George Galloway is a total prick part n to the power of...

No words needed

George Galloway is a shit part 216,849

Just a week after his comments on the alleged Assnge rape Galloway is in the shit again and with good cause:

On Sunday Galloway  called someone a "window-licker" (a derogatory term for a disabled person) in a conversation on Twitter. He made the comment during a conversation on Sunday. He tweeted to @Hawfa: "you badly need medical help son. Will decent Rangers fans please substitute this windae-licker … " The tweet was attacked as insensitive by fellow Twitter users

 In 2003, the term was voted third most offensive that could be used relating to disability in a poll run for the BBC's Ouch! disability talk show. Dan Scorer, senior campaigns and policy manager at the learning disability charity Mencap said: "We are appalled that George Galloway, a member of parliament, has used this unacceptable term of abuse, which is deeply offensive to disabled people. Hate crime and bullying are a daily reality for many disabled people and the use of language like this only furthers hostility and violence. We call on him to apologise immediately."

 Galloway is in Indonesia and could not be immediately contacted.

Why anyone is stupid enough to vote for this shit is utterly beyond me.

George Galloway SS*: Soi-disant Egypt Expert

I know this is a bit late (thanks patellar tendon!) but George Galloway SS* is a tad peeved.

In his Daily Record self adoration piece last week (for anyone else that would be a column) he bemoaned the fact that nobody was asking his opinion about the current situation in Egypt

Don't you think it's a little strange? All the television and newspapers who covered my deportation from Egypt last year…. have completely ignored me during these, the last days of the tyrant's power.

He goes on to announce that he is viewed as almost god-like in Egypt with powers of clairvoyance that puts Nostradamus to shame:

I am the most popular British person in Egypt the man who knew about the imminent downfall of Mubarak. (okay perhaps I exaggerate but you get the drift)

Yet, I have not been interviewed or asked for a comment once by the lamestream media as the Egyptian masses poured on to the streets in their millions.

Hmm perhaps it is because you are a self-aggandising arsehole who will kiss the arse of just about any tyrant just so long as they are anti-American. I wonder if this is why the media hasn’t considered him their first choice as pundit.

* SS in this case stands for Stalinist Shithead and does not relate to the Schutzstaffel

Now Galloway name drops Carlos the Jackal

Now I know that there are many people who love to name drop. I’ve done it once or twice myself. But there are limits – If I had gone to tea with Fred West and Harold Shipman, I don’t think that is something I would broadcast to the world.

But then I’m not George Galloway, SS* and I’m not paid good money to write in a Scottish newspaper every Monday (or to at as a cats paw for the Iranian regime).

In today’s Daily Record Galloway, SS**, recounts the details of a telephone conversation he had recently with, of all people, Carlos the Jackal.

“Sitting with my lawyer in Beirut last week, the meeting was interrupted by a call from one of his clients in Paris.

After an interminable conversation in Arabic, the lawyer handed the phone to me.

"It's an honour to talk to you, comrade Galloway. This is Commander Carlos, the political prisoner in Paris," he said.

For it was indeed Carlos the Jackal on the phone to me and appearing in a film of the same name for you in cinemas everywhere right now. Not that Carlos thinks much of the movie.

"It's propaganda," he told me when I tried to change the subject to less dangerous territory. "They make out I am a psychopath, shooting anywhere. They have me as a drug addict, when I have never taken drugs in my life, an alcoholic, a womaniser... "

…Carlos the Jackal, in the 13th year of his sentence, is currently the subject of negotiations between the prisoner's home government of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and the French authorities.

Who knows, maybe he will be transferred to his homeland? Maybe then I should make the real movie of the life of "Commander Carlos".

I wonder what the real movie of “Commander Carlos” would be?

The tale of a lantern-jawed freedom fighter from the barrios who fought injustice and for the freedom of the oppressed everywhere?

Or perhaps he will be a bit more honest and portray Carlos as the poor little rich kid turned mercenary with a bit of ideology tacked on for good measure(and as mercenaries go he wasn’t all that good given the number of screwed up missions)

Somehow I feel he will go for something close to the former rather than the latter.

Ah well..,



* As stated in previous posts about Galloway SS stands for Stalinist Shithead and is not a reference to Schutzstaffel

** This time it stands for slimy shit-stain. I know that should be SSS but hopefully the hyphen should prevent that…

.. and bye bye Georgie

George Galloway is no longer an MP... oh dear, what a shame.... never mind!

More tedious crap from George Galloway in today's Record

George Galloway SS* craps on further about Iran in today's Daily Record. Included in the column are indications of possible litigation against the Sunday Herald and an intimation that the protests were provoked by foreign agents.

Ach I can't be bothered with going any further into Galloway's bullshit. The man is a waste of rations. In the case of Iran he is simply a shill for what is most certainly an ugly regime.

But perhaps he will shock us all by doing something out of character like supporting, say, Mansoor Osanloo, the imprisoned union activist.

SS* Galloway: Football 30 - Iran 12

It is interesting to note that Galloway's Daily Record http://blogs.dailyrecord.co.uk/georgegalloway/ column today devotes 30 lines or part lines to the demise of Setanta Sport and its effect on the Scottish Premier League and just 12lines to Iran, of which a large part is devoted to pouring scorn on John Simpson.

Even though the Record is a Scottish paper and events affecting the SPL are important it does seem that Galloway, who has such "progressive" views (hahahaha), seems to have his priorities a tad askew.

(* SS standing of course for Stalinist Shithead)

Not one iota of evidence George? Press TV report may indicate otherwise!

George Galloway’s confident assertions that the Iranian elections were as free, fair and as transparent as the finest glass money can buy are perhaps undermined a tad by a news item on Press TV, the Iranian news channel he works for.

My thanks go to Bryan of Why Now? for drawing my attention to this item. (Why Now? is always well worth a read)

Press TV reports that Iran's Guardian Council has indicated that the number of votes collected in 50 cities surpass the number of people eligible to cast ballot in those areas.

The council's Spokesman Abbas-Ali Kadkhodaei, made the remarks in response to complaints filed by Mohsen Rezaei -- a defeated candidate in the June 12 Presidential election.

"Statistics provided by the candidates, who claim more than 100% of those eligible have cast their ballot in 80-170 cities are not accurate -- the incident has happened in only 50 cities," Kadkhodaei said.

Kadkhodaei further explained that the voter turnout of above 100% in some cities is a normal phenomenon because there is no legal limitation for people to vote for the presidential elections in another city or province to which people often travel or commute.

The spokesman, however, said that although the vote tally affected by such issues could be over 3 million and would not noticeably affect the outcome of the election.

He, however, added that the council could, at the request of the candidates, re-count the affected ballot boxes, and determine " whether the possible change in the tally is decisive in the election results,"

Rezaei, along with Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, reported more than 646 'irregularities' in the electoral process and submitted their complaints to the body responsible for overseeing the election -- the Guardian Council.

Mousavi and Karroubi have called on the council to nullify Friday's vote and hold the election anew. This is while President Ahmadinejad and his Interior Minister Sadeq Mahsouli have rejected any possibility of fraud, saying that the election was free and fair.

Just 50 cities then? Well call me a pedant but irregularities in even 50 cities is a major cause for concern and surely a good reason for a rerun of the election. If 3 million votes can be affected than why not 11 million?

It looks to me that the Guardian Council are covering their backs. They have indeed highlighted a number of irregularities so in their mind they have discharged their duties and life can return to normal.

The problem is that a lot of the people of Iran (certainly and not just the “gilded youth” or “liberal elites” as Milne and Galloway describe them) are not fooled. This may not transfer to further large scale protests at present but there is a huge reservoir of resentment will boil over again at some stage, perhaps very soon

George Galloway sneers at John Simpson but ignores Iran protests

Last week George Galloway declared that the Iranian election was fair and square and the result absolutely, and utterly reflected the voting patterns of the Iranian people. The protestors on the other hand were simply the liberal elite who would lose interest quickly.

It was therefore interesting to go to the Daily Record to see what Galloway had to say on last week’s events in Iran. (he has a weekly column in the Daily Record.. where does he find the time) Do we see a resounding condemnation of the Iranian regime’s attacks on protestors? Do we my arse!

Firstly George waxes lyrical about Virgin Atlantic in what could be a paid advert! He devotes the more column inches too snide attacks on his erstwhile Labour colleagues than he does on the situation in Iran

When it comes to Iran he devotes more of his time to slagging off the BBC’s apparent bias and John Simpson’s coverage than to any other issue

“I just wish people like John Simpson would admit that the BBC - that's the Bush and Blair Corporation - has an agenda in its coverage of Iran, which is vehemently antigovernment.Poor old John looks a shadow - OK, a pretty substantial shadow - of his former confident and incisive self, falling over his words as he hams a take into a blurry digicam from a toilet in Tehran, or wherever he sends these faltering reports from. “

George remains resolute in his view that there is no evidence of electoral fraud

"Can we just look at the facts here, which sadly get in the way of a good story? We do not have one iota of evidence that the Iranian election was fiddled. Until we do, we should respect the result."

And here is his support for the protestors:

As we should the rights of the Tehran protesters to demonstrate peacefully on the streets without being shot or beaten up by government militias or soldiers.

In Galloway World, the election was fair and the BBC is biased against the Iranian authorities.(Or should that be the OBC now that Obama and Brown are president and prime minister George...). Perhaps the BBC should have gone out and sought the views of the Basij and the Revolutionary Guard

Galloway gives no appreciable support to the protestors apart from a throwaway line that he can bring out in the future to show everyone that he supported the protests all along. But then what can we expect from this opportunistic Stalinist Shithead?.

George Galloway sneers at Iran protestors

It is said of George Galloway that there is not a tyrant or repressive regime he will not embrace with open arms. Not content in the past to embrace Saddam Hussein (although to be fair so did Donald Rumsfeld!), deny the Tianamen Square killings he now has some unpleasant things to say about the situation in Iran:

In his Daily Record column on June 15 (Titled You can count on the fact election was fair) he says:

There are grounds for being surprised at the result of the Iranian election. Even grounds for being disappointed. But there are absolutely no grounds for the cats' chorus of criticism and allegations now emanating from some quarters after the cookie crumbled the wrong way....

I have been more closely interested than normal in this poll. I present two weekly shows for Iranian-owned Press TV. As such, I know that, uniquely for a developing country, the Iranian broadcast media went to extraordinary lengths to be fair to all four presidential candidates. ...

This massive exercise took place without trouble of any kind - the polling stations were kept open longer than required to facilitate the huge lines of people outside. Indeed, that's one of the reasons I discount the opposition complaints.When a candidate is reduced to protesting that too MANY people were allowed to vote, you know he's in trouble.The counting, too, was awesome. And, by the way, there were observers from all four camps present throughout these stages.

Although the western media largely did the usual thing - not straying far from their five-star hotels, talking to those who would happily talk to them and especially if they spoke English - it's clear they mistook the plusher parts of the capital for the country at large. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad commands the loyalty of the poor, the working class and the rural voters whose development he has championed.

He lives like them, looks like them - he's never worn a suit since becoming president - and there's more of them than the English speaking more liberal elites now on the streets demonstrating.

It will soon fizzle out.

This election almost mirrors the class composition of the recent polls in Venezuela. President Hugo Chavez has exactly the same friends in his country. And the same enemies. I've said many times that Ahmadinejad's comments about the Holocaust are a disgrace. His rhetoric can be ugly and he does not play well in Peoria, the mid-west weather vane here in the US where I am at present.

But he is the president of an important country and we'll just have to accept it.

So presumably in Galloway World the protestors are salon liberals, malcontents and enemies of the Islamic paradise . Or perhaps George is crying in anticipation of the possible fall of another beloved repressive state (Remember his quote “I think the disappearance of the Soviet Union is the biggest catastrophe of my life” )

Well it seems that things have NOT fizzled out so soon. There is a groundswell for change in Iran and to call that a cat’s chorus is an utter insult.

Sadly I don’t expect that the protests will bring about the sort of changes that many hope for but they deserve our unreserved support.

Galloway on the other hand can go f%&k himself.

Hat tip to Harry's Place

Agreeing with Galloway and Rosindell

Like many other deep line tube stations Bethnal Green was used as an air raid shelter by many East enders. Although the Blitz had subsided by 1943 (and the V-1 and V-2 attacks were a year into the future) the station was the site of an incident that saw the death of over 170 civilians. At 8:17 pm on 3 March 1943 an air-raid warning sounded, causing an orderly flow of people down into the station’s booking office. Ten minutes later an anti-aircraft battery at Victoria Park a few hundred yards away launched a salvo new anti aircraft rockets. The weapon was secret, and the unfamiliar explosion caused a panic. As the crowd surged forward towards the shelter, a woman, possibly carrying a baby, tripped on the stairs, causing many others to fall. Within a few seconds 300 people were crushed into the tiny stairwell. 173 people were dead at the scene, with one more dying in hospital later; 62 of the dead were children. It is believed that this was the greatest loss of civilian life through any single incident in Britain during WWII

It was not until 50 years after the disaster that a discreet commemorative plaque was erected at the site; survivors want a more permanent memorial. Andrew Rosindell has tabled a Commons motion to support the campaign. The motion has been backed by nine other MPs. Last year George Galloway introduced a similar early day motion which attracted the support of 37 MPs.

Both readers of the Poor Mouth will probably realise I have little time for either Gorgon George or Poltroon Rosindell but credit where credit is due.I wish his EDM had received more support.

George Galloway beggars belief once again

No further words required, except to state the blindingly obvious: The man is an utter arsehole
