George Gallaway - laughing stock or typical politician?

[barely_pointless]

I know why bareless pointless likes Curious George, its because they have the same debating style...ie. they shout and scream and have tantrums without ever actually letting the other side get a shot in!

Fantastic stuff, if thats the kind of MP you want running your country...well dont come crying to me argentina when it all goes pear shaped!

Fire with Fire my dear Mailman, fire with fire, Never said I would like George Galloway as an MP, but if he continues to undermine the US prestige and position in Iraq by deconstructing the obviously light and leaky US policy, then I'll watch with glee and continue to do so as he effortlessly outmanouveres and out thinks and out debates the US senate and most all neo-con ploiticians.

Lets be honest here, the US have hardly made it hard for him ?

Galloway's Respect party hits back at quiitting councillor's 'immature & self-serving' jibe

13 July 2007
By Ted Jeory

MP George Galloway's Respect party has hit back at one of their former Tower Hamlets councillors who quit last week.

Party leaders said Shamim Chowdhury's attack on them as "immature and self-serving" came as an unpleasant surprise.

He wrote to Respect bosses after his attack in last week's East London Advertiser saying he felt forced to resign as a councillor in Shadwell ward because of 'despicable' rumours allegedly spread about him by his former colleagues.

But Respect's Tower Hamlets chairman Glyn Robbins said Shamim's logic was so 'flimsy' he found it difficult to take him seriously.

"If people involved in serious politics reacted to every rumour and piece of gossip about us, we would never get anything done," he wrote back.

"The things you are now saying about 'the leadership' (and I note you don't mention any names, but I can only assume you include me) are completely without foundation.

"If you are a man of honour, you should withdraw them immediately."

In a separate statement, Respect leaders revealed that Shamim had never even attended any branch meetings to set out his 'vision'... as to how we could 'improve the lives of the residents of Tower Hamlets'."

The statement listed a catalogue of topics on which they claim to be leading the way, such as English language classes for foreigners, civil liberties, the NHS, workers' rights and council housing.

It added: "If Shamim Choudhury can think of a more pressing agenda than that, or a better way to fight for the rights of ordinary people, we challenge him to share it."

Meanwhile, Labour's former council leader Michael Keith has been picked to try and reclaim the Shadwell seat he lost to Respect at the local Tower Hamlets elections last year.

The by-election set for August 9 promises to be a classic that could even herald the end of Respect's influence in the East End if their new candidate Harun Miah fails to keep Labour out.

Tories have picked Duncan Crossley, while Lib Dems have selected Rosie Clarke, a former aide to Mid Dorset MP Annette Brooke.

- apparently the quality of person selected to be a Respect councillor is not all that high. Source: the person who selects them.
