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.

GG has 'personaility', 'dares to say things other's wouldn't', 'a maverick outside the political system and therefore able to stand with those who are oppressed' or some such crap.

I remember the cunt poncing around some quite deprived area's of Glasgow in his big fuck of Merc or whatever it was.

An utter arsehole of a man with absolutely no redeeming qualities about him, he makes my skin crawl the odious little toad.

EldritchCleavage · 28/08/2012 11:45

Yeah, I read a good article in the Indy (it does happen occasionally) saynig the world was divided into two camps on George Galloway-those who are now outraged by him (re Assange comments) and those who have always been outraged by him.

He's getting worse. once upon a time he was almost a proper politician, now he is a rabble-rouser whose misogyny, intolerance and complete lack of personal restraint or judgment is becoming more and more evident.

I am still waiting for someone to turn up on this thread and tell me I have no sense of humor/amd too politically correct/that GG is misunderstood . (delete as applicable). Thankfully no one has yet.

I think as Eldritch has said he's becoming such an extreme version of himself, a caricature that any moderate minded fans he had have probably long gone.

StuntGirl · 28/08/2012 13:00

I absolutely hate him, was gobsmacked anyone voted him in. Vile man.

TheBigJessie · 28/08/2012 13:00

I particularly hate "windowlicker". When I hear it, I immediately imagine a generic cute child with autism licking a window. How can you use such a harmless trait* as an insult?

It just showcases you as a hideous, vile prat.

*sure, it's unhygienic but it's not "sordid", or anything like that.

TheBigJessie · 28/08/2012 13:04

hobnobs he is misunderstood. Not a single person so far, including me, has called him "the lowest common denominator arse-licking scumbag, who is devoid of all empathy or human kindness"! I just said vile prat before.

I think he is misunderstood. In his head I'm sure he thinks he's a bit of a Rob Roy figure with the wit and charm of Noel Coward and the political credentials of Clement Atlee. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't understand this and just see a bigoted and rather repulsive old fool with the principles of Lord Haw Haw.

Dawndonna · 28/08/2012 14:18

He's a moron with a Napoleon complex.
Shouldn't be allowed near a microwave, let alone anything else with power.

TheBigJessie · 28/08/2012 14:27

Saskia may have nailed it!

Unfortunately, George Galloway has been terribly misunderstood- and has thus been allowed to pass himself as a legitimate politician!

ErikNorseman · 28/08/2012 14:28

He is utterly foul, immoral, obnoxious and stupid.

nailak · 28/08/2012 14:36

i am undecided on GG, a lot of what he says sometimes I find really good, but then again there is somthing about him I dont trust.

But tbh I have no idea what a window licker is, no idea that it would be offensive, no idea it refers to disabled people and is derogatory etc.

I think sometimes people say stuff without malice and without knowledge, i think how long before the word idiot etc becomes offensive? since all its colloquial synonyms are?

RedHelenB · 28/08/2012 14:37

Never ever come across that term.

mumofjust1 · 28/08/2012 14:40

GG is a disgusting excuse of a man.

Can't stomach him at all, he makes me so bloody cross.

His recent comments were vile. He should try talking out of his arse - I'm sure it would be far more pleasant.

My DD used to lick windows (and resturant tables, and sometimes people) but she doesn't have any kind of disability - he's making himself look more and more pathetic all the time.

He is a cunt.

eurochick · 28/08/2012 14:44

I'm glad he made these comments.

Perhaps now those who support him will see him for the vile bigoted individual he is.

Vagaceratops · 28/08/2012 14:48

He is a twat of the highest order.

I hop he fucks of soon, every time I see his face I want to throw up.

DISrespect Bingo:

Sexist rape apologist - Tick
Disablist - Tick
Anti-semitism - Tick

and counting...

ButHeNeverDid · 28/08/2012 14:57

nailak - you may not be familiar with the phrase. But I guarantee that GG is.

He is an orator. And is famed for his speaking skills - he would be very well aware of what he was saying.

And out of interest - what does he say that you "sometimes think is really good"?

SoleSource · 28/08/2012 14:59

I hope he dirs writhing in agony.

My so called father used to make jokes about window lickets I.front of my Autistic child. He is an utter damaged vile ball of pigshit too.

JumpingThroughMoreHoops · 28/08/2012 15:05

I cant stand the bloke, nor his politics however, a work colleague, used to live in his constituency and reckons the bloke is an utter diamond who relentlessly works for his constituents, takes on every cause and fights it with every breath in his body.

Takes all sorts I suppose

Vagaceratops · 28/08/2012 15:06

Those of you who havent heard the term then fair enough, not everyone has. But in order to use it in as an insult you must know what it means.
