Title: How does he do it?
Post by: Snoopy on March 30, 2012, 07:26:00 AM
George Galloway wins Bradford West byelection

How does he do it?  "Gorgeous" George keeps managing to win the votes of our strangely tinted cousins ..... How?
Surely even those with only a rudimentary grasp of democracy can see that he will not make one iota of difference to the way we are governed, he cannot do anything for them so why do they support him?

Whatever you think of the boy Galloway, nobody can deny he knows which buttons to push, and when.

He's nobodies fool. He'd get my vote any day. I loved it when he took on the US Senate.

Granted he is nobody's fool but he is a proven liar, an ingrate, a racist, in short a bigoted, self serving, pompous twat.
A word-smith and orator very skilled at avoiding giving an honest answer and turning the tables on honest people to place himself on what he sees as the moral high ground. He is a thief and a con merchant, a chancer and certainly NOT some-one I would welcome at my table. In times past he would be horse whipped and run out of town on a rail.

I seem to recall much the same thoughts being expressed with respect to one Enoch Powell some years back.

Trouble is, the things he was saying have now, for the most part, been proven to be right on the money.

Isn't there a saying about prophets and their own country or something?
