Canada bans Galloway

[Renton 22686]

His message is usually spot on, it's just his manner.....

 

*having said that, he still earns massive respect for his appearance before the US senate.

 

 

Exactly. He's not one for the sheep, but most of his comments hit the nail on the head. He has turned into a bit of a nob lately, but suppose fame and being so god damn right all the time is bound to make you big headed.

 

Thirded.

 

Plus, anyway, I'm literally amazed at some of the comments on this thread from people I'd expect something different from. FFS freedom of speech is nothing to do with this so-called 'hand-wringing'. It's common sense! Jesus wept, do we want to live in a world where only 'normal' comments are allowed or are we actually allowed to make our own minds up?

 

Also George Galloway has been elected a member of Parliament and Canada are part of the so-called 'Common wealth'. It's an utter joke the guy isn't being allowed to speak in a supposedly 'free' country called Canada, especially when the USA has no problems with him. He's banned for National Security needs apparently . Maybe someone can tell me how old George is going to threaten the Western civilised world with his wicked pen and tongue?

 

 

have you seen our PM FFS, the guy is scary I personally think he's a robot. I think the issue is his (GG) ties to Hamas, giving money or something, anyway because our gov't has Hamas on a "list" of terrorist organizations his affiliation is what the stink is about......not what he has to say.

 

As fer Parky, hahaha Canada boring!!!??? Whatever, if you've been here, fair enough to each their own. If not, STFU!!!! Canada is anything but boring, T.O. Montreal and Vancouver are all world-class cities with world class night life. Calgary, well I apologise for Calgary it is boring as fuck.

 

Only joshing mate. Don't take anything I say on these boards too seriously. :(

 

It's OK, I bet he has beady little eyes and a flapping head.

The Canadian and Geordie accent is quite similar.

 

For example: Outside is pronounced "ootside"

 

ha ha weird.

duly noted we canucks have a bit of a passive/aggressive nationalistic side, we're overly polite and can't really identify with what it is that makes us canadian but get bent out of shape if someone slags the great white north (no Danny that is not a racist nickname), back to the post......

 

just to show how ridiculous and clueless our gov't is, the U.S. have let Galloway in yet Harper and his cronies still won't because of "security concerns"......bunch of idiots, what kind of security concerns could there be if the U.S. is ok with it. It's like highschool student council up here, if you've ever had the displeasure to see the current canadian parliamentary question period they stand/sit around and yell insults at each othere while the other side is trying to make their point......utterly disgraceful.

ok, admittedly i am a GG neophyte, so please excuse this next question.

Why do so many on here have an issue with what this guy is saying? So far I have heard him say that he is against war and the killing of civilians..etc. , I can get behind those statements tbh.

 

So, keeping in mind I have heard very little of the rest of what GG has to say, whats the big deal?

[The Fish 11128]

I find his performances an obvious example of demagoguery. He panders to his constituents (like all other politicians) but does it with a self-righteous bluster that makes the rest of them seem restrained and gentlemanly. His performances on "Celebrity" Big Brother were spine snapping in their cloddishness.

 

He's less concerned with making a point as he is with making a noise.

 

 

basically he's a twat.

It's cause agreeing with him makes people feel uncomfortable...Better to slither back to the playstation/iphone/wanking games.

 

There is a kind of self-promoting side to him that puts people off (inc me).

 

He has been spot on about many issues and before the bandwagon jumpers.

And making a buck.

He is the left wing equivalent of the BNP. He plays on people fears and angers, then rabble rouses and appeals to those who don't feel part of society.

 

The lady who he won Bethnal off (Oona) was a genuine member of the local community, with community interest at heart. Some load mouth anti English Scot rocks up shouting about the war in Iraq making the inhabitants feel at risk from the government and wins himself a seat.

 

He shared quality streets with Sadam and refused to condemn attacks on allied troops, SCUM.

I think that's fair.

 

Getting back to the original point though, who wants to live in a country where people are banned for saying things you disagree with? Who should decide what can and can't be said? Seriously, Canada must be one pathetic place if it regards Galloway as a security risk (and before the beady eyes have a go at me, I realise this is the government stance rather than one of the general population, who I am sure are much more sensible).

I thought all Canadians shag Moose and Caribou? That's what I'm going there for, anyway.

I was thinking of going there this summer but will probably end up staying South or the border in the land of the free.

Saddam was the CIA's second biggest pawn for 10 years what's your point?

 

The gas used against the Kurds was made in the U.S.
