Ya’ think Britain has a problem-child in parliament? MP George Galloway is well-known for his Trotskyite antics. But today’s headline from the Sun takes the cake:
TERROR suspect Waheed Zaman met controversial MP George Galloway many times, his sister said last night.
Safeena, 24, said of her 23-year-old brother: “He saw it as his duty to stand up for his community and that’s what led him to know George Galloway. He has a lot of respect for him and has met him many times.”
Previously, his shenanigans led to expulsion from the Labour Party:
In a 28 March 2003, interview with Abu Dhabi TV, Galloway said Tony Blair and George W. Bush had “lied to the British Air Force and Navy, when they said the battle of Iraq would be very quick and easy. They attacked Iraq like wolves….” and added, “… the best thing British troops can do is to refuse to obey illegal orders.” The latter remark briefly led to suggestions that he might be prosecuted for treason under the Incitement to Disaffection Act, 1934. His most controversial statement, which led to a Sun headline, “MP blasted over ‘kill Brits’ call”, could be read as inciting attacks on British forces in Iraq: “Iraq is fighting for all the Arabs. Where are the Arab armies?.”
