Shout out to England.

[jayctravis]

For showing us how it's done re: Galloway, and a PM who at has the cojones to do an unscripted town-hall forum for a hostile and unscreened audience.

1. They Got the Guts!

Unlike the cowardly Rethuglicans who will only speak in front of handpicked, loyal yes-men.

2. He's Scottish

But I agree with the sentiment. :hi:

7. Thanx Wallace.

I make no claims to be a Scot... as u can see from my flag! Merely correcting a wee geographical error there regarding the conflating of Britain and England!

:toast:

5. Can you imagine the carnage if Lt AWOL had to face a Question Time...

...on a WEEKLY basis like his poodle does in Westminster?

Ye Gods that would be entertaining....

[Henny Penny]

8. I think they would never have gotten away

with getting him to stand in the first place!

10. His head would have exploded long ago.

He can barely field a difficult question, and the people in Blair's panel were openly hostile.

But...Parliament is like that. There is vocal hostility and less bullshit, all done in a surprisingly organized manner. I said it before...the government floor is where war should happen.

9. Aaaaand....I'm a complete nimrod...

Confusing "English" and "British" as synonyms.

Apologies to Scotland.

Shout out to the BRITISH.

11. Instead of "Don't Mess With Texas", it's "Don't Mess With

The Scottish"; well done, Mr. Galloway. I salute you.

12. Glasgow

Honourable George Galloway was a member of the labour party representing
part of Glasgow in the national parliament at westminster for some
time. He was tossed out of the labour party for his views on the war,
that he was not intent on following with the liars and the criminals.

He's now run as an independent called the "Respect" party and won a
seat down south in England. (Here in scotland, we call "england"
"down south").

He's an old labour champion, with the understanding that war is started
and fueled by effite toffs, and then the common man (read: labour) dies
by the thousands. He made great efforts to act on behalf of the common
person during this whole iraq affair, and has even won a liabel suit
in britain where a newspaper made false allegations on his integrity
regarding this liar's war.

I gotta hand it to 'im... he done scotland proud.

This is the scotland flag, St. Andrews cross. white "X" cross on
blue background)

13. Yes, well

...they've had a few hundred more years of "civilizaton" to get it right..not saying they have, but closer than us, apparently! We just need to get past our teens to our young adult phase and we may make it. Not looking to good, though. I am NOT looking foreward to the British saying "I told you so!"
