George Galloway | Cambridge Union

George Galloway is a British politician, broadcaster and writer.
Between 2012 and 2015, he was the Respect Party MP for Bradford West after previously serving as an MP for 23 years for both Labour and Respect. In 2003, he was expelled from the Labour Party for bringing the party into disrepute.

You are a man of principles; a refreshing breath of fresh air in a polluted atmosphere of hypocrisy. I wish my congressman in US had your courage and audacity to speak the truth as you do.

[@samdegoeij6576]

I wish we had a man like George Galloway in the Netherlands it's all so spineless, Neo-Liberal, mealy mouthed and often full of bs (look up information about our Prime Minister on the Dividence Taxes). I hope that I could see these type of politics as George suggests. I think his ideas on horizontal democracy are fascinating and awesome.

And yet he's the one with least respect from the Oxford union. I've never heard any politician being treated as disrespectfully as George galloway at the oxford union. Universities used to be places where open mindedness and diversity of opinion were not only tolerated but welcomed as it gave people a chance to debate. No longer it seems. Even the most educated of the young generation no longer seem to understand what respecting other people's point of view means

It's fairly rare to see people who definitely use that word to be pompous, in this case at least it's likely to have been used as a plug or support word to fill the gaps where the interviewer wasn't sure what his next words would be (these unnecessary words give your mind more time to catch up with your mouth... happens to a lot of us, but we should think of more polite support words instead).

Some things don't change. Universities are packed with young people who passions clearly outstrip their reasoning and breadth of vision. This was true to an extreme degree with that light haired chap with soda bottle glasses whose outlook on the world was so horribly crimped while his passion was barely capable of being reined in. He was even incapable of realising he was there to ask questions, not advertise his questionable behaviour. Not sure a 'premier' institution was served well by that poster boy! Humility should be the first lesson in any University. I think the George offered him the only response he deserved...silence.

A camouflaging of history itself !! Today’s young has to realise about the benumbed nesses they are in, or they are being repeatedly put into ! There are many more that can be written. But will end with the following brief. Then and now it is George Galloway who appears will save the world out of discriminations, tyranny and confusions and pave the way for a just and sensible world of humanity and happiness. I see in several locations of the world that there is an upcoming of awakenings and the need to get clearer and clever. George Galloway’s work will soon start to show results. Thanking

Whilst I dislike many of the things Mr Galloway says and disagree with him on almost everything, I do find him compelling as an interviewee, or debater. He represents a strand of opinion in the U.K. that needs to be heard and challenged and he represents it better than anyone else. Challenging him is like nailing a blancmange to a wall and is really only something for a skilled debater (with sufficient time to unpack Mr Galloway’s rhetoric). But British public life (and KZbin) would be poorer without him.

Iran was on the path of being beacon of democracy and secularism in the muslim world in the early 1950's . However the US and UK overthrew their democracy for oil . The US/UK installed the King , that is the Shah . This monarchy enriched themselves , the US/UK oil companies . To pay for the paltry public sector, Muslim cleric, assets and lands were expropriated . It is no surprise that the Militant Muslim faction took over in 1979 . Will we ever learn from our mistakes ? I think our masters know too well about democracies giving less wealth to the US empire and thus deliberately overthrow democracies for the sake of the US corporate empire . Post World war ll the US has never gone to war for democracy . They have always been overthrowing democracies to keep the poor poorer and rich wealthier . Latin America is a goodf example of US empire post ww2 . Remember that the root Greek demos in democracy means the people , not just the privileged, powerful few

He surely makes you think. I agree with many of his points but also disagree with some of his stances, particularly on Iran. 1. The Wests relationship with Saudia Arabia despite them being terrible to women does not mean women in Iran have it good in comparison. Both nations have huge issues with women, but it is also important to remember influencing allies over time is a valid strategy for the rights movement. 2. Iran has ethnic minorities such as the Kurds who if you asked would probably say they feel occupied. i.e. Kurdish Independence movement. 3. Maybe Iran hasn't officially invaded anyone, but it has developed a brilliant network of proxies throughout the middleeast to sow discord. All in all, it's good to think deeper about issues, particularly the Iran one, I just don't feel he made strong or contextual arguments in that regard. I appreciate that he is a principled person and I do wish all leaders would take principled stances such as George Galloway. His point about Palestine, apartheid, and parliament (whipping, amount of MPs, pay, and power) are spot on.
