I would not be surprised if this was staged. But then again, maybe not.

No. It’ll make him feel vindicated, and his rotten party along with him. If it was staged, that was why it was staged. If it was not, it will still have the desired effect.

Since he’s one of the pieces of garbage who says the Holocaust didn’t happen, I say he was not assaulted.

Galloway, who leads the far-left Respect Party,

I guess this guy was not about to show Galloway any respect.

Those injuries would be consistent with Galloway having attempted to have non-consensual sex with a goat, who uncharacteristically put up a good fight.

Of course it could have been something else entirely. But, based on the company that Galloway keeps, the first scenario cannot be ruled out.
