George Galloway - Twat or not?
 
So "Gorgeous George" has made his way to Canada from across the pond.

Not wanting to be non-partisan, I am so glad the he has fully recovered from the direct hit he received from a small blue foam stress ball while riding on a London bus apparently while bellowing incessantly.

For a moment, I wondered if the Tory connected fella that threw or launched the tennis sized ball used had been trained by George's fellow Scotsman Andy Murray.

I am actually glad he was allowed in, I think it's awesome.....his dealings on the world stage with the likes of Saddam and Co endeared him to so many....hell I hope he considers biweekly trips...

Perhaps he is here for talks about a North American appearance on Big Brother.....akin to cash for shite unless there are other oil for food like programs that need revamping with his help.

Anywayz.....have to go to the washroom...as I have to m0ve things along on a on a go forward basis.

GO, GEORGE GO....Eh....Douche bag anybody.

He's a publicity seeking, self aggrandising twat. However he does have the occasional lucid 'not a twat' moment, such as when he met the US senate and made them look like the complete idiots they really are. Especially when he pointed out that he has only met Saddam as many times as Donald Rumsfeld... Brilliant.

The first of 5...

I was living in the US when he appeared. And, as you rightly mention he made them (US Senate Committee) look like complete knobs, especially that dim-witted Norm Coleman.

Re: George Galloway - Twat or not?
 
I'm still wondering why a full investigation by the British authorities was not conducted over the allegations, where he and then wife Dr Abu-Zayyad came by the funds mentioned below:

"Suspension from the House of Commons - On 17 July 2007, following a four-year inquiry, the House of Commons Select Committee on Standards and Privileges published its sixth report. The committee concluded that there was "no evidence" that Galloway gained any personal benefit from either the former Iraqi regime, or from the Oil-for-Food Programme. It did not examine the bank account of Galloway's former wife or their joint account.

I have not found evidence that Mr Galloway has, directly and personally, unlawfully received moneys from the former Iraqi regime. I have been given evidence by Dr Al-Chalabi of a payment by him of $120,000 to Mr Galloway's former wife, Dr Abu-Zayyad, which derived from a commission payment Dr Al-Chalabi received under the programme.

As I do not have access to the bank accounts in question, I do not know whether Mr Galloway benefited in any way from this payment. Nor do I know whether Mr Galloway benefited from a payment of $150,000 to Dr Abu-Zayyad which the US Senate Permanent Sub-Committee on Investigations found to have been made by Mr Fawaz Zureikat out of oil contract commission.”

Amazing to me that the loop was not properly closed here and the public informed....the result of the powers that be doing their job....it is certainly apparent that there was a lack of willingness by the New Labour gang to do a full and rightful investigation.

A WTF moment.....

George is a bit eccentric but a top class debater.

If there's a twat around (present company excepted) it's Jason Kenney.

I think he is a total twat, but that said I loved watching him effortlessly savage the US senate committee...

Also he shouldnt be banned, freedom of speech is imperative even (or especially) when it is twatish:cool:

Probably corrupt and receiving payments from all sorts of places, but then aren't all politicians?

He is free to blab all he wants. Doesn't mean that he should be welcome in this country. He is becoming a hero for the far left types in Canada, as if they needed the extra batshit sauce on their cornflakes.

He is a big head but can always give a good account of himself. It's difficult to take him seriously since the Big Brother appearance though.


I think poor old Anthony needed a bit more preparation before taking on George in this phone in:

Yes, a WTF moment all right. as in WTF are you on about? Galloway wasn't a part of new labour - he was booted out in '03 and then stood independently. He may have had sympathisers in the party - but those at the top hated him. Blair would have gladly hung him out to dry.

Did you even watch the senate committee hearings? They talk about his alleged iraqi oil profits - it turns out all the allegations were made up. He may be an attention seeking twat, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to cheer him on when he makes the people that made this shit up about him look like total knobs (as Oink put it better than I could).
