How this anti-Semitic , russian propaganda, washed up idiot is given airtime or is attracting support is sad. Everything he ever did was for the greater glory of Gorgeous George. He should just have stood as The Galloway Party because it would have fooled folk in Galloway while being an apt name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'm not a huge fan of Martin Geissler but thought he handled the utterly obnoxious Galloway pretty well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugster Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Genuinely think he’s mentally ill. I remember him absolutely tearing the senate to shreds when he appeared in front of them accused of doing oil deals with Iraq. Look at the nick of him now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) He's now a man who opposes the partitioning of Ireland (so much so that he refers to Northern Ireland as 'the north of Ireland') but supports it for Scotland. He advocated No last time but it wasn't from the place he's coming from now. He was in favour of the unity of Britain and the unity of Europe and was very pro-freedom of movement. He was a Scottish unionist but certainly not a British nationalist. You can't say that now - he's quite literally walking around in red, white and blue and claiming he'll vote Tory as well as his gang of ex-Ukippers and in the H&I the nutter from the Scottish Christian Party. The generally more sane Galloway couldn't get elected ten years ago. There's about as much as chance of this George Galloway walking the halls of Holyrood in May as there is of him walking on Mars.

MONKMAN Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 He used to support Dundee Utd...then Celtic and no doubt Rangers now with his Union flag hoisted high. He’s a good Queens man, now that he lives in rural Dumfriesshire. When I said a good queens man, I mean he tweeted about them a couple of times. He then got invited to a game by our fuckwit chairman during lockdown, something he plastered all over social media, much to the anger of the fans and pretty much everyone. This obviously got national media attention, which was clearly his plan all along, before he slithered off back into whatever hole he came from. By hole, I mean the large country house he now resides in just outside Dumfries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many list seats are there in South, let's say there are 4. Please explain why Galloway gets 1 of them with 6% of vote..considering SNP are unlikely to get many of the constituency seats so will hoover up some lists as they are probably at least 20plus percent list in South Scotland. That's not to mention what labour and greens will get on list as they won't near winning a constituency. I would suggest galloway will need at least 15% on list in South Scotland to have any chance. There are 7 seats in every region, and on 2016 numbers 6% of the vote would have comfortably won a South seat. That total would have won a seat for a list only party in every region other that Mid & Fife (where the Greens took the last seat with 6.1%) and how split South is makes it more comfortable, not less. The constituency seats went 4 SNP, 4 Tory & 1 Labour, meaning SNP & Tory list totals were divided by 5 and Labour by 2. List totals - SNP - 120217 38.3% (24043) Tory - 100753 32.1% (20150) Lab - 56072 17.8% (28036) Green - 14773 4.7% Lib Dems - 11775 3.7% UKIP - 6726 2.1% That meant: Seat 1 - Labour 28036 Seat 2 - SNP 24043 Seat 3 - Tory 20150 Seat 4 - SNP 20036 Seat 5 - Lab 18690 Seat 6 - SNP 17173 Seat 7 - Tory 16792 8th - SNP 15027 - need 14128 more votes for seat 7 9th - Green 14773 - need 2020 more votes for seat 7 10th - Tory 14393 11th - Lab 14018 Exactly 6% of the votes would have been 18,851, putting them in seat number 5 without being close to missing out. For the record I don’t see them doing nearly as well as that but while constituencies could change hands and change the arithmetic, if anyone takes 6% in South there's no way they aren't winning a seat. Particularly when in A4U's case that would surely see a considerable drop in the Tory vote along with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 If you have access to bbc sounds, may I point you towards that platform and Laura's winding up of the self styled hammer of the hats nats. Approx 07:45 He made a complete fool of himself by twice accusing Martin Giesler of pulling her strings. It appears that we have yet another misogynist outing themselves with their own stupidity. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
