Can’t stand the man. He’s only interested in promoting himself. I doubt he’ll fix any local issues.

LadyMacbethssweetArabianhand · 01/03/2024 12:00

He's vile. Most Scots had his measure years ago. He'll say anything and follow any political point to have power. He's in it for himself only

WettyBite · 01/03/2024 12:01

What’s new pussycat? Ugh.

Februaryfeels · 01/03/2024 12:01

He's a disgusting arsehole with followers with pea brains

Can't believe he got any votes at all

Orab · 01/03/2024 12:05

Apparently he's going to solve Israel vs Palestine. Yes that's right, after decades of failure despite the best efforts of the rest of the world, this brave lone rider is the one who will make a difference. Him and his manky fucking hat in Rochdale.

Ha ha - DH & I still talk about that now. I’ll never not think of this scene when ever I hear his name 🤮🙈

Don’t know why he’s claiming Keir Starmer had his arse spanked when the Labour candidate was withdrawn weeks ago due to antisemitic comments.
Ugh he winds me up.

WHO, but WHO are those people who vote for people like him or Trump - THAT is the really worrying question.

In Rochdale, the Muslim vote mainly. His campaign letters were entirely different depending on if they were sent to a Muslim or non-Muslim household.
To the Muslims he stated he is going to sort out the Palestine and Israel conflict.
To non-Muslims he mentioned that he has no problem defining what a woman is, and about sorting out the housing crisis amongst other things.

I read it that the people who voted for him did so because he said he was standing for the people of Gaza. My assumption is that it was a show of support for Gaza.

There is so much cr*p going on in the UK right now. Surely he should be representing his constituents instead of focusing on the middle-east. This surely must be protest vote rather r than anything else specially since the official labour candidate had the whip removed for his anti-Semitic comments

WettyBite · 01/03/2024 12:25

No idea what he’s actually planning for Rochdale itself 🤔

@WettyBite nothing! That’s the problem

NecessaryNC24 · 01/03/2024 12:29

Honestly it's bonkers. And the people that can't see that worry me more than the cat-man himself.

LlynTegid · 01/03/2024 12:38

Second worst politician in terms of treatment of women at a personal level after Boris Johnson.

Hope the allegations about postal voting are investigated.

Ginmonkeyagain · 01/03/2024 12:43

Well I for one am completely sure he will improve things for the citizens of Rochdale, just like he did for the citizens of Tower Hamlets and Bradford West. 🤔

But in focusing on the ME he is representing the constituents who voted for him (which if you’re a politician are the only ones that matter). To them, the Gaza war is the single most important issue of the day. Which is why they voted for him and everyone else stayed home as they didn’t have a candidate to represent their interests.

Ginmonkeyagain · 01/03/2024 12:44

Also what is with all this "I, George Galloway" stuff. The pompous self regarding prick.

WTAF!?!

thanks for the link. Genuinely don’t know who the man is.

His ego is so massive it has its own gravitational field.

Honestly. When he was my MP in Bethnal Green he came into a cafe I was in, and my teaspoon flew out of my hand and stuck to his forehead.

the80sweregreat · 01/03/2024 13:08

Populism in action.

Goatymum · 01/03/2024 13:09

He is a prick of the highest order. Will jump on any bandwagon going for self-promotion.
Even if you believe his BS what do you think he will do about the Middle East issues? It’s the extremism on both sides there which needs sorting and ur won’t be by cat-man.
Anyone who voted for him should be ashamed of themselves.
