Vincent B.A Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Good speech although spoiled it at the end with the Palestine chat. I can never decide if I like Galloway or not, I think he's a ###### but I do enjoy listening to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin_T Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 My first viewing of this, wanted it so badly to be in Robin Cook's class from 2003, however that was pretty limp and dis-jointed from Galloway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Love him or hate him you cannot fault his passion for what be stands for. He stands for nothing except himself Two faced , second rate person and politician who would not look in a mirror in case he licked himself. Of course all of the above is opinion... not like George to sue is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Parmesan Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 He's entertaining but ultimately as self-centred as every other politician.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Why then, on that basis have we never intervened on human rights atrocities in China? Or in Africa? I get what your saying, but we cannot afford another war - especially one where we are on our own Nd the are huge question marks as to whether a new regime would improve the situation.

shaun.lawson Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 He's at his best when he stays focused, which he did for about 5 minutes of that before veering off onto favourite hobby horses of his. But he's spot on: especially so regarding the opposition forces. Many people on here will have seen those videos he referred to; I presume that many MPs will have done too, or at least will know about them. And we've been arming these nutters. Arming them! What the **** do Cameron and Hague think they've been doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the **** do Cameron and Hague think they've been doing? In any conflict there are atrocities committed on both sides. Do we never intervene then in any situation therefore? I hardly see that as an argument worth it's weight. Sometimes we just have to choose the lesser of two evils.

Maroon Sailor Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 George Galloway, as the MP for Damascus West has to be admired for his indefatigability. Others would say he is a sneaky, snivelling megalomaniac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 It's pretty widely accepted that the main and most successful military force for the rebels has been Jabhat Al-Nusra, basically the Syrian arm of Al Quaeda.

Walter Kidd Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 George Galloway is a great orator of that there is no doubt. As I get older I start leaning more and more to his political viewpoints. The last true left wing socialist that we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Dan Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Galloway is indeed a dick IMO but his description of the killing of the Bishop by sawing his head of with a bread knife chilled me to the bone. That atrocious act was carried out by the "Rebels" who we would like to arm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
