I am really pleased. In fact, a couple of us in the office are going to send him some cigars.

Looking forward to seeing him in the commons shouting at that swine Blair.

A most definite poke in the eye to the Galloway haters.

What a courageous, strong and indefatigable man.

nuff Respect.

Did you see the Paxman interview last night?

Welcome Tee.

Think you are miles off the mark regarding your comments on Scottish v English, Ive been on POL for a year and I can't recall any anti-english comments here. (Not to say there haven't been any).

POL welcomes all sorts, even people from other Planets, like Lawrence and Davie Bhoy.

And BTW: Paxman got a deserved pasting from Galloway, who I think is very far from gorgeous. He is a cigar smoking, moustachioed midget. And he has an overcoat. Would not be surprised if his parents are English.

George Galloway was an opponent of the Iraqi regime when the UK and US governments were selling weapons to Hussein. Hansard documents this.

As to blindly defending a Scot who has come up against an Englishman - well, for starters I am half English.

So if you remove the incorrect aspects of your argument, can you remind me of your point again?

Galloway says that he was referring to the Iraqi people's courage and strength. He also says that Hansard will back up his claim as to being an opponent of the Iraqi regime long before the west were.

Whether that is true or not, it is true that the west used to arm Hussein - he was their ally and friend.

At the same time as this photo was taken, Hussein was gassing Iranian troops with mustard gas laced with nerve agent.

I am as uncomfortable as you when I see Galloway with Hussein as I was seeing Ron Brown with Gaddaffi. But that doesn't mean that either men are complicit in the crimes of either the Iraqi or Libyan regimes respectively.

If you think his actions make Galloway an a$$ and a hypocrite, fine. But if that is the case, the outrageous horror supported, encouraged and inflicted by Bush snr, Bush jnr, Major and Blair must surely make you ten times more outraged...

...almost as outraged, perhaps, as the honourable member for Bethnal Green and Bow?
