Big fan of the Hanoverians now, it seems.

They all look so young...

We all were.

If I still had the trousers I wore that year I’d never get into them.

Galloway turning to....this.....is strange. But maybe this is his one last huzzah. He can't pack the halls like he used to, turning up to pick an English constituency at random lost its charm, he's not getting any younger. Trying to make his mark as the Anti-Salmond is all he has left. The language is still the same, just the audience has changed.

God, Pat Kane is such a pretentious prick.





.... that is all.

Ah, so it's looking like the AllForUnity2 account was a clever pisstake making fun of the party, but apparently it didn't just take us in, it also took in the Alliance4Unity civil liberties spokesperson, who thought it was a good idea to share this:



On the other hand, that other post I found above, about how "some [supporters of independence] are anarchists", and giving "some photos of what we have to put up with" including anti-tory slogans and then a clearly photoshopped image, does seem to be a real post from a real Alliance 4 Unity candidate.

 

[Sue]

TBF, I can't tell what's real and what's not anymore.

Ah, I see.

The trouble with parody these days is that it’s hard to tell apart from reality. George’s PPB for example repeatedly referred to the list voting slip that others call the “peach ballot” as the “orange ballot”. It was said several times, and was clearly a deliberate message.

 

[hitmouse]

Yeah, this is also - apparently, as far as I can tell, obligatory disclaimers etc - a real genuine A4U candidate's reaction to the Culloden image:

Yuck. Though interesting given his antecedents.

I've found my "they're all (potentially) cunts" approach to things often serves me well when it comes to 'politics'. (Admittedly it's not done a lot for my social life).

 

[danny la rouge]

Thanks for the good practice in referencing tweets, Lurdan - I need to try to remember to do that. (Screenshot or c&p text plus url link to tweet location, rather than just directly embed tweet).

Need to be a bit more diligent in doing it myself to be honest. I still cut and paste because some of the best tweets get deleted. (And there are issues about the display of embedded tweets).

I didn’t see his PPB but here’s a tweet with a still from it. It shows a photo of Churchill on George’s mantlepiece.

Get with the program, real socialism for real patriots.
Ive said it repeatedly but Nigel Farage is the most influential uk politician of the last god knows how many years. Regular Brexit platform-sharing Galloway clearly an admirer.
Zombie Powellism

That said is there any chance that pic is fake?

 

[danny la rouge]

Get with the program,

I the read that as “get with the pogrom”.

The Churchill photo isn’t a fake. This is the video in question, hosted on the blue tick party account.

(Tweet with video. Apologies - didn’t know how else to present).

as i've said before, i'm a few hundred miles too far south to pay a lot of attention, but it took me a couple of attempts to grasp that it was a peach party-vote not a peach-party vote...

Or, as George puts it, ORANGE.

Aidan Moffat of Arab Strap fame, has a wee limerick for George as his tribunes of the masses face the voters today:
