It has been reported that George Galloway is standing against Jack Straw in the next election.
Would you like George Galloway to represent you in Accrington & District?

Is that hypothetical since Jack Straw is the MP for Blackburn?

If it was between Greg Pope and George Galloway I would pick Greg Pope everytime. As much as its nice that George speaks out for the antiwar movement, his approach seems rather .. extremist? in the way he approaches and words things.

For example:

Quote:

"I don’t represent anyone’s views. I represent me. I don’t give a f**k what anyone else thinks.
You are confusing me with someone who gives a f**k."

and

Quote:

The people who invaded and destroyed Iraq and have murdered more than a million Iraqi people by sanctions and war will burn in Hell in the hell-fires, and their name in history will be branded as killers and war criminals for all time.

i think he'll win too if he stands against straw

Royboy39 · 21-06-2007, 16:38

No its said to be true............He promised he would only serve one term in his present seat........

Galloway May Stand Against Straw (from Lancashire Telegraph)

as all good conservatives think cyfr- its extremism to tell the truth.

andrewb · 21-06-2007, 16:45

I highly doubt its anything to do with being a Conservative! I'm pretty sure many Labour supporters or any other political party supporters would feel that theres a way to go about telling the truth, and its not that way.

that must make me untrustworthy also?

WillowTheWhisp · 21-06-2007, 21:22

All I can say is I'm glad he's considering Blackburn and not Hyndburn.

A joke cashman, just a joke ..

Being bereft of any knowledge of George Galloway ('cept like listening to him being interviewed) ..'tis the only insignificant contribution I can make to this thread, although looking at my Grandaughter's myspace contribution, he appears to be her hero for some reason. Whoops, just taken another peek, she appears to have deleted him in favour of Bob Geldorf ....

George Galloway was my MP, for a while, when I was living in Glasgow.

The company I was working for contacted him when we needed help. There was, and is, a discrepency in the law, were by Scotland can escape certain matters of liberty, by means of a loop hole.

He was next to useless.

He talks the talk when it comes to equality, but his actions don't back him up.

Jack will hopefully win, though the sizeable anti-war lobby in Blackburn will probably back Galloway.
