Labour poised to expel Galloway
GEORGE Galloway, the outspoken Glasgow MP, is expected to be expelled from the Labour Party this week after being accused of inciting Arabs to fight British troops.

That is just one of five separate charges which have been made against Mr Galloway who will be asked to explain his conduct to a panel from the Labour Party’s National Constitution Committee on Wednesday.

He is also accused of inciting British troops to disobey orders, appealing to voters to oppose Labour candidates, threatening to stand as an independent candidate and supporting an anti-war candidate.

If, as expected, the panel finds Mr Galloway guilty of "engaging in conduct" which has harmed the party, he will be expelled from the Labour Party immediately.

...

But yesterday the Glasgow Kelvin MP hit back, branding Wednesday’s hearing a "political showtrial" and calling on Tony Blair to resign.

1. Galloway appears to have conducted himself honorably
It is Blair that should "stand trial" before the party and stand trial at The Hague.

2. Not surprising
Tony's skilled forgers did so well with the Niger yellowcake story that I guess they thought they'd have a go at Mr. Galloway while they were at it. Since that backfired on them, Bliar has had to wait for things to die down before pulling the trigger again.
