OBJECTION
He is not English he is a Scott, and is an MP in a constituency where shall we say the voters are a little bit (NOT ENGLISH) Care being taken because we can go to prison for free speech in this country. In Britain you can stand in the street as an ethnic and spout treason, if your English you cannot speak the truth or you get prosecuted.
This is a restriction you do not seem to have thrust upon you in America so have a heart when you judge us. And in fact it does not work in Britain as you seem to think. A party that polls a greater proportion of the vote does not win in the UK so please do not generalise about the Feelings of Brits. We are suffering the same as you in our leadership and its not popular here.
Obama was not popular with Brits prior to his election and in truth most people (contrary to what the press says) had not heard of him. Bush was popular as we saw him as an average Jo. We don’t care what you concluded from our leadership or the press. The powers that be in UK are considering ways to make the public vote and pay attention to Politics, so why do you imagine we would as a majority think about your. Less than half those entitled to vote in the UK do so. ITS CALLED APATHY.
Apparently the English have the same problem we do with a significant portion of the voting public unable to deal with truth and reality.
Perhaps you missed the fact that the above was not this: So have a heart when you judge us. As stated in the first sentence, WE in the US have the same unfortunate issues.
I would not stand in judgment of our next best Allie in all the free world. Who knows when the next Sir Winston, or Maggie Thatcher will rise to the occasion.
Is the traitorous Galloway a Scott in a Scottish constituency, or a Scott living in an English constituency. I wasn’t able to discern that exactly from his website. The constituency appeared to be English, but...
if your English you cannot speak the truth or you get prosecuted. This is a restriction you do not seem to have thrust upon you in America. Not quite yet, but just you wait Enry Iggins, the threats are already being voiced.
And finally, my paternal Great Great Grandfather left Scotland in 1844 for these shores. The other side of the paternal family left England in the 1850’s. I hold both heritages in high esteem.
I didn’t realize greater percentage of votes does not get one elected in the UK - by what standard does it take there to be elected?
As for Galloway being a Scott...being from Scottish blood myself (half Scott to be accurate) Galloway is an embarrassment to all Scottsmen or should be.
In America if you are white and speak English you can't speak the truth or you get prosecuted in the media or the courts depending on what truth you are speaking.
We have the same problems with the press, current leadership and voting.
