George Galloway in the HOC today.

By far the best speaker in the house, who has spoken the most sense all day, perhaps the only sense all day.
George Galloway angers MPs with comment about ?quiescent? Iraqis | Politics | The Guardian


They don’t concentrate as an army. They don’t live in bases.


It is not an army and it is certainly not an army that is going to be destroyed by aerial bombardment.


The territory they control is the size of Britain and yet there are only between 10,000 and 20,000 of them. Do the maths.


“Saudi Arabia has 700 war planes – get them to bomb. Turkey is a Nato member – get Turkey to bomb. The last people who should be returning to the scene of their former crimes are Britain, France and the US.”


Couldn't have put it better myself. GG is hated, just as Stokes was hated in WW2, but who was right in the end?


GG is worth reading in full. I wish there were 200 more like him in the Commons at times.
