George Galloway

[Flanged]

Does anybody else listen to George Galloway on TalkSport?  If not, why not?  What's wrong with you?  Do you hate him with every fibre of your being?  Or do you love him so much that you can't admit it to yourself?
Which is it?

He's only on every Friday now, having been forced out of his additional Saturday night slot by the fact that TalkSport hired him in the hopes that he would totally embarass himself and discredit his positions live on air - which he has since failed to do, becoming the only presenter on the station worth listening to (since Adrain Goldberg went to the BBC anyway).  This puts TalkSport in the unusual position of wanting rid of it's highest-rated presenter.

Here's two Youtubes I made years ago about him:

And here's some great stuff from his radio show (skip to 3.00 if you want to hear the radio equivalent of the internet's "plane tickets, *****!"):

Discuss this unusual man, George Galloway.  Discuss him all over this thread. 

For the record, I think he's great, even if I don't agree with him on everything.  On the core issues of the day, he is usually right - and even when he's wrong his opinions are a useful counterbalance to the unanimous received wisdom handed out by our media bosses.

What think'st thou?

What is this, a religious thread? I have no idea who you're talking about and therefore fall into the "I have no idea who you're talking about".

Then you must watch the videos, my son.  In time, by God's grace, all shall become clear to you.

I've went off him since he wouldn't let me be the cat.

 

[Big_Mac]

I only listen to talksport on Saturdays now, but I've never heard of him (probably listened to him though). The station is great overall, anyway.

 

[Suspect-Device]

The only decent thing he did was booting Oona King out of her constituency.

Then he pretended to be a cat...

 

[Flanged]

Well, he does have a cruel streak, I admit - and when it comes to appearing in nationally broadcast furry porn, he insists on always being the top cat.  He won't share his plate of milk either, despite his socialist principles.  But he's still great, in my book.

It used to be, in my opinion, till they fired or forced out all the good folk - James Whale, Adrian Goldberg, even John Gaunt.  Now I just find it embarassing, apart from Galloway's show.  I suppose it comes down to if you're interested in sport or not, but I used to love Alan Brazil and Hawksbee and Jacobs as well even though i rarely had a clue what they were on about.

They're still there, but they've changed somehow.  I get the feeling everybody's had so many warnings about what they're allowed to say that they all decided to become boring.

Galloway has been an interest of mine since I saw his legendary SKY News interview in 2006. Now, after the Iranian elections and his downplay of the corruption and dishonesty on the part of the Iranian regime (who pay for his show at PressTV), combined with other things he's said over the years, I've become a bit disillusioned with him.

Nonetheless, he is still one of the best orators and one of the most effective debaters alive today. In the U.S. in particular, where the left is pretty routinely shouted down on talk radio and FOX News by idiots who pretend to be patriots, it's refreshing to see someone present the "other side" without taking anybody's ****.

The man was sexually inappropriate on national telly ffs! He could have ragged his victim senseless up against the camera or an open window, but instead he chose to be a cat and started purring.

Since the cat escapade, I'd rather he didn't come near me.

He was merely demonstrating that he can be as ferocious as a tiger and tender as a kitty...

I remember seeing that vid but it was part of a big brother exercise. I felt it was pretty undignified but **** at least he isn't a stuck up cabinet snob whose unwilling to try anything other than tea, crumpets and ****ing over king and country every other odd Sunday.

This comes from the same guy who wants to sexually pleasure the Queen?

 

[Lord Burgess1]

She's a Jerry anyway.

 

[Warpoet]

I am in fact the German equivalent of an Earl, it is only fitting that the Queen roll out the red carpet while I roll out my Schlong.

That'd be one old, dusty, wrinkled carpet.

She always has her equerries beat the dust out of it before guests arrive.  Ahem.  So to speak.
