Controversial politician George Galloway has emerged as the bookies’ favourite to be named Rochdale’s next MP following a chaotic by-election campaign.
Galloway, a former Labour and Respect Party MP, now leads the Workers Party of Britain and has set his sights on another return to parliament.
To say the contest has been be chaotic would be an understatement. Labour, which is defending the seat following the death of the sitting MP in January, withdrew support for its candidate, Azhar Ali, over remarks suggesting Israel was complicit with the massacre of its own people on 7 October.
The implosion of Ali’s campaign has meant Galloway, who is heavily campaigning on the Palestinian cause and Gaza, has been able to appeal to many of Rochdale’s Muslim population.
Elsewhere, the Reform Party candidate is Simon Danczuk – another former Labour MP who was suspended by the party after sending explicit messages to a 17-year-old girl in 2016. He has also been the subject of an alleged death threat. Meanwhile, the Green Party withdrew support for its candidate days after putting him forward after old social media posts came to light.
So, while the likely winner is hard to determine, Galloway is certainly in the mix...
Galloway has spoken openly about his feelings on the Gaza war throughout the by-election campaign and described Israel as an “apartheid” state. Campaign rallies have seen supporters chant ‘From the river to the sea’ – a phrase regarded as antisemitic by some.

Plays the flute, doesn’t he?
This old commie’s still around?
He says this will be his last election @ age 69
SEEMS LIKE he’s been around forever, but apparently he’s onlr four years older than me.
I am depressed.
Yeah, I thought he was a terrific flautist.
Labor Party kicked out their nominee for crazy anti-Semitic comments.
So now they don’t have a candidate and that district won’t vote Conservative.
Galloway is a sick freak who has been working for Chicoms doing propaganda for them.
Of course he also propagandizes for Russia and Hamas.
This communist and terrorist supporter has a few fans here, though.

A brutal ISIS torturer wasn’t the only jihadist terrorist who traveled with former British MP George Galloway to Gaza, it has been revealed.
According to a recent report, Alexander Kotey left the UK on Galloway’s “Viva Palestina” convoy to Gaza in 2009, and from there eventually made his way to Syria to join the Islamic State terror group. [...]
As many as eight Muslim extremists who would later be convicted of or involved in terrorist activities joined the convoy, according to The Times. Among them were Amin Addala and Reza Afsharzadegan, both known associates of Emwazi from west London; and Stephen Gray, a former member of the Royal Air Force who attempted to join ISIS.
The list of extremists who traveled with Galloway also includes a member of the Taliban and former Guantanamo Bay detainee, Jamal al-Harith. Al-Harith was released from Guantanamo in 2004, and more recently joined ISIS in Syria.

George Galloway And The Left’s Alliance With Terror
The news that British MP George Galloway was the planned guest speaker at a February 1 Hamas fundraiser at Boston’s Palestinian Cultural Center for Peace would, in a morally coherent world, be alarming for those in the West who wonder why elected officials should be gathering support for a group of jihadist thugs whose principal efforts are dedicated to the extirpation of Israel and the murder of Jews.

Another George Galloway fan club post - you are of course a “neocon” if you don’t think he is credible.
Comrade Galloway is Comrade Galloway he and Sinn Fein-IRA Gerry Adams play in the Marx-Lenin League.
But in the UK people like Sir Keir Starmer the Labour leader and Foreign Secretary David Cameron who push with Russia are also Leftists who moled their way into Mainstream Politics.
Used to be best buddies with Saddam Hussein, too.
