Vile, disgusting man. Not content with being a rape apologist he tweeted on Sunday and referred to someone as a"window licker". A vile, derogatory term of abuse used against people with disabilities. Why is this man an elected mp? Surely people can see what a truly disgusting man he is.

I agree that he's horrid because of the rape apologist, but I don't understand the term window licker at all. Have you got a link please?

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 28/08/2012 10:31

Really sorry cant link on my phone. Article in the guardian today.

Bloody hell, he just doesn't know when to stop! He really is a vile little man.

IawnCont · 28/08/2012 10:32

Thanks, I'll have a look online now.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/aug/27/george-galloway-criticised-window-licker-tweet Here it is.

What an utter nob. How can anyone vote for him?

IawnCont · 28/08/2012 10:34

Whoops

Try again

Bloody hell! The window licker term is extremely offensive and usually directed at those with learning difficulties.

I can only hope this is the nail in the coffin and those who voted for him will think again next time.

His party is called respect it's a shame he has none.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 28/08/2012 10:36

Thanks iawn.

I hate him with a passion, I hope this is the end but I doubt it, he seems to get away with it time and again. I thought CBB would see him off but it didn't.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 28/08/2012 10:38

Hopefully his own party will turn on him now.

What a despicable specimen he is. Is he related to Nick Griffin by any chance?

He disgusts me.

NigellasGuest · 28/08/2012 10:42

He can go and move in with Rula Lenska and permanently Be The Cat.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 28/08/2012 10:43

At least these tweets can be referred back to ad infinitum if he trys to portray himself in the future as anything but a complete wanker.

OP posts:
TheBigJessie · 28/08/2012 10:44

Why is he a member of a party called Respect? He evidently has none.

Orwellian · 28/08/2012 10:44

Lets be honest, the only reason he was elected was that he appealed very strongly to a certain demographic with lots of vitriolic talk. He played this card very well and was elected.

He is a disgusting and immoral man. He makes MP's look even worse than they normally do. There is nothing redeeming about him. He really is a nasty shit.

SlightlySuperiorPeasant · 28/08/2012 10:45

YANBU, utter idiot. I hoped that the cat thign might finish him off but no. Let's hope he doesn't do a Silvio.

Lilithmoon · 28/08/2012 10:47

He really is disgusting isn't he? Perhaps this will finally finish his career off.

squoosh · 28/08/2012 10:49

The only comfort I have is that the clip of him dressed up as a cat licking milk from Rula Lenska's hands is played with joyful regularity.

I agree he is a vile little creep.

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 28/08/2012 10:50

I'm the proud owner of a 'window licker' ( he also licks lamposts and pavements ) What a fool, he's a suit wearing scumbag.

TerraNotSoFirma · 28/08/2012 10:50

I hate him. With a passion.
Unfortunately the type of people that support him wont be offended by his comments.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 28/08/2012 10:53

I just find it so depressing that people are stupid enough to vote for him.

OP posts:
ButHeNeverDid · 28/08/2012 10:54

Agree with Terra - his supporters will not care at all about this comment or the rape ones.

With regard to the Nick Griffin point up thread. There is a point where the extreame right and the extreame left meet. And that is where you will find George.

WorraLiberty · 28/08/2012 10:55

He's a vile, creepy little man.

tryingtonotfeckup · 28/08/2012 10:55

squoosh, I cannot watch that clip, it makes me feel ill.

I don't think it will make any difference, I'm very sad about that. He would probably write us off as the "chattering classes".

I saw him the last time he was on Question Time and none of the politicians took him on, they just avoided what he said. The only person with the guts and intelligence to do it was David Aronovitch (sp?), he did it so well bringing up everything that he had done / said in the best where it clashed with what he was now saying. Plus a lady in the audience who asked what he knew about Bradfords problems and how he was going to solve them, he couldn't answer the question and only responded with general points. Awful, had no idea about Bradfords problems. I wish he would be challenged more to show him for what he really is, a gutter fighter.
