The George Galloway "Unity Party" thread


Ross.

Recommended Posts

What an absolute piece of shit Galloway is. Well done to the Labour candidate, even if it means we are probably stuck with Starmer for a bit longer. It would have been depressing if intimidation and harassment had won the day, even more so in a constituency where a candidate was actually murdered.

He won 8000 votes that normally would have gone to Labour. 

He’s a right wing plant now. 

John Curtis reckons he took a fair number of bigot votes off the Tories too.

He was always going to get a lot of votes in this constituency, unfortunately. I am just surprised it wasn't enough to take down Labour given the Tories looked a shoe in after that weird local party that got 5k votes last time was a UKIP tribute act. Perhaps the Green candidate being binned for his tweets saved the day for Labour. 

Galloway will be found at the next by election with an electorate containing a high Muslim population as it's the only place he'll win any significant number of votes by focusing on Palestine. Failing that, maybe he'll take another crack at Bradford whenever the GE comes. Probably with another disgusting personal campaign against whomever he's up against. 

An odious, odious man and a gutter politician. Not unlike Alex Salmond, in some ways - he's had his moment and needs to just f**k off for everyone's sake but the ego won't allow it.

It’s important to do proper analysis about what happens in elections. Impartial, empirical analysis that focuses on facts. That way we can understand why candidates get the support they do.

On that note I found this great Twitter thread that goes into all the detail on why Galloway lost. Really covers all the bases!

Suggestion is that he's eyeing up Poplar and Limehouse.  The current MP is Apsana Begum, who is facing prosecution for fraud in relation to her obtaining a council flat.  Trial begins later this month, if she's found guilty she could be forced to step down.  Galloway stood there in 2010 after winning Bethnal Green in 2005, he got absolutely smashed.

Just heard Peter Mandleson call out Gorgeous George's campaign for racism and homophobia.
Shots fired!


Fucking hell I’m all for dunking on that odious piece of shit but some people really don’t have any credibility to join in and Epstein associates should be at the top of the pile

That was a disgusting campaign where his supporters indulged in blatant antisemitism against Oona King.

Absolutely no need for it.

I assume the going to court thing is just so he can have a fundraiser for the legal costs, spend a fraction of it and then just keep the rest?

A reasonable enough gig for him, all it requires is that he totally humiliates himself on a regular basis.
