Default George Galloway

What is everyones take on him?

My take on him is he has came on the show to slate Blair going to war and to get the anti war message across to the public. We have already heard him shouting stop the war or something along those lines on his walk in.

I have respect for him as he stood up to the us senate but he seems a nutter. I have read various articles about him on the web and pretty confused about who this guy actually is. He is an Mp he made that clear from the start but anyone know much about his party and history?

One story which hasnt been proven either way is http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...841396,00.html
