Ah Gorgeous George as they called him because of his ability (literally), to talk women out of their nickers. As Mrs S has met him socially more than once, I can confirm the charm from a first hand source. Not that she admits to having succumbed...
He was a close personal friend of my BIL during the late 60's and early 70's. No surprise there as they grew up half a mile away and were both rabid communists.
I wonder how many of his voters have actually read the
wiki page on him??
"I am on the anti-imperialist left... If you are asking did I support the Soviet Union, yes I did. Yes, I did support the Soviet Union, and I think the disappearance of the Soviet Union is the biggest catastrophe of my life."
And also
Galloway told Robert Chalmers of The Independent on Sunday in June 2012: "I am not a pacifist. I am a revolutionary. I am a Socialist who doesn't like Capitalism and who likes Imperialism less. I am a revolutionary and I support the armed struggle where there is no alternative."
If 20k imaginary voters get wiped from his list I'll be very happy. I know a lot of eastern Europeans who would like to debate the whole Soviet Union statement with him. In the ring, no gloves. Or rules. Preferably with him tied down....
