GOOD OLD "UNCLE GEORGE" IS BACK.....

He was very happy being interviewed on Sky News.
Says he is there for the long haul and will contest seats all over the area in the upcoming local elections. That could be interesting if it happens.

He'll be on Question Time next. Always good to hear, even though I don't agree with all he says.

Still by far his greatest moment - www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1NIuCt72bU

Lived in Mile End, East London for a while when a Respect Party member was our MP. Rumours of vote rigging and ballot inaccuracies a plenty. The guy is a total liability in my view

LG,

He is certainly one of a kind. He can hold his own in debate so BBC Parliament etc may get interesting soon.

The rumours you mentioned are usual when one of the big parties come unstuck; not that I have any axe to grind on his behalf.
It was nice to see the big guns get a bloody nose though, IMO.

George's finest hour? Try this (it's NOT the cat thing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuzlwFXeW3Atry

Never really been a fan of his politics but if you go on youtube and click on just one of many examples of his phone in shows they are quite entertaining, and the bloke more then holds his own in debate.
I think of him as a kind of "Lex Luthor" of the far left

He certainly stood up to the US Senate.

He's a complete fruitcake. Good value in the comedy stakes, mind.

Excellent analysis of Galloway's victory and the reasons behind it:
