pandarilla Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-26352451 Has anyone seen this clip from the BBC Scotland website? Its a Q&A session with Galloway and it made me so angry I had to post it. The first three or four questions are hideously easy. He is an incredibly skilled debater and the interviewer decides to lob him stuff that he gets everyday on Twitter - and therefore has a very strong answer to. I only watched the first 7 or 8 minutes so apologies if it gets better but this was just a opportunity for him to make his case. I'd love to talk to him one on one without the big show that he's so good at. I agree with most of the points he makes and would consider him as fairly reflective of my political leanings. But he is so far off in relation to Independence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 To get George in favour of independence Salmond needs to set up a tinpot TV station and give him a slot to go along with his programmes on Press TV, Russia Today and that bammy Lebanese channel he had.

pandarilla Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 The questions are so easy that they reflect a lot of the points made against George by the yes camp on here. Comparing Scotland with either Palestine or Ireland is pretty much ridiculous. If folk on here think they were making a zinger of a point then they were way off. It was so easy for him to deflect those points. I want Galloway to defend the corruption of Westminster politics, of which he has always been a part of. We have a chance to create something different and for him to write that off is hypocritical in the extreme. If he was to return to Scottish politics I reckon he would build a bigger presence with Respect than he has down south. PR would absolutely suit a small left-wing party - and the bomb-scare that is the Scottish Socialist project for the past 15 years shows their is a real appetite - if only someone could get it organised with a bit of credibility. Not sure if Galloway could pull that off but it would be interesting to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastEnd Jonny Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Wow I thought it was a joke when I heard that some people compare the independence of Palestine and Crimea to that of Scotland. Absolutely ridiculous. Galloway did well in that Q&A interview but his nonsense about the Scottish electorate being somewhat pivotal in elections where Labour win is nonsense. Whenever Labour have won a majority in Westminster, they would have done so with or without the Scottish vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bairn Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Galloway is a scum bad and the laughing stock of British politics. Let's leave him to be ignored by the rest of the parliament until he's rightfully papped out by Labour in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecto Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I put Galloway in the same group as Farage, they both are good speakers, believe in what they say, and both like the sound of their own voice, but they both attempt to be the "pantomime villain" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is his Catholicism (or lack thereof) relevant? Part of the reason he is against independence is because the Protestants would eat the Catholics in an independent Scotland,i think.

Jamaldo Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Part of the reason he is against independence is because the Protestants would eat the Catholics in an independent Scotland,i think. Except he knows perfectly well that that is bollocks. The result of the referendum will have absolutely no bearing on relations between Catholics and Protestants and he knows this. He'll back independence for any random backwater bin of an area except for a country that undoubtedly already has the infrastructure in place to make a success of going it alone. The man is a total fud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjw Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Sorry misunderstood him. In a recent Twitter exchange over an alleged 'sectarian' attack on Celtic manager Neil Lennon, George claimed this was further proof of Protestant-establishment power, and that the problem would only multiply with a Yes vote:"but this element will be 12x more significant in Indy Scotland'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
