Why give him martyr status? He would love that!
People like Galloway fear being ignored.
Difficult to say who Galloway despises more: Jews, the U.S., or (non-Islamist) England.
I seem to recall that his wife is a politically-active Islamofascist sympathizer as well. His entire life is immersed in a seething hatred for Great Britain and the West, and his elected position gives him a voice and gives him legitimacy (to some). Unfortunately his statements and positions are a reflection upon Great Britain yet he is in a 'safe' district that just loves this Anglo pushing their cause.... it's sort of analogous to the Klan finding an utterly insane black politician who will fervently plead their cause and support their agenda,
"Why give him martyr status? He would love that! "
The laws should be enforced regardless of the issue of creating a martyr. If he's in prison, he won't have the bully pulpit to push his treason.
Perhaps when they're all living under Sharia law and their women are all wearing burkas. Perhaps not even then.
Why isn't Ward Churchill in prison then? Maybe it's for the same reason...

We have different laws AND Ward (he doesn't deserve that last name) isn't a member of a government.
Not unlike Jim McDermott here in Seattle. ....though "Baghdad" is a congresscritter, not a big city mayor.
"Perhaps when they're all living under Sharia law and their women are all wearing burkas. Perhaps not even then."
I doubt it will be all that long now.

Well neither of the countries seem to be bothered then do they? Also, Galloway isn't a member of any Government so I'm not sure what you mean by that.
He's a balloon.
Galloway is many things, but he is not an Anglo.
— Kingsley Amis, Stanley and the Women.
An entirely appropriate and relevant quote, thank you.
Exactly! He's in a safe position to wax stupid at every opportunity.
"Also, Galloway isn't a member of any Government so I'm not sure what you mean by that."
Galloway is MP for Bethnal Green & Bow, so yes, he is a "member of Government".
"I seem to recall that his wife is a politically-active Islamofascist sympathizer as well. "
The same could be said of Cherie Blair....
Let us not forget that in his Big Bruv appearance, Galloway also famously got down on all fours and drank milk from a bowl like a cat. He thinks that Great Britain is a joke and therefore he thinks nothing of the stature and respect that he of all people should afford his elected position. He thinks nothing of soiling the stature of his office with his antics because be believes that Great Britain has no stature worth upholding.
Government governs. Galloway governs no-one. The Executive is the Government.
"Government governs. Galloway governs no-one. The Executive is the Government."
Interesting perspective. Is the US Senate and House not part of "the government"?
I am not familiar with the specifics of US lawmakers. Maybe Senators etc govern but MP's do not.
I am grateful that you have an appropriate level of sympathy for the comparatively far more honorable and virtuous buzzards.
