ABOUT GEORGE GALLOWAY:
Few contemporary politicians have attracted as much controversy as George Galloway. A Labour MP from 1987 to 2003, he was an outspoken critic of the policies of Tony Blair and New Labour, in particular the decision to invade Iraq. Fiery comments such as "the best thing British troops can do is to refuse to obey illegal orders" saw Galloway expelled from the Labour Party. But Galloway returned to the political fray by founding the Respect Party and winning Bethnal Green and Bow in the 2005 General Election. Mr Galloway re-entered Parliament in this March as MP for Bradford West and has recently provoked controversy and criticism with his comments on the rape charges against Wikileaks' Julian Assange.

10:00 I want people to understand the accuracy with which he speaks. My departed grandfather left us paperwork for 2 hotels he owned in Haifa, Palestine. He took them with him in case he was ever lucky enough to return. This is literally what George said.

[@JohnSmith-le5oe]

God bless you, neighbour, you and your family, forever.

@@martinevans9812 Same here. Numerous disagreements but honourable common ground regarding Palestine.

I feel for you, you live in the biggest shithole of this planet

[@toniownez]

@The governor Sweden, the best country in the world. The nordic countries are the only societies where the system is built for you and not against you.

[@toniownez]

@The governor eastern europe is a fucking shithole, sweden is full of polish people. Everyone wants to come here because everyone knows that this is the best place to live

[@aminollahhabibi627]

The governor that would make you an immigrant. You don’t immigration so that is quite hypocritical of you.

George Galloway a man of truth, corouges, intelligent with high mortality. That is why they the dark evil powr of the British governments expelled him from the Parliament. George Galloway legacy as one of the most honorable Scotish man will live for ever.

First time I am hearing George Galloway. Wish we had more people like this in the world. Great talk.

[@stevenrowell97sr]

I've only got really into politics about 2 years ago and I'm still an amateur. But what I know as fact is George Galloway brilliant and I've learnt a lot from him.

[@Ally-StaffyLover]

I will have to educate myself a lot more on George before I can fully comment. Not on a few speeches but on his merit & actions over the years. 🤔

[@julietomana3937]

George, thank goodness those sadly ignorant students get you so fired up. Just love hearing the the truth, thank you

[@jessicaherring1507]

This man is a breath of fresh air...his eloquence, convictions and bravery are second to none

Wow this was 7 years ago and it's even more relevant today.

It even more relevant today

G.G has a home in every muslims heart. Wish him a long life full of health and happiness.

[@rafaeldunn1274]

From the low key reception to Galloway's speech of common sense and reality , I gather that the majority of the room are hard lined establishment apologists. The world doesn't stand a chance with people like this. Mr Galloway is spot on in everything he said and I have come to slowly uphold him as one of my political inspirations alongside Jeremy Corbyn, Rafael Correa and Bernie Sanders. My estimation of Oxford and the integrity of its students went down slightly after watching this video. Let's hope for the sake of a productive future that this is not representative of the Oxford masses. Somehow I very much doubt it though.

[@PS-qv7xv]

just commented on this, because it's time to rewatch it ;)

[@swiftcee266]

I would hug you if I could. Well said and I absolutely agree. Unfortunately this is the way of the world. We are fucked.

[@matthewstone1660]

They are the establishment incarnate

[@one4320]

I seen a few of his addresses to Oxford and so dissappointing how many have uncritically accepted the thinking that has been handed to them. To see such young people hold such firm beliefs and opinions in the face of George's wisdom and integrity is sad and belies their so-called education.

[@Canuck516]

The only one I've ever saw to won a debate against "the Hitch". A Just and Bright man, Mr Galloway.

[@LisaKinoti]

Lol, yes! I am a Hitch fan and even I was like, "Damn, Hitch! He got you my man! He got you." And it was the only time I ever saw Hitch have that look on his face. It was hands down the best debate I have ever seen or listened to. At the end I had to find out who this man was. And it is how I got here.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for this man who in my opinion is the most honest, down to earth, dignified and just public figure. A great hero of our time. Nothing that any Zionist can say to slander and lie about his character will ever hold him down. Bless you George, may to continue your quest for many more years!

this guy is a genius!

[@alshirani3964]

I wonder why Mr. George Galloway is so different and much better than many other politicians in his country? May be he has more conscience or maybe he hasn't sold himself to evil people or maybe he has preferred to take side with the truth over money.... I know he has made many enemies for himself and I pray for him and I hope his enemies won't be able to do anything against him because he is very unique in this world.... Go Bless him.

[@philipcameron3784]

Fantastic George . Your up there with Mr Churchill . I agree with everything you said . My uncle was sent, after WW11, to Palestine with the British army to " Clear the way" for the Israelis and for their settlements. He spoke about what happened quite a lot , it was truly shocking what he said. He mentioned Yitzhak Shamir often. A brutal evil tyrant who went on to become a PM of Israel. Israel is surrounded by countries and peoples that hate them. One day these peoples will unite , one day these peoples will say enough is enough and will take matters into their own hands . A desperate people do desperate things and the west have facilitated Palestinian demise in textbook fashion.

[@Aetheste]

Man don't compare him to Churchill. George is a great orator and acknowledges the faults his country had in the creations of Isis and other islamic fanatic groups. Churchill was a fucking murderer.

[@stevengascoigne8627]

Thank you Philip...great post

[@gaeig]

I don't think he'd like to be compared to be Mr. Churchill, who actually was extremely supportive of Zionists and was seen as extremely hatefully racist even by his British contemporaries

[@manisht5776]

Courage

[@LisaKinoti]

In war, no matter where in the world it happens, I feel very very sad for the innocent civilians who are caught in the crossfire, losing loved ones, properties, livelihoods... Etc. We in the privileged countries look the other way and we say nothing, appearing not to care, because we think that it will never happen to us. We only get angry when it happens to us. But most poeopke think, "I don't live there, so it will never happen to me. Am safe, my family's fine, and so, who cares?" This needs to change. We should care about other humans like we care about ourselves, no matter the race, creed, religion, or nationality. I hope the world improves. I hope we all find love in others with whom we have nothing in common.
