Surely this must be the only public forum in the UK which, so far, has not commented upon the Bradford West by-election yesterday, so here goes, with my hat in the ring. FWIW, I think that the Muslim block (and possibly dubious postal votes) won this seat for Britain-hating Galloway. The man is a traitor and a deeply dangerous one, at that. A more detailed appraisal of the man is here:- tinyurl.com/7dmhlvr (Link to an article in "The Commentator", written by Raheem Kassam) Reply to this message | Report message

I really thought this thread was going to be about wrestling, and that would have been a bit left field even for this place. Reply to this message | Report message       1

A deeply dangerous traitor? A not unexpected view from you. At least he told the US senate to get stuffed in spectacular fashion, and told them some home truths about Iraq. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrdFFCnYtbk Last edited by: Zero on Fri 30 Mar 12 at 15:47 Reply to this message | Report message

I don't agree with a lot of what he says or does, but I have a rather grudging respect for him. Unusually honest for a politician...wouldn't vote for him myself. Agree with Zero as well ! Reply to this message | Report message

>> Unusually honest for a politician... >> Ah, you missed the "charity" scandal then? At least most of the others with their fingers in the till were filling their pockets from the public purse rather than with widows' mites. I don't think they ever did work out where all the money went. Also well-known for being first in line for any expensive overseas junkets going when a mainstream politician. Personally I don't think he's dangerous, rather the opposite - a figure of fun. I also can't quite see traitor. However, I do reckon he's one of the most self-serving as politicians go. As for honest, I'm absolutely convinced he'd say up was down and black was white if it might get him a few votes. Reply to this message | Report message

It amuses me to be in broad agreement with Roger and the late Christopher Hitchens, although Roger overdoes it by calling GG a traitor. He's too fly to look much like one of those. He is very distasteful though, a sort of Fox News commentator in reverse. Reply to this message | Report message

Well observed AC. He used to be on my hate list, but a lengthy discussion on FB with some leftie friends sort of convinced me to think a little about who he is and do some digging. He falls into into the Tony Benn category for me - sort of second division though. Reply to this message | Report message

A superb orator is our George, but like most of his type some of the truths he speaks is drowned out by the trip he spews. Still he has chosen his niche, and knows how to target an area to get himself elected. Bit of a pervert too judging by his performance on Big Brother, you got to like a guy like that.

I like George Galloway. Spots an opening - and goes for it.. In another life he would have been Richard Branson. The fact that the Labour Party lost a very safe seat says more about them than George Galloway. The fact that Labour are not 20% ahead in the Opinion Polls just confirms it. George Galloway is infinitely preferable to Ed Balls..( I don't compare him to Ed Miliband as everyone is preferable to him) Last edited by: madf on Fri 30 Mar 12 at 16:36 Reply to this message | Report message

He beat the 'intended' Labour guy. Destroyed him in fact. The Labour guy was Imran Hussein - sounds like 'C of E' to me. The Muslim vote went for the Scotsman (who has well publicised Muslim sympathies). Traitor? Hardly. And as Z has mentioned - he handed the US Senate their own butts in 2005 with impressive style - watch the video on youchoob if you've never seen it. Tell the truth as he sees it, just as everyone does - just his truth doesn't necessarily agree with mine or yours. Reply to this message | Report message

I've met George Galloway, in connection with a dispute that involved Muslims on both sides, not in the Middle East but North Africa. He purportedly espoused the cause of the side I support myself, but soon blotted his copybook quite badly. The man's an opportunist and hustler, none too honest. Shady is the word. It's perfectly possible to be rude and forthright without being honest. A lot of people are. Reply to this message | Report message

Labour's policy of allowing virtually uncontrolled immigration "To wipe the noses of the right in a diversity culture" came back to haunt them last night. Reply to this message | Report message       1

>> Labour's policy of allowing virtually uncontrolled immigration "To wipe the noses of the right in >> a diversity culture" came back to haunt them last night. Interesting set of interviews with people in Manningham and thereabouts on PM tonight. Didn't sound like new arrivals; spoke like me but with 'yorkie' overlaid by an Asian lilt. In other words the folks who voted for GG were the sons and grandsons of immigrants in the fifties and sixties. People brought in to do the jobs in woollen mills that the indigenous population were no longer up for. Last edited by: Bromptonaut on Fri 30 Mar 12 at 20:29 Reply to this message | Report message

>> Are most of the people voting for G.G Moslims?Couldn't care less if hey where just >> wonder. That's the working assumption. GG mobilised the (mostly Muslim) British Asian vote in one half of the constituency while the white British in the other half stayed home. Reply to this message | Report message

I was thinking that Brompt.In a general election I can't see him getting all these votes.Still strange that a Scotsman appeals to the moslim vote whilst one of their own candidates never got any.Never been to Bradford so I don't know what the town is like. Reply to this message | Report message
