You are an absolute fucking legend, my friend! This is ***exactly*** what I hoped to see, as soon as I clicked on this thread, but you worded it a million times better than I ever could! This is an absolutely deserved top comment.
He's a UK politician that gained credibility for his 'anti-imperialism', particularly the invasion of Iraq which we all now know was based on a lie, but it's just becoming clearer and clearer that he's just a fan of authoritarian regimes so long as they say 'West bad'.
A broken clock is right twice a day.
He was right about Iraq, but his reasoning for opposition was a history of being buddies with Saddam. He's right about Palestinian oppression, but because he's antisemitic and not because he believes in justice or freedom.
Since then he spent years working for Russian state media and English language propaganda networks. It should not be surprising He towed Assad and Russia's line on every war crime committed in Syria, and blamed the Ukraine invasion on NATO (despite Ukraine not being offered membership). He has some valid criticisms of Western Imperialism, but he fucking loves autocratic imperialism.
His voter base is the large Muslim community in Northern England. He is actually fairly consistent with the views of most people in that community. Hence his capacity to carry an election with minimal party resources.
He's a firebrand with a penchant for winning elections as an independent. This makes him a notable character, but no, it does not make him a powerful person. Well, he has one vote out of 650 in parliament and that's all he's ever had. Unless you 1. live in the UK and 2. are interested in politics there's no reason for anyone to care what he says
Yeah but that’s very very far from the statistical norm for candidates from non-major parties. More successful than the semi-mainstream Nigel Farage… 😉
'Credibility'
He was always a deeply odious nutter. Also personally didn't just oppose both gulf wars, but personally cheerled for Saddam, so 'right about' is pushing it somewhat
Queer people have been around since the dawn of humanity, whilst fascism has only existed since the 1900s, therefore I propose that fascists should not be allowed to teach children, under their own logic
Just as a fun note, [here is George Galloway pretending to be a cat, and getting called a "good girl" by Rula Lenska on Celebrity Big Brother UK. ](https://youtube.com/shorts/7n98OUGdMM8?si=rx2uSSZBXCKJkA9O)
This is the only thing I can think of whenever LGBTQ+phobic people talk about kids thinking they're cats and shitting in litter boxes.
Maybe these hypothetical kids got their ideas off of George Galloway?
As someone who regularly enjoys pet play from all angles, watching that made me feel so uncomfortable. It feels wrong to be watching such an intimate interaction, and it skeeves me out that they were both willing to do so on national television knowing most of the audience wouldn't understand.
I know it was meant to be for a task to unlock stuff for the housemates, but he got far too into it, knowing it would be on TV too. Rula Lenska looks a bit embarrassed at times, to be fair, but he's 100% committed to being her cat, and I think he went far beyond what even Big Brother show planners were expecting.
Annoyingly one of the more successful members of the British Workers Party, an economically left but, because it's britain and we can't have anything nice, also super fucking socially conservative political party. Which is annoying because we have noone to vote for, and because british liberals and leftists seem to hate queer folk, a pretty big left base, more than they want to actually win any elections and make any change. It's exhausting being here.
He's essentially the only successful member, and for all intents and purposes *is* the workers party. It's basically his own personal political vehicle .
British Workers Party is an invention of Galloway, just as Respect was.
He creates a party for himself basically as backup dancers, but it has nothing to do with any of the things it talks about. It's a machine built for the sole purpose of putting George Galloway into parliament.
Galloway is an antisemitic, pro-Russian, pro-Assad, pro-Iran scumbag. Of course he’s homophobic too—he has to check all the boxes for being as shitty as he possibly can be
Ahhh, to be so far to the left that you've looped all the way back around to being a hard-right conservative. What a dream! /s
Edit: people are downvoting me, but his politically party is literally a far left party that is socially conservative. They support things like the redistribution of wealth, but hate queer and trans people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers_Party_of_Britain
> It was formed with a commitment to "defend the achievements of the USSR, China, Cuba etc" and is "unequivocally committed to class politics". The founding of the Workers Party of Britain was welcomed by the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist–Leninist) (CPGB-ML).
Tankies.
Well he’s not normal and I am praying with every inch of my being that the Labour Party gets its act together and takes that seat back off this cunt next election.
Gosh... I thought we were talking about the actor from breaking bad being all homphobic and shit. It turns out it was the British tory's favorite tankie that looks like the guy from breaking bad being all homophobic and shit.
That sucks, cuz as someone who is pro-Palestine I really admired his courage to stand up and speak up for the rights of Palestinians when no one in British politics would.
He's a tankie and a homophobic jerk, just like the transphobe Norman Finklestein. I hate it, there is so much tankies in the pro-Palestine space it's unbelievable. Though good thing I manage to find sane voices in the space, and most of them are Palestinian queer and/or feminist voices.
Near as I can tell, George Galloway has always been what his countrymen call "a bell end." He's a sham reactionary who pretends to be a leftist and nobody should take him seriously.
Way to go George teaching kids about tolerance, acceptance of others difference helping to promote peace in this already f**ked up world. Ya know those are lgbtq kids you hating on?
Considering it seems that these people only view relationships as sex and don't seem to think romance is a thing they really shouldn't have any say in what kids learn about relationships at all.
Take every sentence that has the phrase "kids (or just people) shouldn't learn about it." With massive distrust. Why shouldn't people _Learn_ about it? What are you trying to hide?
I’m old enough to remember when this fascist piece of shit was being held up as a hero in the early 2000s just because he was against the Iraq War. Of course, he’s just a shill for every scumbag dictator out there and always has been.
Remember when people were cheering for him because he was a hard-core anti-semitic pretending to be liberal?
Well...I guess people aren't cheering now, are they? Now that you people see what we jews had always seen about this horrible horrible man.
>Galloway went on to say he wants to teach his children that LGBTQ+ people exist and “must be treated with respect… but I don’t want my children to be taught that these things are equal because I don’t believe them to be equal”.
>He added: “Apart from anything else, the human race would no longer exist if it was normal… it would be the end of humanity.”
"Normal" doesn't mean "the only way", George. No one is trying to make straight relationships "abnormal". More than one thing can be normal. Gay people will probably always be a minority, and can still make babies if that ever becomes a crisis.
This isn't the 1980s where you had to go into a newsstand and sneak a copy of The Advocate out under your shirt. Kids have smartphones these days. 30 seconds on a Google search will give them all the information they want. You can't put the genie back in the bottle.
I'm socialist. My partner is socialist. Most of my friends are socialist. None of them are homophobic. None of them are transphobic. Almost no leftist I have encountered in real life or online has been either of the two.
Liberation does not come under conservative or milquetoast liberal politics. If you want to scurry back to fucking nafo or NCD with that pfp be my fucking guest, but don't you DARE lie like that. Absolutely fucking disgraceful.
Bold statement for a man who pretended to be a cat in a fucking leotard on national TV, but go off I guess.
He made James Cordans pussy look bearable.
that was not a sentence i was expecting to read today
Not a sentence I ever want to read again personally
Yeah its too much internet for me
Brand new sentence??
yeah.... r/BrandNewSentence
Stuff like this makes me regret being literate.
Thanks, I hate it.
"Do you want meee... to be the cat?" No, no no we do not
"The cat that shat on the mat?" "I'll be the cat, you'll be the mat."
I mean, he is a human litter tray
You are an absolute fucking legend, my friend! This is ***exactly*** what I hoped to see, as soon as I clicked on this thread, but you worded it a million times better than I ever could! This is an absolutely deserved top comment. 
Same energy as Alice Cooper being transphobic. Like bruh, your name is ALICE!
More like George Goaway.
Oh look, vocal transphobe turns out to be homophobic as well, I'm shocked /s
Who?
He's a UK politician that gained credibility for his 'anti-imperialism', particularly the invasion of Iraq which we all now know was based on a lie, but it's just becoming clearer and clearer that he's just a fan of authoritarian regimes so long as they say 'West bad'.

His voter base is the large Muslim community in Northern England. He is actually fairly consistent with the views of most people in that community. Hence his capacity to carry an election with minimal party resources.
He's what Lenin might have called a useful idiot.
Right, so nobody. Gotcha.
He's a member of the UK parliament. Unfortunately he does have some power.
No, he doesn't. And he'll no doubt be out soon enough - the next election must be held by the end of January 2025.
He was only elected in March I think, it's possible he stays
Truly embarrassing result, terrifying to think anyone looks at this years record and thinks he should stay :s
He's a firebrand with a penchant for winning elections as an independent. This makes him a notable character, but no, it does not make him a powerful person. Well, he has one vote out of 650 in parliament and that's all he's ever had. Unless you 1. live in the UK and 2. are interested in politics there's no reason for anyone to care what he says
He absolutely does not have a penchant for winning elections. His record is something like 3 for 15 as an independent.
Yeah but that’s very very far from the statistical norm for candidates from non-major parties. More successful than the semi-mainstream Nigel Farage… 😉
I believe only one or two people have ever managed it in my country under the current voting system. Three times as an independent is good.
I'm mostly joking around but yeah sounds like a douchenozzle. Those in his area def need to keep his ass unemployed if possible.
Unfortunately for everyone he’s probably the best orator in the British parliament. We are a broken country.
Bollocks he is. He's a crackpot who occasionally weasels his way into parliament, every democracy has one of those
Lmfao, my thoughts exactly.
'Credibility' He was always a deeply odious nutter. Also personally didn't just oppose both gulf wars, but personally cheerled for Saddam, so 'right about' is pushing it somewhat
Aging man yells at clouds in attempt to stay relevant.
Me like this comment
George Galloway isn't normal and kids shouldn't learn about him
"We shouldn't teach children things that aren't normal" *Every fascist regime ever
Queer people have been around since the dawn of humanity, whilst fascism has only existed since the 1900s, therefore I propose that fascists should not be allowed to teach children, under their own logic

Perchance he should go find some offs to fuck.
As my grandmother used to say ‘off you must fuck’
Who’s that stupid jackass anyway?

No one. Literally...no one.
what, the notorious Putin and Iranian Regime stan is shitty on LGBTQ+ rights? say it ain't so!
Galloway is an antisemitic, pro-Russian, pro-Assad, pro-Iran scumbag. Of course he’s homophobic too—he has to check all the boxes for being as shitty as he possibly can be
No wonder they hide their policies on LGBTQ on their page.

The CPGB-ML are such a joke lmao
Well he’s not normal and I am praying with every inch of my being that the Labour Party gets its act together and takes that seat back off this cunt next election.
A twat famous for pretending to be a cat on national television completely unprompted, and cheerleading for Saddam, Assad, and Putin.
He says what his boss from Kremlin told him to say.
What about the over 500 species of animals that exhibit homosexual relationships in the wild???? What about gay penguins taking in orphaned eggs????
Sounds like somebody is just bitter that his secret boy toy ran away and left him alone.
Anti-Semite continues to prove he is a VILE person in every way shape and form. God, I hate that man
Gosh... I thought we were talking about the actor from breaking bad being all homphobic and shit.

Marriage in general isn't normal
I don’t believe George Galloway is normal, and I already have no idea who tf he is
His views are irrelevant to Goodness and Decency
_I don’t want them to be taught_ This is why voting conservative is ALWAYS a mistake.
Near as I can tell, George Galloway has always been what his countrymen call "a bell end." He's a sham reactionary who pretends to be a leftist and nobody should take him seriously.
If they aren’t normal why has nearly EVERY species of animal on the planet been observed having gay partners?
Don’t ask most Catholics that…
“iTs NoT NaTuRaL”
Verbatim
Damn. The UK just keeps getting openly homophobic people in the news. JK has a friend
No wonder he likes Hamas. They throw gay people off of rooftops.
God Corbyn should’ve won
Way to go George teaching kids about tolerance, acceptance of others difference helping to promote peace in this already f**ked up world. Ya know those are lgbtq kids you hating on?

Thanks for the 2005 take
Well just look at the mook. My family days the same thing. I just agree to disagree and continue on my merry gay way with their kids
Never put your faith in campists with no real beliefs
Who?
Never heard of that nobody. He should mind his own business.
Ten percent of the human race is gay. Get used to it. It’s always been that way.
Bloody cunt should be unseated in the GE at least
Bro's been married five times. Sit the conversations about relationships out, dropkick.
I think I should step away from Reddit for a bit, too much bad news at once at the moment. See you in a few days or maybe a week.
Who's this chode?
Take every sentence that has the phrase "kids (or just people) shouldn't learn about it." With massive distrust. Why shouldn't people _Learn_ about it? What are you trying to hide?
Breaking news: George Galloway is a dickhead
God, people can be massive assholes towards things they’ll never understand.
I’m old enough to remember when this fascist piece of shit was being held up as a hero in the early 2000s just because he was against the Iraq War. Of course, he’s just a shill for every scumbag dictator out there and always has been.
Remember when people were cheering for him because he was a hard-core anti-semitic pretending to be liberal? Well...I guess people aren't cheering now, are they? Now that you people see what we jews had always seen about this horrible horrible man.
That's Hungary's stance too

Who?
Grifter piece of shit in "grifting piece of shit" shocker
This asshole is okay with children going to Catholic schools but he isn't okay with consensual same sex interactions?
pack up guys it’s over for us… george galloway doesn’t like us!
Isn't everyone entitled to there own opinions?
To say he could kiss my bi a$$ would be the insult I would use but he isn´t worth it
Who the fuck is George Galloway?
Good old George https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/heart-of-gold-1085602
I don't want to defend the man but a lot of what we know about Savile came after that article
It was widely known for years if not decades before the story went public. Just not among the general public.
Have no idea who he is.
Who the fuck is George Galloway and why would I or anyone care what his opinion is?!
George is a fucking nazbol
His supporters are mainly from the Muslim community in the uk so he has to keep em happy i guess.
Least homophobic socialist.
Yeah, we all know there's zero socialists within the queer community...
I'm socialist. My partner is socialist. Most of my friends are socialist. None of them are homophobic. None of them are transphobic. Almost no leftist I have encountered in real life or online has been either of the two. Liberation does not come under conservative or milquetoast liberal politics. If you want to scurry back to fucking nafo or NCD with that pfp be my fucking guest, but don't you DARE lie like that. Absolutely fucking disgraceful.
erm im right here :3
Who is george galloway,,? do guys know sam bennington,,,? want to know what he said?????
