The Labour Party

What a horrendous result. Basically an anti semite has won a by election off the back of a conflict thousands of miles away. Of course it’s awful, but if your bothered about local issues your vote doesn’t really mean anything.

It’s worrying that someone like that can win a seat. As above it’s the equivalent of someone like Tommy Robinson winning.

You forgot to include Russian shill and Saddam Hussein apologist.

Think you'll find the Thatcher government were very supportive of Saddam during the Iran/Iraq war.

Rock on Tommy.

…and that makes Galloway acceptable?

Not sure what your point is.

So the rabid anti-Semite won then. Shame on all those in Rochdale that voted for him.

No different to Tommy Robison winning a seat this and the message that would send.

He's mainly anti-west. He tried blaming Russia's invasion on the west (while taking Russia Today money), was in favour of Assad in the Syrian conflict, and in Israel-Palestine, he supports Palestine because the west supports Israel, and he knows he can ride that wave to election success and a cushy salary, particularly in byelections where there is typically a low turnout and protest votes. He has a history of turning up in areas with high Muslim populations, because he knows he can use Israel-Palestine for his own benefit. It's absolutely no surprise to see him floating back from under the U-bend after recent events.

He's absolutely trashed them in his speech for their support of the Israeli regime.

Saddam was our friend until he wasn't.

But that is not is what is being discussed

My point is that UK politicians of all hues give their support to unsavoury characters beyond our borders because they themselves are unprincipled.
