George Galloway supports New Labour in the coming election battle in Glasgow Eas

George Galloway supports New Labour in the coming election battle in Glasgow East



In Galloway's latest rant against Scottish nationalism in the Daily Record, 07/07/08 he begins to sound more and more like a anti-Scot in a right-wing London based tabloid. He repeats the myths and lies that Scottish oil is going to run out, and he claims that English taxpayers subsidize Scottish students, pensioners and prescription charges.



He compares Scotland to Slovakia, and claims that Scotland doesn't have the maturity to run its own affairs.

The dictator-loving lickspittle is calling on people to support New Labour's Margaret Curran on July 24. Over the decades Labour has done nothing for Glasgow East, except take the people's vote and keep them shackled in poverty.

Is he hoping to be re-invited into the Labour party he so loves, now that the Respect experiment has failed?

And what right has a English based MP to slag of the Scottish people.

.He has no principles. He is willing to support the pro-war party against a antiwar party, just because he is a rabid unionist.

He makes his living in England and no doubt that is the reason he is repeating the anti-Scottish lies and myths so as to kiss-up to his target audience.

His b/s Talk Sport show is on at the Weekends late. Check listings as he sometimes switches days and times. You can text the wierdo at 81089.

Good for Galloway

Thanks for drawing my attention to Galloway's article - it's about time he made his position on nationalism clear as it hasn't always been so in the past (regarding Iraqi and Bangladeshi nationalism). To describe Labour as "the pro - war party" ignores the anti - war MPs and members who have attempted to change the policy of the government. Does Margaret Curran support the wars? Galloway certainly doesn't.
Galloway has consistently claimed to be a socialist, and socialism should always be against nationalism - nationalism is what has always been used by those in power to preserve their position and cut across workers' unity.
