George Galloway (The Workers' Party) decided to let Keir Starmer (Labour) have both barrels today. Some highlights:
'Starmer is a block of wood, so wooden the birds are trying to nest in him. He is Blair without any of the polish. In the 24-hour TV media age you cannot prosper when you have no personality or colourful character. Starmer is a desiccated calculating machine that has gone haywire.'
'At least Burnham and Rayner speak human.'
He added: 'Labour is going out in a puff of wokery. Its trans-mania infatuation has turned off millions. The visceral dislike of Labour on white English working-class estates is palpable. People have concluded Labour doesn't like them – and they heartily reciprocate.'
We've disagreed in the past George, but I wholeheartedly approve of these sentiments.
I remember George Galloway calling people out, primarily in the U.S., during the build up to the Iraq invasion. I was impressed with his rhetoric, but knew nothing about him, then he faded from the scene.
Did you see the quote about Saddam in the article? George knew...
Oh yeah, I remember him talking about that. There was hope that he would expose more, but that was back when I thought people would respond to facts and truth in a reasonable way. Boy was I ever naive.
I imagine the conversation I could have with my 1990s self. “In your lifetime, you will eventually see through the mirage, and your naive skepticism about everything will be justified.”
