MORE ROPE FOR GEORGE PLEASE: GALLOWAY AND THE ELECTIONS FOR MAYOR OF LONDON


Avert your eyes, George Galloway is showing a little leg; not a sight for those with a weak stomach. He is teasing the population of the city, will he won’t he run for Mayor of London. Like most sane people my immediate reaction was a combination of revulsion and horror. The very idea that this carpet bagger and demagogue, pathological liar and self serving narcissist should seek to use the population of London to promote his corrupt political ‘philosophy’- and I use the word in the loosest possible way- create a feeling of nausea. I then began to think, should Galloway stand this will provide an opportunity to expose, humiliate and finally discredit the sinister Scottish fraud.

Galloway is possibly just mad enough to believe he could win, since he consumes nothing but his own propaganda on a twenty four hour loop, blocking out any alternative opinions. He is also convinced that he truly speaks for ‘the people,’ as his grotesque ‘Bradford Spring’ remarks testify. If you provide him with enough oxygen surely he will inflate to the point of self destruction, with the competition to become Mayor of London providing a stage big enough for his ever expanding ego. As he says of the mayoral elections, "Seven million people have the right to vote in it; it's the next best thing to a presidential election that you're ever going to get in Britain.” [1]

The aim should not just be to see him beaten, but humiliated.  He has already been beaten twice in recent years by Jim Fitzpatrick in east London in 2010 and in a bid for a seat in the Scottish Parliament in 2011, but these have been relatively small theatres, if he were trounced in London that would surely represent a death blow to his political ambitions?

There are many risks of course, undoubtedly he would stir up a great deal of trouble and he would need to be fought at his own level, forget Marquis of Queensberry rules. The risk might just be worth it though to see him hobble off the stage, wild eyed and fanatically mumbling about a Zionist conspiracy undermining his campaign.  
‘I like elections more than I like serving."

What contempt his attitude displays for the people of Bradford who only elected him in March last year. The political carnage he leaves behind in that  benighted city is worth further investigation, and I will be returning to this subject.
