TODAY’S MESOP QUOTATION : ABOUT GALLOWAY, GEORGE / BY JONATHAN SPYER

RESULTS & CONSEQUENCES OF UK LEFTING LABOUR – TROTSKYISM

Excellent stuff. I am pleased about this not least because George Galloway likes to try and exude an aura of menace, potential violence and aggressive masculinity. This sort of pose is vile in democratic politics, where discussion should be free, and all points of view should be heard. So its nice to see him get a taste of the consequences of the violent atmosphere he has tried so hard to create. Nice also to see that the community that produced Ted ‘Kid’ Lewis and Jack ‘Kid’ Berg can despite its ultra-feeble leadership apparently still come up with the occasional useful move: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/george-galloway-attacked-on-notting-hill-street-by-man-shouting-about-the-holocaust-9700883.html
