GALLOWAY SPEECH IN BRADFORD

Agree with some points, disagree with others.

1st class hypocrite wtf is he doing at a freedom of speech rally? this is the bloke who refused to debate with an oxford student because he was Jewish. The slimeball is just trying to secure his seat in May, be funny if a muslim beat him at the poll

He starts of by saying that no one should be subjected to violence or death for anything they have written said or drawn.

Then at the end he said he will campaign in Parliament for protection from provocation for the prophets.

So he wants a law to ban criticism of the prophet.

Death or violence is out for what someone has written said or drawn, but some other punishment for it would be okay by George.

He compares the publishing of provocative drawings to shouting fire in a cinema.
Which is nonsense.
Shouting fire in a cinema causes people to panic out of fear.

Where is the fear in the cartoons to cause followers of Islam to panic and harm themselves and others?
They kill out of revenge because they can't stand ridicule not because they fear anything.

The Lord Haw Haw of the 21st century - a truly disgusting human being, however Ciceronian his oratory.

He never has made much sense.
He's a very dangerous man.

i for one completely agree with what he has wrote. dont forget a lot of the people on the march didnt like nor buy the  " satirical "

magazine. why on earth would you knowingly print something so offensive to millions of muslims is beyond me.

well done george.

why on earth would you knowingly print something so offensive to millions of muslims is beyond me

Because, for now, they can

He wants a law to ban it.

Well, a law to ban ridicule of the prophet.
Just like they have in Islamic countries.

roger, i am not sure if the printing of the magazine would be allowed on these shores, if anyone knows ?? thank in advance.

How can he defend freedom of speech in one breath, then campaign for restriction of what one says in another.

Some people need to listen carefully what he says before they agree with him.

He's a very dangerous man.

dr, i beleive in freedom of speech but if i set up a print works and started printing pictures of young children being abused i would

rightly be shut down and sent to prison. oh and thats twice youve said the man is very dangerous.

started printing pictures of young children being abused i would

That's against the law.

Why would you expect to get away with that?

That's got nothing to do with free speech.

INCITING RACIAL HATRED

thats against the law.

Islam is not a race.

The Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006 (c. 1) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which creates an offence in England and Wales of inciting  ...

Where's the hatred?

Where's the hatred?


  i am afraid you are seeing the hatred each and every day in these outrageous attacks.

  if you cant see that i dont know what else i can say.

You should read that statute very carefully Glasgowcalling - the editions of Charlie Hebdo which caused those Muslims to SHOOT DEAD 12 PEOPLE IN COLD BLOOD would be perfectly legal under the law if printed here.

dr , as you seem an expert on these matters maybe you will answer my simple question...would the same magazine be allowed to print in

britain. ??

thanks jed, that has come as a surprise to me... just going to google to find out more.

Apologies for that hideous tautology.

GC, Charlie Hebdo can be bought here if you know where to look, there is a large French ex-pat community in London.

The Police interviewed Galloway after one of his speeches condemning Israel.
That must have been for inciting racial hatred against the Jews.
He's got plenty of form for that.

It seems that racial hatred is okay for followers of Islam, but George thinks that even mild satire against Muslims should be banned.

i know the magazine can be bought here, i am trying to find out if it would be allowed to be printed here.

still googling..

You live in a country where a play can depict Jesus in a nappy and portrayed as gay. If your view is that it is unaccepable in any context to publish a photo of Mohammed then I'm afraid you are living in the wrong country. We should be repealing Labour's heinous anti libertarian laws not entertaining yet more curtailing of our civil liberties to pander to believers in any dark age fairy tales.

it won't be legal in a couple of years because yet again everyone will bend over backwards for them.

Quite right EO, absolutely spot-on.

One shudders to think where we would be on this argument had Labour had the last four years to further appease their client voters.

glasgow ...........are you on drugs??

after his cat episode i'm surprised anyone can tolerate the n0b

glasgow ...........are you on drugs??


  no im afraid not, cardiff please tell me which part of the article you didnt agree with, or are you like many and just dont like his

  attitude.

I always liked him, whether you agree with him or not, he is a phenomenal orator and debater.
But lately I find I'm disagreeing with a lot of his views. IMO, he is wrong about Islam, and he was wrong about Scottish Independence.

George likes to play the pantomime villain.

He's always good entertainment on Question Time.

He's an grade 1 idiot but an entertaining idiot nonetheless

Personally, don`t like the guy. Egotist and a Traitor to Scotland along with all the other NO voters. Good orator though tbf. Makes some good points and gibbers some rubbish as usual.


About the only good thing he's done in recent times.
With oil prices below $50 a barrel Scotland would have had the begging bowl out even before we went independent.
You should be thanking George and every other NO voter for saving us from a life of poverty that would have awaited us had the yes voters won.

Crazy for George who seems to have fought censorship his whole life to take the stance that he has taken here.
Well strange until you think of the make-up of the voters who got him elected.
Once a self preservationist always a .............................

would have been funny if the jocks voted yes because they were never going to get the pound and all their fantasy economics relied on high oil prices.

Wee ecks economic model was structured around an oil price of $113.
We were told it was a booming industry with a bright future.
Less than 6 months after that was last repeated the industry is in danger of imploding.

Bula, Did you ever find out what Galloway`s ulterior motifs were (your words not mine) for endorsing the NO vote?? or were you just suspicious because he is a high profile Celtic supporter

Even if it were true, I`d rather have pride and get by with no erse in my trousers than kotow to the English ruling class in Westminster and Whitehall and London city. No offence intended to the decent, honest, hard working Englishman who suffers just as much at their behest.

Galloway is  just a contrarian and maybe had a bi of history with a few leaders of SNP in their past life as hard left Labour supporters.

Labour is finished in Scotland. Hundreds of thousands, including myself, will never vote for them again. Bunch of Quislings the lot of them.

Saved us from a lifetime of poverty mac.
Maybe a monument to the 62% who didn't vote yes is in order.

is Connery back in Scotland yet ?

62% ??? I thought it must have been a landslide for the SNP the number of times I keep seeing the ginger bird on TV now.

I'll tell you want you want

treetop

62% ??? I thought it must have been a landslide for the SNP the number of times I keep seeing the ginger bird on TV now.

Wee eck and his poster girl tried to sell the notion to the nation but only managed to get 38% of the electorate to vote yes.
And they only achieved that %age by giving the vote to 16 and 17 year olds who fell for the romantic rhetoric that fell out of the mouth of every yes campaigner.

I`d rather be a Romantic than a Prostitute

Are you considering a career change then.

"The Prophet..."

What exactly did he prophesy??

LOL at the naivety over the oil prices

"Never mind the avoidance of economic decimation and the increases in austerity, borrowing, tax rises and unemployment - feel the width of the chip on my shoulder and the weight of my economic illiteracy"....

Platini

LOL at the naivety over the oil prices

You need to explain that Plat as something tells me you haven't thought this through.

going alone relying on north sea oil for your wealth is equivalent to building a house on sand....as has been proved by massive

drop in the cost of oil...which may well last for a couple of years yet.
