George Galloway, the socialist firebrand best known in America for his condemnations of Israel and the Iraq War, was soundly defeated for re-election to Parliament in Thursday's British general election.

Galloway, a former Labour member who won the seat for Bradford West in the northwest of England in a 2012 special election, was beaten by Labour's Naz Shah, a political newcomer who overcome childhood poverty, a teenage forced marriage and the imprisonment of her mother for killing an abusive partner.

Shah had urged voters to reject Galloway because "we do not need a one-man Messiah to tell us how to come and fix up Bradford."

Good riddance to bad rubbish. This election got very nasty, from the description. Sounds like some of Obama's elections.

[Old Sarge]

So, a good Labour Socialist was beaten by a good Labour Socialist Muslim.

Bad to worse?

[JustaCowgirl]

Possibly. But it’s hard to imagine worse than Galloway.

More good news!

[Moltke]

They just threw out a faux muzzie for the real thing. But from what I’ve read here about Galloway, good riddance in any case.

HURRAY!

BBC’s talking head pinkos are down in the mouth this morning.

That's a good enough barometer for me. Same method I use to pick who to vote for in the U.S. The more the MSM hates the person the more I can figure this is the person who will bust up the elites and their cozy fascist arrangements.

[RedHeeler]

Where do you vote... “for in the U.S.”..... slick livin’?

George Galloway, enemy of the Jews, is now ousted. I’m utterly ashamed that a Galloway would be such a Jew-hater (Galloway was my mom’s maiden last name). Now Galloway can lick his wounds and try to plot destruction of the Jews in the privacy of his own home.

[IronJack]

Exactly. Call me when they start jumping off buildings. And take pictures.

I don’t know anything about British politics, but I wonder if this moHamHead worshiper has maintained some sort of shadow influence the way so many of our former Rat politicians manage to do.

Nonetheless, based on quotes from Galloway that I have seen in articles on FR, it sounds like his loss is wonderful news.

[Paradox]

Politically speaking, George Galloway is one of the most loathsome characters in English speaking politics. I cannot imagine someone worse than him.

[Yo-Yo]

Now George has more time for cat play.

[JustaCowgirl]

Loathsome is a highly appropriate adjective for that man.

[Leaning Right]

But it’s hard to imagine worse than Galloway.

You've got that right. One of his ideas was to ban all Israelis (students, tourists, etc.) from Bradford. He's a noxious, evil man.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Good! I despise that commie SOB.

[elcid1970]

As the English might put it,

“Now that is a little bit of all right, now isn’t it?”

[dead]

[JustaCowgirl]

Is that photoshopped or real? If that’s real, all I have to say is Thank God that loathsome freak is gone from British politics. And I’m not British, imagine how they feel.
