Default george galloway and ub40

some good points made by the george in todays paper re- thatcher, what with the revelation from papers from back in the 80's about liverpool, the film coming out, coincidence? you decide...and a possible state funeral.....old thatch is topical.....see link below..


The Daily Record - George Galloway

scroll on to the headers for ; nightmare on downing street and culture will help the fight


both have mentions of ub40, 1 of the famous form which became the bands name and 1 of the band.

wonder if the film has any ub40 songs in it ?

will madam medusa be released or will there be a lyrically charged new song coming out about the condemolition.

a revised " hey folitician "

happy reading comrades

Well said George.I'll be alongside you if they are daft enough to give the witch a state funeral.A union official workmate of mine is holding a barbecue and has enlisted a local band to play at it when she snuffs it.I've got my invitation.I only hope it's in the summer.

don't agree with everything george says, he's very religious from what I hear. Which, for me, puts him in loony blair territory. And he's a bit of a stalinist too.

but he uses words like an axe, cutting the 'top-dog' politicians down to size when he exposes their hypocrisy.

Rockin....I will just go ahead and confess that a fairly reasonable chunk of time dedicated to planning the aforementioned East coast jig "Jig"

Georgie is surely one of the best speakers in politics these days .... ?

I don't always agree with George but do most of the time.What I admire about him,and this goes back to when he was in Labour too,is he says exactly what he thinks.Couldn't imagine George waiting for official party line via pager message when asked to comment on anything.

I can just hear his next radio broadcast......

"comrades.......At 3.05 pm today ... the 18th of November..., I received a message from the so called leader of the coRRrupt XXXXX party ... telling me ...no....commanding me ....to forgo my dignity ...and sink to the murky depths of immorality and........etc etc "
