George Galloway’s Plan to DESTROY the Labour Party | Downstream

George Galloway is one of Britain’s most formidable political campaigners. He has been elected as a member of parliament for four separate constituencies - winning on three occasions while not standing for a major political party.

Earlier this year saw him elected as the MP for Rochdale. That success was, in no small part, because of Galloway’s position on Gaza - and his outspoken criticism of Israel.

But was that merely the swan song in a rollercoaster political career? Or the beginning of something much bigger?

Could George Galloway’s Workers Party of Great Britain become a genuine threat to the Labour Party - particularly on issues of foreign policy - over the years to come?

I wish more politicians were like him. He seems kind but speaks straight! Love that!

My respect for George has only increased after watching this. Id vote for him to be the prime minister

[peterrees]

I've said for years that one of the biggest problems we have in British politics is the Friends on Israel groups.

[pluto]

I love Mr. Galloway for his honesty he says what he believe and not what you want him to believe.

[default]

Say what you want about Mr. Galloway, it is just your bias comming through.
If you are taking the time to interview George have the responsibility to leave just as that an interview- let others make their own minds up, and refrain from projecting your insecurities.
Saying that, this is a brilliant interview with George, and he is a testament to real British politics, true politics. George and others in his party have a chance to change British Values for the better (my opinion).

[birdinthebush]

I don't see eye to eye with George on absolutely everything, but at least he is, to my eyes, an honest man, an species in danger of extermination in these post truth times and he can put forward his ideas with admirable clarity for everyone. Congratulations on the latest achievements of your Workers Party George. Best wishes

[pluto]

Your comment at the beginning of the interview scared me . However, after watching the whole interview I have more high regards for mr. Galloway than ever. At least he voice his opinion honestly without worrying to be judged.

[rogermorris]

Dangerous, shocking and offensive ? That’s a bit precious. A bit of a stretch. Mister Galloway is not any of these things in this discussion . It is wide ranging and generous and frankly the introduction is almost a betrayal of the spirit of the conversation.

[steveez]

You don’t have to agree entirely with someone’s politics, view, or opinion to vote for them, no one can be 100% adhered to YOURS. Galloway is an humanitarian, which counts for a lot in this day and age. Unless the left unite behind a credible alternative like him, we’ll end up with the same old same old or even worse - Farage as PM 5yrs down the line. Black, white, gay or straight? One thing we all have in common and can unite behind is we’re working class - I have heard Galloway say this.

[ttilupo]

Just watch George speech in Congress when he made them look utterly stupid.

He has stuck to his views regardless of how unpopular they are.

[SHARDAE]

I really disagree with a lot here. To be honest, George spoke very clearly in regards to gender education and the possible problems with women spaces as well as his beliefs. Aaron I was looking forward to this but I can see your own political biases here more than

[nigelmoscrop]

So far for me, George is the only listenable MP

George Galloway says everything people say behind closed doors. He is an honest man not a two face hypocritical politician and I admire him for this.

[real_lostinthefogofwar]

George is on the correct side of most issues, most politicians are on the wrong side of all issues.

[jakobkljun]

No Bastani, most of people DO support Palestine and condemn Israeli for executing genocide upon Palestinians.

[MrBennett]

I wasn't much of a fan of Galloway until I listened to this. Nothing offensive at all.. I feel like the intro was over the top virtue signalling or just covering your arse for fear of backlash, or something.. very weird and unnecessary.

[victorray]

Sorry, Aaron. Having watched the whole interview I can't see any reason not to vote for George Galloway. You can't expect any two people's views to align perfectly.

[asyd]

Well done George. Might not agree with everything he says but he speaks his mind.
