7/7 snub for Galloway
 MP George Galloway has been snubbed from a memorial service to the victims of the July 7 bombings - even though the event is in his constituency. The service being held at 2pm tomorrow (Friday) is at the Altab Ali Park in Whitechapel Road. Both Tower Hamlets mayor Shafiqul Haque and council leader Denise Jones have been invited - but not the MP for the area. The park lies in Mr Galloway's Bethnal Green and Bow constituency. His aides have complained to council chiefs saying they were 'frankly amazed' at the decision."I trust this is an oversight and will be immediately rectified," his assistant Rob Hoveman wrote in a letter to Town Hall bosses. "I also trust that he will be invited to speak if speeches are being taken from political representatives." The council was unable to comment. Posted by: ryuge 2006-07-06 |
