[Politics] George Galloway MP

[POP_TONEZ]

Griffin does this crap all the time, it's just for attention as he knows dumb journalists who hate Galloway will put his name back in the newspapers. Griffin hates Galloway's politics because Griffin is a virulent Islamophobe.

This nonsense about diametrical opposites supposedly agreeing with each other is called "horseshoe" theory but it's better called horseshit theory because it falls apart as soon as you look at the actual political issues.

Take the two biggest issues in the Rochdale by-election, service cuts and the Gaza genocide. On these two issues, it's the Centre and Right who agree with each other, with the Left opposing.

Centrists think it's a regrettable neccessity that cuts imposed by rightwing governments get passed on to local residents, you are seeing an echo of this in Brighton now with the new Labour council axing loads of services, supported by the Right, opposed by the Left.

Then of course there is the Gaza genocide. Centrists will do sad-face about the dead civilians and kids but will agree with the Right that no action should be taken against Israel for their murderous policies. Only the Left believes Israel needs to be sanctioned to avoid Palestinians being wiped out.

Well said.

Galloway was sacked by Talkradio for an anti semitic tweet.

He’s also on record as supporting Farage.

Galloway is very unlikely to see this thread of course but it's entirely up to you if you want to expose NSC to a risk of defamation. He's the most litigious politician in Britain

Are you saying he wasn't sacked by TalkRadio for a tweet considered to be anti-semitic by them?

No, I'm saying he sues people and websites for saying the things you say. It's just a free bit of advice to moderators (I'm no fan of Galloway)

This nonsense about diametrical opposites supposedly agreeing with each other is called "horseshoe" theory but it's better called horseshit theory because it falls apart as soon as you look at the actual political issues.

My understanding is that they don't agree with each other, otherwise it would be a circle theory.
The two extremes don't converge, they just have equally extreme ideas. You can absolutely apply this to israel/palestine, the loons on either side want to wipe the other side out. They don't agree, but their policy is the same.

Your examples aren't applied to the extremes of the horseshoe IMHO.

Griffin was delighted that Galloway won.

http://It wasn't anti semetic though is it

Talkradio said it was.

 

[POP_TONEZ]

Talkradio said it was.

Do you say it was?

 

[Guinness Boy]

Do you say it was?

Doesn't matter, he was factually sacked for anti-semitism. Take it up with Talk Radio.

So? He's a pillock but how many EDL, UKIP and facist bastards spread anti Palestinian and pro Israeli lies out of hatred of all muslims? What's Tommy Robinsons stand on the issue?

A load of people get painted with the brush for expressing anti zionsit thoughts. He celebrated not seeing the Israeli flag that is simply not anti semetic and anyone who does agree with it is out of contempt for civilisations of Palestine and Gaza.

So you've called him a raging antisemite but don't even have the bottle to say it was...LOL

That's completely contradictory - I'd have had the bottle to say it if I'd called him it - but also factually incorrect. Maybe you ought to be careful?

Blame Starmer for not doing his due dilligence to prevent an alleged anti-semite standing for the Labour Party and for not acting sooner to have them removed from the ballot paper.

Galloway stood on a pro-Palestinian ticket in Rochdale. The result, and the high turnout, demonstrates how far out of step both Sunak and Starmer are with the majority of the British public over the genocide in Gaza.

You think Starmer 'vets' every candidate? Perhaps he does. The first we knew about the anti-Semitism of the pillock they disowned was in a sting by the Daily Mail, designed to embarrass labour and make it impossible to bounce their man. There was no way of Starmer knowing in advance the oaf was anti-Semitic. Unless one assumes all Muslims are anti-Semitic. Which would be racist.

So you can blame Starmer for the outcome if you wish.

And yet....you seem jolly pleased with it. How very queer.

One side of extremists want the Palestinian kids to be murdered and the other side of "extremists" doesn't want that to happen, gosh yes they are exactly the same

Honestly coming out with this during a time when the Tories (Right) and Labour (Centre) are indistinguishable from each other is quite something

Griffin was delighted that Galloway won.

Yes because he wants dumb journalists who hate Galloway to put his name in the paper again, they'll oblige!!

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

and the high turnout,

Really?

Less than 40%

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Is that Pol Pot’s brother?

No, that would be Piss Pot.
