Why George Galloway deserves no 'Respect'

George Galloway was suspended from the House of Commons for failing to declare all outside sources of income. This is a grave matter indeed. What makes it graver still is that the source of income in question was from the so-called Oil for Food programme, run by the UN and Saddam Hussein, which was used to buy political influence outside the country instead of spending it on the Iraqi people who were dying from those soldiers. So he was stealing directly from the mouths of the Iraqi people.

He's very pro-war but on the other side. He's an apologist for Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein and the Assad regime in Syria. He's defended the July 2005 terrorist attacks in London, saying we brought it on ourselves.

He has said publicly that the worst day of his life was the collapse of the Soviet Union.

He is on the payroll of Press TV, which is funded by the Iranian regime.

He was a 'personal friend' of the late Sheikh Zayed whose son, one of the UAE's 22 royal sheikhs, was filmed torturinga grain dealer he thought had cheated him. He beat him, drove a 4x4 over his legs and shovelled sand in his mouth shouting 'you donkey, you dog!'

And he calls his political party 'Respect'.
