Is this the end of Galloway as a politician?

lol No sane person would wait for Chilcott! :)

I'd be really surprised if Chilcott appears in June/July when it is promised. But it would be a nice coincidence if the film and the report coincided.

I like George Galloway. And the fact that some of the most annoying posters on these boards don't like him, adds an extra lustre to him for me.:cool:

He is an anti-Semitic piece of shit. Why do you like him? Do you endorse his views regarding Jews?

this would be the same george galloway who said he would raise anti-war arguments in the house of commons only never to be seen there. and we are still waiting for him to mention the word 'siberia' in the house of commons. not to mention his predilection for nubile young women, to whom he has offered - on first meeting - a position: first paid, perhaps, then i suppose missionary.

Nitpickery and micro-argumentation.:p
 
Anglo Catholicism is generally taken to mean High Church C of E.
yeah broadly speaking, but in the course of the row over the ordination of women Anglo-Catholicism inside the CofE split into distinct traditionalist and liberal factions. After the ordination vote many left to join the new structure set up for them within Roman Catholicism (the 'Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham') which retains a separate identity and is also sometimes referred to as Anglo-Catholic. But not everyone left. Some of the remaining traditionalists set up a new body 'The Society under the patronage of St Wilfrid and St Hilda'. The traditionalist umbrella group 'Forward in Faith' still exists as does the networking body for priests 'The Society of the Holy Cross'. The liberal Anglo-Catholics in the CofE are still grouped around 'Affirming Catholicism' and have their own networking body the 'Society of Catholic Priests'. And I understand some small groups have taken the route adopted by many charismatic congregations in the 70s and 80s and set up entirely independently of either church. Mr Masterson is/was none of the above.

In short 'Anglo-Catholicism' is a term a bit like 'anarchism' or 'trotskysim' that can cover a multitude of idiocies. Indeed the parallels with the history of trotskyism since the 1960s are quite striking - on the one hand multiple varieties of entrism as groupings sustain themselves in a parasitic relationship to a host body, and on the other hand small independent groups which sustain themselves by imposing tithes on their mainly middle class congregants and the occasional foreign sponsorship deal. (Anarchism of course tends more to the protestant - priesthood of all believers etc. - and the charismatic).

Anyhow I hadn't realised that the relationship between Galloway and his idiot stalker had continued. Three weeks after his release from prison last September Masterson, still bound by an indefinite restraining order, posted the following on Galloway's Facebook page.

If the denizens of Bradford West with the help of, by his own deranged admission, the Zionists find him unbearable, to the point of unceremoniously dispatching him from office, what on God's great earth makes him think that a majority of voting Londoners will show him any favour?

The very fact that he is parading his dreadful, eminently punchable "boat" with a dirt begging bowl, is evidence in itself that anyone with money and sense is rightly turned-off by his deeply cynical motivations.

Galloway of course reported him to the police and issued a press statement (not necessarily in that order).
When I read this I felt immediate alarm and fear. I took the comment "eminently punchable boat" as a threat.

I am fearful that the male will attempt to assault me again, I am constantly looking over my shoulder when I am out of the house.
Masterson was returned to prison for 28 days and fined. Hilarious Mail report here.

Sadly for those who find Galloway's face eminently kissable rather than punchable the Mail reports that as a result of Masterson's original assault Galloway can no longer hug anyone without being in pain.
 
With the wind behind him, galloway is a fine orator, Better than anyone else in parliament in the last couple of decades. That's why he has a political career.
 
I cannot see what anyone sees in that absolute scumbag. How he ever had a political career is beyond me.

George Galloway is probably one of the most articulate politicians in the UK. Listen to how some politicians waffle compared to Galloway who has the ability to explain or question things very clearly in a concise manner


His show on RT is good and he quite often has guests who generally hold very different political beliefs to him, eg: Charlie Wolf and Jacob Rees-Mogg.

He's surprisingly good isn't he on the Sputnik show. As a loose lipped outsider politician he really get underneath Westminster in a way other political journalists don't. It seems odd that Rees-Mogg accepted the invitation but perhaps he doesn't get asked much :p

Gayatari is an odd sidekick but it works.
 
I literally ended up watching the Galloway Show over Christmas because there was nothing else on. I was staying at a friend's house and she sleeps late and I wake early. I even did the washing up and played with her cats as much as I could but I didn't have any fags and after a while there was nothing else to do but watch telly, and everything else was so much worse, so I watched Sputnik. Thanks, BBC.

It wasn't that bad tbh.
