George Galloway on The Elite Middle Class Takeover of The Labour Party | Peter McCormack Podcast

It’s refreshing to hear that George has strong opinions on traditional values and explained the demarcation between current left wokism and traditional working class values and opinion. As a socialist I find the current carnation of the left is destroying the nations opinion on what socialism stands for. MSM and populist right commentators declare Starshite 💩 is acting as a socialist pm. Far far from it. Thank you George for such an honest and frank discussion

Labour was started by real working class men, to challenge the rich, now the rich run the party, what a joke.

​@@lehessonYes admittedly more so mega rich who are not paying their tax and large corporations also he was going to renationalise basic infrastructure water, gas, electric telephone, railways much of witch should have gone under but the UK government have been giving them public subsidies / bailouts whilst allowing wealthy shareholders to take profits! Also create a public bank that would loan money for worker co operatives to help create a proper economy.

Reading the comments it seems I have chanced upon like minded people. I often comment that I can never see myself voting for “The Galloway”, i could imagine discussing politics with George and the debate getting heated, but how UK politics needs him, now more than ever. I have nothing but respect for “The Galloway”, always give him the time of day, enjoy listening to his views even when I disagree with him. He is one of the last political mavericks, those from both left and right who had independent thought, Tony Benn, Teddy Taylor, Dennis Skinner, Bill Cash. At least they made politics interesting and engaging. With Alex Salmon gone, George is becoming an endangered species. Thanks for this upload, really enjoyed it, and hope the workers party gets some media attention. Perhaps he and Farage could do a show to discuss the week in politics, that would be incendiary, yet I think respectful

Elite theory just means all things are done by organised small groups. This applies everywhere, from a community chess club up to a government. Basically you can have elites in that form on all levels of society. It’s not a class as such. Trade unions bosses could be considered elites. He is using the more colloquial class based term.

Any time from 1940s to 1970s Meter Men. I also remember the Meter Man arriving and emptying the meter. Most mothers sat there watching to ensure they got what they were due back In those days, literally every penny in a house hold was desperately needed. When desperate, candlelight not electric. Coal fires, bread on a toasting folk made from of the heat from the coal fire. Porrage for breakfast and if you were lucky at bedtime. School dinners were your main meal of the day, very different times. We ate to live, not lived to eat, basic small portion nutrition meals made so tasty by incredible mothers in kitchens that had a sink, draining board and a cupboard that held both food and dishes. No TV but if lucky a radio. This is why we 70 to 90+ year old's are a very different breed.

[@iamrocketray]

@@bettyjones2614 1960's to early 1970's I remember quite clearly, when the meter man came it was jackpot day, you could afford to eat and heat and a small treat as well, usually ice cream or fruit.

Me Too, but Scotland is way colder than London. I used to live in Northumbria Bellingham and it was freezing in winter. I have a one-bedroom flat, which is nice, with a good housing association but I live in one room with two layered sets of curtains drawn all the time. My hallway, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen are unheated. I am sitting with a wool jumper on and a woolen hat with the radiator on. I have central heating but cannot afford to use it, and my bed is in here as well. To use the electricity sparingly costs £30.00 for two weeks and that is without using the oven. I have a crockpot which cooks stew with beef (very nice) 10 hours to properly cook beef shin costs 60 pence and the 'standing charge of 40.0p; I could not cook it in the oven. It would cost me easily £100.0 a fortnight to heat the whole flat. Starmer is too wealthy to know this. I find it strange how they hate the successful and wealthy, yet are all wealthy themselves? One more thing, as people get older they suffer the cold more. They have doubled our bills through net zero fantasy subsidys. I could go on.

George is right that Labour have massively lost their way. The clue is in the name.... LABOUR as in people who do, not looking for the most hard done by so they can show everyone how emotive they are. If Labour stuck to looking after the 'WORKING' (and retired) classes (which have changed over the years, lots of very comfortable people who have done well for ourselves) then they would have a solid base and a cause to fight for. Its defo become a vehicle for our 'virtuous betters' to be snidey pricks to those that they should be representing. I accept that there is an element of our parties leading us as well as representing us (not that they will admit it) but we're now at the point where the 2 main parties just don't even pretend trying to represent us anymore and just lecture us. I'm looking forward to seeing both the Tories and Labour getting emptied at the next election.

[@annibanner]

The Labour Party was changed by design when Blair (the Trojan horse) created "New Labour" and proceeded to blindly follow the U.S. and take us into an illegal war in Iraq. Starmer is from the same sty; he colluded with Blairites to undermine, slander and defeat Jeremy Corbyn who was anti Zionist (NOT antisemitic) and generally anti war, which was unacceptable to those who control governments. New Labour members take money from Friends of Israel, AIPAC and shadowy donors and have more allegiance to the WEF, the U.S. and Israel than they do to the people of the U.K. This is now becoming very obvious even to those who depend on the BBC for news and information.

I disagree with George Galloway’s socialist political views, but one thing I massively respect is his integrity and sincerity, since day 1. Listening to George is a sad reminder of just how far our nation’s politics has declined. To think we used to have honest, left vs right debate. Two sides who both ultimately wanted our nation to succeed, but who had different strategies for how to achieve that success. Look at World War 2, when Labour and Conservatives put aside their differences and worked together in the war cabinet, to deliver victory in our nation’s darkest hour. Today we have the same globalist liberal slop, either in the colour red or blue. I would rather have a parliament full of socialist workers party George Galloways, who actually have integrity and prioritise our nation’s interests above all else, than a parliament of fake “Tory” politicians, who advertise themselves as “right wing Conservative” but actually conserve nothing, and instead preside over the accelerating decline of our nation, whilst gaslighting the public. We desperately need a new right wing and new left wing movement in Britain, because this globalist liberal Labour/Tory slop has been disastrous.

Excellent interview. Always good to listen to GG's wisdom, knowledge and common sense.

[@baldyo7]

As a reform voter and somebody who follows Nigel Farage, it's interesting listening to GG here. It would be good to see some long form podcast debates between the Populist Left vs the Populist Right. Let's get our country back, we have lost control to the globalist elitists.

Im right leaning but have alot of time for George. Genuinely cares about the country and the people ,no matter what race,religion you are. We need new, strong parties of the real left and right so people have a genuine choice.

[@williammiller567]

I think you better think again voting for any party will only give you more what we have now They are all coperations our police our councils our courts judges they all belong to coperations this is the big problem so to vote you either vote for an independent person not anybody who is part of any party the first thing that has to be done is protests in the millions at Buckingham Palace to tell that Fraudulent King to tell the Government to step down and all parties to be disolved as they are a coperation and that's not allowed in government The police have to be brought back into obeying orders from us the people same with the councils alot to be put in prison for all the wrongs they have done

[@mogznwaz]

But you definitely should NOT vote for him. If you do you’re voting for communism and Islamism.

[@williammiller567]

First he has to admit he is an independent not a party member as this is the way to go you can't have coperations running the country he has to admitt he knows the fraud that's being going on in years with the governments that's them all all the banks all the corruption in our courts the councils being allowed to use our courts to break Laws the banks for the lies they have told for all banks to give back all monies paid in interests to every mortage payer as is unlawful what they have done all these things would have to be admitted for me to vote for anyone until then my vote will always be I DO NOT CONSENT

[@Lordali-j9v]

Many are not convinced by reform. You don't have to be. There is no alternative unless you want to waste your vote. Cooper has just deported the first illegals since 2021. And we are paying them 3k each to go. But still they arrive from places we can't send them back to. Reform gives Britain a chance....albeit a slim one as we drown in drugs, lawlessness and the homeless.

Thank you George for remaining passionate (despite everything you've had to endure) in your pursuit and advocacy of justice for all. On a personal level, thank you George for being active in ensuring that the UK Border Agency reversed their original decision to send my wife and stepson back to Australia) and allow our daughter and I to remain in the UK, where I had a permanent senior management post in a Scottish secondary school. I feel that, whether George likes it or not, he's taken on the mantel of Tony Benn (sorry George, I suspect that comparison will embarrass you but look around: if not you, then who? Farage?!?! Please God, no!). Thank you and God bless.....

Can never agree with some of George's views on Islamics, but he does concisely state where most of us are at into 2025. Just hate to see UK becoming a country so different from the one we have all worked so hard in, and which our previous family members fought for.

A few years ago I was sat outside a pub in Norwich talking to Nigel Farage. He said to me that he saw only a few natural monopoly’s in Britain and mentioned railways, water and Royal Mail, so he’s not necessarily a private rail guy, I know that for sure. I massively respect George, though I’m not a socialist some good stuff comes from the socialists but for those things you need money and conservative economies create money. The big similarities between old Labour socialists and conservatives is they were massive patriots. Benn and Powell both fought EEC membership. I could easily vote old Labour/Foot. I will vote reform uk. I am a patriot and I want my country back. I want supremacy to reside in Parliament not a court or Brussels or Davos and neither the conservatives nor “change” Labour are offering that.

[@trishohara5343]

I am a socialist and not a patriot. But I do want decisions to be made by elected representatives in the UK. Unfortunately, many of the law makers in the UK are not elected, nor are those that are elected free to represent the people who vote for them. The lobbyists and massive corporations actually make the decisions here now. We have very little democracy. I loved Tony Benn but detest Powell. I admire GG but detest NF.

Absolutely! Reform are against illegal immigration and not legal. George has made a lucrative career out of Gaza and the Palestinians and speaking round the Mosques rather than working class venues.
