Human rights lawyers said last night it would be an extremely difficult case to pursue. Roger Bingham of the civil rights group Liberty said: 'Galloway's statement is an expression of opinion. We live in a free-speech, democratic society and elect MPs to speak out on national issues.'

Oh, puh-leeze. Where did these "lawyers" get their licenses---Wal-Mart?

Not all speech is "free" or created equal.

There is no First Amendment in Britain.
There is not even a prohibition of Ex Post Facto Laws.

Parliment could pass a new law against something he did, and then try him for breaking the law that wasn't even in existance at the time he commited the act.

He's Toast.
