George Galloway

From the huddleboard.
MP GEORGE BEATEN UP BY AIRPORT YOBS
EXCLUSIVE Thugs hurl sectarian abuse
By Mark Mcgivern
MAVERICK MP George Galloway was kicked and shoved by a jeering sectarian mob yesterday.

He was threatened and taunted by six men and almost pushed on to a luggage carousel as he arrived at Glasgow Airport.

Respect MP Galloway said: "It was a terrifying experience and quite disgraceful for these people to behave like this. There was one guy I would describe as a ringleader who said, ‘I don’t like your radio talk, I don’t like your newspaper talk, I have a religious duty to knock you down.’ "

Former Celebrity Big Brother star Galloway was called a “Fenian b******” and believes he was targeted for being a known Celtic supporter.

Last night, police were investigating the sickening ordeal and studying CCTV footage.

The MP had arrived from London on a British Midland flight to give a talk at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall. Though shaken, he went ahead with his one-man show last night.

The MP hosts a TalkSport radio phone-in and regularly gets involved in heated discussions with both sides of the sectarian divide, particularly over Ireland.

He said: "A group of men on the plane recognised me and the problem started right away.

"They were taunting me and threatening me during the flight and I should probably have arranged for police in Glasgow to be notified in advance.

"They were referring tome as a ‘Fenian b******’ and ‘f****** Fenian scumbag’ and other vile names and threatening to attack me when I got to Glasgow.
"They were shouting at me, ‘Were you down for the walk?’ The rest of the passengers were dumbfounded.

"I gather there was some Orange march in London over the weekend and people from Glasgow had travelled down for it.

"I had a feeling of dread. I hurried off the plane and got to the luggage carousel as quickly as possible and prayed my bag would come first but, of course, it didn’t
"The group came up behind me and they were straight in with the sectarian insults and threats.

"I felt one man kick me on one ankle and I was then kicked on the other ankle.

“The next thing I knew, I was bounced in the back by someone’s belly and virtually knocked on to the carousel itself.”

Galloway tried to make his way past the ringleader but was continually blocked by his stomach.
He said: "I tried to get round him on one side and then the other and he blocked me with his belly.

"By the time I made a complaint to police, a separate complaint had been made by a traffic warden over the conduct of a group of men shouting sectarian slogans outside.

“I’m amazed they would behave like this in an airport, where every angle is covered by CCTV.I gather the police were given the tapes.”

Last night, a police spokeswoman said: “We were made aware of allegations arising from an incident at Glasgow Airport. These are being investigated.”

Galloway is set to be the keynote speaker at a summer youth camp run by Irish Republicans.

He is billed as the “main event” at this year’s Campa Naisiunta Oige - National Youth Camp - in Ballintoy, County Antrim

Scotland’s sectarian shame.

I think Galloway is great. He cuts through all the shit and bluster every time, mugging off his opponents. There are loads of entertaining debates on youtube involving him. I enjoy the below video. See how he got under the guys skin, the bloke is badly rattled. Oh and he likes the RA.

wtf is a scatter cushion

The Trotsky slur from McGill has to be taken into context here. It’s coming from a Stalinist and not a capitalist
