Some sense from George Galloway re JKR

[SunsetBeetch]

It’s a strange world when George Galloway is the voice of reason but he is only saying what the vast majority of people think.

Awaits death threats, rape threats and dick pics showering down on George Galloway...

I vehemently disagree with George Galloway on most things. I agree with him on this subject.

I am a bit confused though. I keep hearing that only the hard right support JKR.

It is indeed a strange world when the misogynist George Galloway has views on a subject which most would agree with.

He seems to be a reformed character. He’s even fighting the ghastly SNP and their independence nonsense!
I’m gobsmacked to find myself agreeing with him on anything, let alone two separate issues. But here we are. I’ll take allies wherever I can find them. My enemy’s enemy, etc...

On one day I read sense on this issue from George Galloway AND Michael Portillo. Strange bedfellows!

Harrumph. He was 100% the voice of reason on Iraq.

That was great. Not sure he needed to add the 'gay' to the 'transgender and transvestite' bit tho - my personal opinion is that LGB should move far far away from the T - but a clear and simple message

He’s even fighting the ghastly SNP and their independence nonsense!

He did a fantastic job on his 2014 lecture tour. I know someone who in a last ditch effort to make his teenage daughters see sense took them to hear Galloway speak and he changed their mind to No.

He seems to be a reformed character. He’s even fighting the ghastly SNP -- another party that has been captured by identity politics.

Good old George. I've often disagreed with him, but he's never been afraid to say what he believes. And here he is taking a stand for realism, for sanity. Good man.

Yes, he's a fantastic orator. I'll give him that.

Well said George, the clear voice of reason.

About time too.

Absolutely gobsmacked! Would never have thought in a thousand years I'd watch GG saying anything and I'd be nodding along and clapping him! Well said that man, more power to his elbow since women's elbows are truly fucked.

George Galloway is a hate-filled, sectarian misogynist - he is not a "good man".

What did Michael Portillo say? I'm all ears!

George Galloway is still a misogynistic arse

At least he doesn't split his infinitives

What did he say in the video that you disagree with?

Come on now we all know ths score by now. You can only agree that a person made some good points if you agree with everything else they've ever said. That's how adult discourse works /s

Eugh, I feel like I need a shower after watching that. He's not transphobic because he once met a trans woman and tenderly kissed her on the cheek, yuck, especially yuck given his previous views on consent. And what ridiculous hyperbole, so some kid burnt a copy of JK's book on youtube, people burn things all the time, people burnt Bob Dylan's records when he started using an electric guitar, it's hardly akin to the Salem Witch Trials. Repeated slurs based on mental health as well and all through the medium of a homophobic murderous regime's state tv channel.

Sometimes you don't need to see a posters name to recognise who wrote it.

Excellent - you will need them. (Your ears I mean).

There was a long thread on this at the time.

i don't think you listened properly jj. He didn't "once meet" her, she is a friend of his.

I have to say I do find him rather slimy. It might be that Big Brother cat incident...
