Galloway says Blair will be forced to resign
2005-05-02
Tony Blair will be forced to resign soon after winning a small parliamentary majority in this week's British election, a rebel politician has said. George Galloway, who was expelled from the ruling Labour Party in October 2003, told Gulf News the Prime Minister has lost people's trust due to the invasion of Iraq. "Dozens maybe scores of his MPs are not going to win because of his lying and I don't think he will last much longer. I think he may be out within the year. I think his majority will be substantially reduced and Gordon Brown will replace him quite quickly," he said on Friday. Galloway was speaking to Gulf News in Bethnal Green and Bow, East London, where he is campaigning to become the constituency's next MP. He is running as leader of a new party called Respect, which calls for an end to the occupation of Iraq, a minimum wage of £8 (Dh56) an hour and the abolition of council tax.

#8  BTW, the fundie-loonies are against Galloway cause they want to boycott the election entirely, not out of love for Tony. The seat Galloway is up for in East London has about ZERO chance of electing a Tory, IIUC. A vote for Galloway instead of Oona King cant elect a tory, it CAN elect Galloway - but that wouldnt help the Tories when it came to forming a govt. Its kinda like voting for Nader in the District of Columbia - a vote for Ralph may have been a vote for Bush in Ohio, but it wasnt in DC.

#7  In the Scotsman's Dictionary, under the heading "Loopy Commie Git", there's a picture of Gorgeous George.

Or there should be, anyway. Fake, but accurate.

#6  Galloway won't be sharing that flat for much longer. She's announced that she'll be divorcing him.

#5  Well the guy is/was Arafat's nephew by marriage

Life of outrage (Galloway is Arafat's nephew-by-marriage)

As they say: "Like Uncle, like Nephew!"

Galloway shares a Glasgow flat with wife Aminah Abu-Zayyhad, a niece of PLO chief Yasser Arafat.

#4  Per Internet Haganah, Al-Mujaharoun in London has a new website: www.thesavioursect.org.uk

You can see their lead story decrying and dissing Galloway and his Respect Party in the screen capture at the Haganah link. Lovely fellows, these.

#3  Since the Muzzies now favor Blair cuz they're askeered of the Tories, does this mean they'll be looking for Galloway to beat him up some more?

Cool.

Galloway wants a British minimum wage of $16 an hour. You gotta love it.
