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

[@trishohara5343]

I am a socialist and have been for many years. I rarely disagree with GG but I find some of his personal views on abortion for instance - terrible. I have to accept he has small c conservatism at his heart but I do agree with his political positions mostly. I agree with buy British for environmental reasons as well as workers rights - but sadly, he never seems to mention the environment. I don't agree with his views of traditional families. I live with my partner of 31 years and have 2 children. I did not marry and would not marry because I oppose those traditional values on some level. So do I like GG? no. Do I respect him and listen to him? yes. Would I vote for him? Yes.

I bet they would be relatively civil about it. I would definitely watch it. I completely agree with what Galloway says at about 42:30, that this is the problem, but I don't think socialism or communism would be the answer to address this.

[@NeilDear]

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. You can buy a basic non digital cheap crockpot for £20.00 on the Amazon or ebay, it is the best thing I bought. If you need the link I will send it . cheers

[@James-sk4db]

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.

[@Escape_From_UK]

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

Approximately how long ago was that?

[@dennisdearden2652]

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.

[@andreaduncan1042]

Very interesting discussion. Every time I hear George Galloway, I find him interesting and sensible. Thank you.

[@deeps2761]

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.

I've always respected George, even though my values are generally on the centre-right. An interesting & erudite man, with true leadership qualities and no time for hiding his true political face. We do live in a time of incredibly small politics (as reflected by the constant turnover of PMs, cratering support for "major" political parties etc.) There is no doubt that Galloway is a political big beast, and will be remembered a century hence; unlike 99.9% of today's political class.

[@XxxULTIMATEZxxX]

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.

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.

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.

I totally agree with George on going back too public owned services, these services need only too break even because they would be employing loads of people they would then be paying tax , not claiming any benefits , more people in work the more taxes created more can go into betting the public services plus less paid out on benefits this would lower the taxes percentage that people pay , more money in peoples pockets more money people spend and boost the economy

Keynesianism how it should be, it was good enough to rebuild post WW2. instead its selectively used to feed Military Industrial Complex and bail out deregulated Banks 2008 crisis that were allowed to mix man in the street depositors with stock market gamblers whom were using fractional reserves basically money that wasn't there, where every £1 became £100!

Interesting, your interviews with GG have given a different and frankly a more positive view of his perspective, I disagree with his Israeli attitude but on the basics of the idiotic destruction of British industry and the idea that people should work for a living I am with him. Would love to see Nigel as PM and George as leader of the opposition!

No one wants to see anyone go hungry and be cold. I’m 65 widowed and fortunately we qualified for medical assistance as my wife was dying of cancer over here in the US. There is no perfect solution to some of this stuff. But most of us “ new /old ( whatever, I hate these labels)conservatives” over here in the US believe the budget would be a lot easier to balance if we stopped giving our tax money to foreign countries wars, and anybody that can make it across our southern border. We are pissed off about all that crap to start with. We are gonna “ clean house” over here in the US and not in the cliche Thatcher/ Reagan way so many leftists want to brand us with.

[@mysterymaverick1982]

They are not other countries wars they were created by the US.

[@trishohara5343]

'foreign wars' are created by the people who make money from them. It's an industry. USA is the banker of pretty much all wars. It's the only way they can keep power over the world. We are all living in a dying American empire. It's like the fall of Rome - ugly and violent. Even many Americans are now being left to die with no healthcare.

A very good interview

[@Mark_Dyer1]

This is a wonderful interview with George: but he does have a weak spot on Islam: its role in the Middle East, and its ambitions for our own Country. It is Islam which demands the death of homosexual men like me (and my Civil Partner): and there are many other people it would seek to eliminate, besides Jews and homosexuals: yet Mr Galloway does not appear to see this. He's very good at pointing to the flaws in others: but never those flaws engendered by Islam. George always couches things in 'clever' language: speaking, for exampkle, of "Christian antisemitism" [01:08] in the context of NAZI Germany. To refer to what the NAZUIs did as an example of "Christian antisemitism", is wrong in the first place; but the implication that this justifies Islamic antisemitism (at least as a phenomenon) is completely scurrilous. Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew during the late Second Temple form of sacrificial Judaism: so no true follower of Jesus could ever be antisemitic: let alone kill another human being in his name. The NAZI genocide was the deliberate attempt to exterminate all Jews throughout the Reich: the equivalent of this today, it may be argued, is the type of event we 'saw' perpetrated on 7th October 2023. And the inspiration was neither Jesus, nor Adolph Hitler: but the Koran, and the example of Mohammed found in the Sira.

i agree completely i really respect and admire George and his intilect but cant shake off the thought that hes using islam and the muslim vote as his only way back into mainstream politics,he talks of having many MPs but unfortunately they would all be muslims and thats not good for this country

[@Thetache]

@@simonpeyton-n3h 100% he has found a backdoor back into Parliament as a shill for the Islamists, his intellect is not in question, but his narcissism is his downfall, he is not trustworthy and his socialist ideology has been proven a disastrous governing method countless times, Animal Farm is the certain repeated endgame every time.

​@simonpeyton-n3h, have you looked at who are his party reps, and how many are muslim? The reality is many of you are brainwashed from the years and years of Islam = terrorism after 9/11 propaganda....you'd think after watching the footage coming out of Gaza and the constant regime changes bought about by the CIA and MI6 in the middle east (as well in other places) you'd realise your problems originate from a lot closer to home, and they wear smart suits, speak quintessential English with not a drop of "islamic" in them 🙄

[@rhysjenkins4910]

I agree with Mr Galloway on a lot, which surprised me. He strikes me as a pre-wokeism/traditional leftist, and fair enough for that. I don't agree with him on the whole Israel/Palestine thing, but that to one side, a lot of what he says I think most folk in the UK would agree with.

He’s an important voice but doesn’t have a serving heart and would make a terrible PM.

You're a bit of an odd ball GG, but you are honest and articulate and very, very passionate about politics. You are younger than me, but it does my heart good to hear you talk about the Palestinians being so badly treated by Israel and everyone else over many decades. The atrocities inflicted on them to push them off their land is never acknowledged, to the point today's youngsters have no reference points back to those times to account for what's happening now. Rewriting history in the immediate aftermath is unforgivable.

No they are very good friends but Farage has distanced himself from George because of his newly found love for Zionism. He never suffered from this disease in all his previous political life.
