In case you're unaware of George Galloway...

Here's a typical speech on the floor of the House of Commons.

Right at the end he predicts Tony Blair's criminal trial.

He's never bloody there :eyes:

I thought he was Labour when he served years ago but when he was just elected more recently (like last 4 years or so), it was with a different affiliation.

of it.

and what a great day that will be.

a combination of left wing socialist parties and anti-war groups. He is a great independant voice in Britian..much like Bernie Sanders here. Except I think Galloway is an even more left wing socialist than Sanders.

anti-war party called "Respect". He then defeated a sitting Labour MP, who had voted for the war in Iraq.

Though there are many different views on the subject, Galloway is not on the whole respected as much by British left-wingers as he is on the American left. We like his anti-war message; but he seems to spend too much time doing publicity stunts like going on Celebrity Big Brother, and too little time in the House of Commons. He's also supported some rather dodgy dictators in his time, though the same could be said of most politicians who've had any power.

There are a number of people here who think Blair should be tried for war crimes, as well as possibly for pettier offences like involvement in the sale of peerages. Channel 4 showed a play about "The Trial of Tony Blair" recently. There is also a longstanding effort, led by Alex Salmond a Scottish Nationalist MP, to impeach Blair for lies and illegal actions over Iraq. This will not happen (although impeachment is technically still possible in Britain, it hasn't been actually used in 200 years); but the efforts are probably an embarrassment for Blair.

and what was the form of that support?
Are there any links?
I am aware that he does get in close to some characters, but I
thought it was more as a mediator.
I really loved it when he ripped Norm Coleman to shreds.
Normy certainly would never again give him a platform.

Thanks For this! I could listen to him for hours! :loveya:
