ABOUT GEORGE GALLOWAY:
Few contemporary politicians have attracted as much controversy as George Galloway. A Labour MP from 1987 to 2003, he was an outspoken critic of the policies of Tony Blair and New Labour, in particular the decision to invade Iraq. Fiery comments such as "the best thing British troops can do is to refuse to obey illegal orders" saw Galloway expelled from the Labour Party. But Galloway returned to the political fray by founding the Respect Party and winning Bethnal Green and Bow in the 2005 General Election. Mr Galloway re-entered Parliament in this March as MP for Bradford West and has recently provoked controversy and criticism with his comments on the rape charges against Wikileaks' Julian Assange.

the blonde one at the background reactions to everything Galloway said.
It made me a bit sad to see how she and others like her weren't interested in anything he had to say, not even on the sincerest level.

[Sharkzspolaroid]

"What cesspit of false propaganda did you dredge that from" loool

[moosesnWoop]

Almost after every question he questions whether "is this Oxford"
LMAO he's always in disbelief

[flimpkin]

I'm embarrassed for that young student.

[billybabu]

Watching this in Lock down here in the UK.
Stay safe everyone

[seanmcnamara]

It is astounding they are asking such questions. And amazingly heartening to see this response given by George Galloway showing how well engaged he is.

I found a man today who has won my heart. There was a time when I thought that the west had lost all it's moral fabric. I just discovered this hero about twenty minutes ago and I now believe that a spark of morality still remains and can initiate a fire of morality GODWILLING

[shaheenchaudhry]

Mr Galloway, is the only true British gentlemen, who speaks the pure fact and truth. Respect

[afud]

I'm surprised to know that an Oxford student has such an inadequate knowledge of politics, it seems to me that he was lack of confidence when he asked the question. It could be that he wasn't really paying too much attention to politics and he got his facts from random non-credible sources, but if he does a politic student then he should really be ashamed.

George Galloway was kicked out of the Labour party for his opposition to the Iraq war, and now look where that war has gotten everyone, death tolls of over 100, 000 in Iraq (just civillians). George, you should wear this as a badge of honour.

The students question would work well on the majority of people, but not George Galloway, so this was very, very educational for the student and thus the debate was of great value to him.

[Jackaroo.]

Who would have thought a savory spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic would be the cause of such conflict.

[yasmine]

lol the girl rolling her eyes at the back at the idea of equality

[sohaibamir]
