Checkmate.

Bump!

Evening Ivan!

Did you buy the telegraph today? I only wish I had a scanner for the picture of Galloway's wife! She'd last about 5 minutes in the middle east dressed like that.

[Only1choice____Freedom]

I am glad this is getting some play.

In the past things like this have gone unnoticed by the mainstream press.

Let's put it up again. and again. and again.

This man has profited from other's deaths. Including tyhe children of Iraq.

How many more will we see. Shine the light of truth on all of them, open the files for all to see.

[Dog]

Ivan this is just amazing stuff...

[MadIvan]

Unfortunately, no. But seeing George Galloway's wife is just not one of my priorities. ;)

Regards, Ivan

[per loin]

Galloway? Is that how you Brits pronounce "Ritter"?

[3AngelaD]

I think Mr. Galloway is in deep doo doo, as President Bush 41 would say. Ivan, is this how one gets kicked out of Parliament?

[Miss Marple]

Apparently Galloway is threatening a libel suit, which he has not yet filed.

I think the Telegraph has their ducks in a row, or they would not have printed the allegations.

This should be interesting .

[MadIvan]

I suspect he'll be kicked out of the Labour Party, the next step would be for criminal charges to be filed, and then a special election will be held to fill his seat.

His seat is due to be abolished anyway in the next election, due to a reduction in the number of Scottish MPs - it wasn't looking likely he would be able to hold on when others more loyal to Blair are in position.

Thanks, MadIvan.

So we know that an MP makes 55K pounds a year.

We also know that Galloway owns some nice real estate in Glasgow, London and Portugal.

We know that his wife is a professor, but I don't know how much they're paid in the UK. Probably about the same amount.

We know that he worked as a union thug before he was elected.

Interesting.

David Blair was on ITN News earlier today. He described how he found it, where he found it (he showed Sky News where he found it). The papers were in the middle of a box file marked "Britain". David said in response to the idea that the documents are forgeries:

"A forger would have to make the documents, photocopy them, annotate them, stick them in the middle of a box file in a small store room in the centre of the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, on the off chance that a British journalist would find it."

All to take down one relatively obscure Labour MP. I don't think so.

Regards, Ivan

[mewzilla]

I wonder what else was in the box?

[mgstarr]

I really don't find Galloway much different than William Joyce, Lord Haw Haw. A shame he can't be prosecuted similarly.

[alnitak]

Well, not scantily page 3 style, but skirt well above the knee, reclining on a sofa. Not what I expected.

[Shermy]

which is not a registered charity,

Voila.

[MadIvan]

It gets more interesting, David Blair also pulled the box on France. He's going through that one next apparently.
