The thought of George Galloway just saying naw must surely have the Indy movement all a tremble. The thought of this political giants indefatigability being brought to bear is awe inspiring.
Meanwhile back on planet Earth wor Dod should stick to sooking in with dictators and realise that any cause he lends his support to is actually helping its opposition.
Bring it on George, all support is welcome, even the inadvertent variety.

He’s a bit of a joke.
Bethnal Green put up with him for a bit and when they saw through him and dumped him he tried Newham, which was quite close and they knew how crap he was, so off to Bradford, oop north, and they too found out what a complete waste of money he was.
He was better at being a cat, and he wasn’t awfully good at that, from what I heard.

I’ve got Galloway down as a wannabe House Negro who is still stuck out in the fields.
There weren’t that many kilts on display on Saturday but lots of people from around the world showing support for our cause.
Galloway is demonstrating the irrational thinking we have come to expect from Britnats.
His vehicle to becoming a House Negro (Corbyn) has a version of socialism that stops at the ENGLISH
Channel,unlike most of us independenistas who share a vision of Scotland as a welcoming 21st Century European state,willing to cooperate with others.
That was the main plank of the Britnats during the last referendum (pooling and sharing etc) which has
been now been completely destroyed by Brexit.
If Galloway wants to belong to a xenophobic,isolationist country then that is his problem but leave us out of that.

Galloway and Gove, yeah they do seem to fit together pretty well. I like the idea of MPs having to raid the refuse like some desperate people have to do in Ghana, Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh… there is a link but I’m not sure what it is. What is truly annoying though is that the worst of the Brit Nats are all Scots who have licked up the crumbs from the floors of the British establishment and are happy to keep doing their bidding, or is that miden, they have no self respect what so ever and can’t even see it. We live in truly weird times.

One of those enormous, curved home theatre 4k thingies, from John Lewis, maybe – can they still claim those on parliamentary expenses?
More to the point – in Germany, the system is that if you are chucking out furniture, you wait till the first Tuesday of the month (I think it is), anyone can come along and take it if they want it, and the municipality comes round on Wednesdays and picks up what’s left. No need to throw your old sofa down a railway embankment if you can’t afford the uplift charge, or don’t want to pay it.

Four or five of my care assistants have actually said as much; I didn’t ask all of them. I do know that there’s only a couple of Unionists in among them. All of them working on the day, and they’re on such low pay that getting to Edinburgh from Dundee would have been a significant hole in their budgets anyway – even though they’re on the Scottish living wage and therefore better paid than their counterparts in England, it still doesn’t leave much scope for discretionary spending.

Is that his hold over her? I Think We Should Be Told!
Mind you, the quickest way for her to sign her own (political) death warrant would most likely be that revolutionary, unfashionable, almost unprecedented thing – telling the truth.
