I don't think its GG you should be annoyed about. He's a lifetime political opportunist. It's the people of Rochdale who voted for him in bucket loads that one should be annoyed about. And a labour party fiasco that handed him the opportunity on a plate.

the latest news regarding the costs of the "send them to Rwanda" scheme. Costs which the Home Office had refused to reveal, apparently.

Just looked at the results I expected Tories and Labour to get a kicking, but I expected the Liberal democrats to poll well < 7% is poor and doesn't IMHO bode well for them at the GE

Katie price to lose 40% of income from some areas :- www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68445076honestly not sure if this should be here or the annoyed thread. made bankrupt in November 2019, ordered to make payments for 3 years and a lump sum has done neither, still has a £2 million house just feels like she is treated with kid gloves she will have 60% of her main income, but she should be in 50% tax bracket, however I bet she's one of those who thinks paying tax is only for "little people" |

 Did you hear R4 Today this morning? 8.10 interview was with Galloway's party deputy chair - Chris Williamson - as Galloway refused to be interviewed. It's quite... entertaining. Or something. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001wrgv2hr10 in. "Galloway is probably the best orator in the world"If you think Williamson's name rings a bell, you might not be wrong. Former Labour MP, now presenting a TV prog on an Iranian-government-owned channel. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Williamson_(politician)

🤣 Mr Williamson must love speaking out on TV, as long as he stays alive. It seems he doesn’t have problems speaking to other hosts in the UK. youtu.be/a-sf0Yk-q7w |

and presumably he didn't even have the excuse of having imbibed one too many, as I understand he is teetotal.

Eurovision, yet another carp song being pushed in UK as "great" sung by someone who is obviously egotistical and IMHO a complete narcissist ( lol you'd not dress like that unless you wanted attention )
more bottom 3 than top 3

Quite like Galloway.
Most here won't either because he's populist or because of his pro-Palestine/anti-Israel views.

I dislike George Galloway for a number of reasons: he operates at an uncomfortable intersection of hard left and hard right political views; he is a populist so by definition operates on a divisive philosophy of 'them vs us'; his manner and statements seem driven by personal emotion opinion rather than fact, and implies his opinions are factual. He's historically, repeatedly, made public comments which are inappropriate to say - however much I believe he's entitled to think and speak them in private - he seems to lack any sense of responsibility for the consequences of his statements and is simply a professional rabble-rouser or "revolutionary" as he describes himself. His 'this is for Gaza' comment on winning Rochdale is textbook Galloway. He courted his prospective constituents perfectly based on a number of demographic factors and he got a double whammy of publicity and ended up on the front page of newspapers around the globe for it. Maybe the guy formerly known as the "MP for Baghdad North" is just trying to beat Cyril Smith to become Rochdale's most famous MP; his primary focus has always been seeking attention. Just my humble opinion. I am genuinely interested in understanding why you quite like him.

He is entitled to have those. However there are views which are anti the actions of a particular country/government, and then there is calling for the dismemberment/abolition of that internationally recognised country. Which GG does. Thereby aligning himself with the likes of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian theocracy. Which is of course hardly surprising, given the coterie of others he has courted in the past.
