With acknowledgement to Alan Cochrane's insight, and past knowledge and experience of Galloway's less than salubrious "career". Proof that a chimp could hold a massive majority in a safe Labour seat in Scotland, to our shame !
He'd give kilts and whisky to a legless Muslim

Two notable quotes from the Telegraph article
Quote
Under the tutelage of Galloway, Dundee - that austere and generally depressed city on the north shore of the Tay - twinned itself with Nablus on the West Bank of the Jordan. It was an unlikely union that saw the PLO flag flying over the Gothic splendour of Dundee's municipal buildings, but it quickly took on a farcical air when, as part of the twinning ceremony, the Mayor of Nablus was presented with a crate of whisky and a kilt by the Scottish delegation. What use a strictly teetotal Muslim, both of whose legs had been blown away in a terrorist explosion, would have had for whisky and kilts was never made clear.

There was, thus, a certain pathetic irony in the front page of George Galloway's home-town newspaper last night. One half of the front page in the Dundee Evening Telegraph was about the latest allegations. The other half contained moving details of the funeral service of Lt Cpl Barry Stephen of The Black Watch, killed in action on the road to Basra.

Condolences to Barry's family, many friends and the illustrious Black Wach .
Of course, Galloway is accusing the establishment of smear and conspiracy as his defence - we'll see, lots more evidence to come I think ?
