What of Galloway’s latest sally north of the Border? Workers Party of Britain goes live pic.twitter.com/gG2cvTNgiT, — George Galloway (@georgegalloway) December 14, 2019. The son of a Scottish working-class dad, he imbibed left-wing politics at his Irish mother’s knee – including his lifelong support for a re-united Ireland, a contradiction he usually keeps well under his homburg when spouting defence of the Union.
He is his own worst enemy. One danger is that Galloway will provoke enough media attention to divert the focus of the indy campaign – such as it is, officially – towards defending the European Union rather than asserting the case for Scottish self-determination. Galloway is a child of the post-war reconstruction boom in Scotland and the subsequent de-industrialisation in the turbulent, revolutionary 1970s that gave birth to the modern SNP. It's still around, and is at least as pro-Brexit as Galloway is. At the time, many of us inside the Labour Party saw Galloway as the standard-bearer for the left and for a genuine home rule Scottish Parliament.

In another Dr Who time dimension, there is a George Galloway who became the brilliant, radical leader of a revivified Scottish Labour Party, and who championed the creation of a genuine home rule parliament sitting in Dundee or Glasgow.

Founded in 2003 by David Lange, Israellycool has become one of the largest English-language blogs in Israel. Galloway seemed poised to lead this Labour-CP alliance in a new, devolved parliament. This was a product of the Communist Party’s then influence inside Scottish Labour, exercised through the industrial trade unions and Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC).

Will surely resonate with some Corbynistas given their similar opinions displayed on here. George Galloway wants MSPs to join the Alliance for Unity and be 'King makers'. Its real import has less to do with Galloway himself and more with the fact the Tories – directed by arch-plotter Michael Gove – see him as a tool to sow division in the working-class, Eurosceptic wing of the national movement. He is now self-proclaimed “leader” of the tiny Workers Party of Great Britain (but not Northern Ireland) – a Marxist, pro-Brexit groupuscule run by his acolyte and Maoist firebrand Joti Brar. But an informal alliance soon formed as both demagogues attacked the various C-list liberals who had turned up to defend globalisation. No Gulf War was created in response to the US and Britain’s attempts to start yet another conflict in the middle east, this time with Iran. Data returned from the Piano 'meterActive/meterExpired' callback event. First, Galloway’s narrow Stalinism provoked the enmity of not only the UK Labour leadership under Neil Kinnock and former Communist Denis Healey but of John Smith, the liberal rising star of the pro-devolution forces in the Scottish party. The major caveat was that Galloway’s politics were resolutely Stalinist rather than New Left – top down, manipulative, bureaucratic, workerist, suspicious of the new feminism, and resolutely pro-Soviet. George Galloway Messes Up Launch of New Political Party. What is this so-called unifying “patriotism” Galloway shares with Michael Gove, Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson? The Respect Party was a left-wing to far-left, socialist political party active in the United Kingdom between 2004 and 2016. Or his ill-judged praise of Saddam Hussein in 1994, when he told the sadistic Iraqi dictator: “Sir, I salute your courage, your strength, your indefatigability.”. Presumably, given the electoral arithmetic, this fantastical lash-up would be led by the Scottish Tories under Douglas Ross. Let\'s just say it … George Galloway is too confused politically to be overtly pro-capitalist. It is important that we continue to promote these adverts as our local businesses need as much support as possible during these challenging times. At a packed meeting in Southall last Friday (10 January), George Galloway – broadcaster, writer and leader of the Workers Party of Britain – launched a new and much-needed antiwar campaign group – one with anti-imperialism at its very heart. Galloway's new party website branded the Labour party a 'faithful servant of British imperialism' and said the anti-Semitism row that engulfed Jeremy Corbyn and his recent election campaign was a work of 'fiction' and compared it to the work of Nazi propaganda chief, Joseph Goebbels. Last year, Galloway shared an anti-globalist platform with the odious Steve Bannon, in (of all places) a Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Kazakhstan. But his ingrained, manipulative Stalinist approach to politics leads to absurdities, such as comparing opposition to the SNP to the fight against Nazism. That was the golden promise George held during the Thatcherite 1980s. Thus he defended sharing a pro-Brexit platform with Nigel Farage as akin to Churchill’s wartime pact with Stalin – though George did not inform us which of these two mighty prototypes he identified with. That was the golden promise George held during the Thatcherite 1980s. Earlier this evening, the detestable George Galloway tried to make a live announcement for the launch of his new political party, the Workers Party of Britain. If you are dissatisfied with the response provided you can contact IPSO here. You must be joking. Update: It has not been a good couple of days for Galloway.

This aims to thwart an SNP majority at next year’s Holyrood election and so form a government of “national unity” provided Galloway has enough MSPs to be (in the Alliance’s words) “king makers”. A Gannett Company. It is a project of Israellycool Israel Advocacy, a registered Israeli non-profit.

Your mission:Retweets for below tweet > Votes for @georgegalloway, We're timing you. Somewhere buried deep inside the George Galloway that exists today lies a bitter memory of that lost hope – a bitterness that will drive him to do all in his power to defeat the national movement over the next few years. As a subscriber, you are shown 80% less display advertising when reading our articles. Galloway joined the Labour Young Socialists at 13 and was chair of the party by 26 – an amazing leap that suggested a new generation of leaders had emerged capable of reforming the sclerotic, corrupt Labour machine in Scotland. Scottish independence: Michael Gove sparks anger with voting rights comment. Agents.

A lawyer by education, David Lange - founder and managing editor of Israellycool - found his calling in advocating for Israel and the Jewish people. As a result, every political project Galloway has been associated with has foundered on his own inability to co-operate with others.

What hope do George Galloway and Michael Gove have of saving the Union.

I know I am a Jew and a Zionist but even I see the irony in the Workers Party feed not working.
