[DemolitionRed]

I don’t particularly like Galloway but I respect what he stands for. The Galloway I respect and understand is the man who wants the west to mind its own business and stop meddling in middle eastern affairs and he has every right to speak out and make his point. If that makes him a traitor or unpatriotic, then I’m sure he can live with that because he can comfort himself in the knowledge that the 2 million people who marched past parliament in 2003 needed a bigger voice than that. When people swarmed into London on that cold blustery day in Feb 03 and peacefully marched past 10 Downing Street, they were ignored. Blair’s blatant dismissal of that march didn’t breed apathy, it bred activism.

When a government refuses to listen to its nation, that nation needs a voice and at that point in time, Galloway was that voice and thanks to people like him, the fall of Blair’s government became immanent.

However, Galloway has said some very stupid things and brought about his own decline in popularity. He’s radically left to the point of making himself look like the bad guy and that’s his own doing. He lost my support when he justified an assassination on Blair because regardless of my sympathies to a suffering middle east, I can’t support someone who uses suggestive language like he sometimes does.
