Qt - George Galloway

[agchristie]

Galloway remarked that the venue was possibly the coldest in 40 years but it certainly became heated by the finish!

How did you view his performance tonight?

[SirOracle]

I felt that he was fairly subdued,but he was not allowed to put over his reasonable views due to uncontrolled heckling, from many in the audience .

A poor performance from the normally efficient Dimbelby as Chairman.

[SirOracle]

Sorry typo should be Dimbleby

[TWR]

They should have also had the Beast Of Bolsover on the panel, "say it as it is" no pussy footing,

[mikey4444]

As soon as I saw that Galloway was going to be on the program, I lost all interest in watching it. Ghastly man !

[naomi24]

I’ve recorded it and will watch it today, but a couple of points. If for whatever reason you refuse to listen to people you don’t like, you aren't qualified to make an informed judgement. I don’t like George Galloway but I listen to what he has to say. Similarly with the so-called Beast of Bolsover. A man with his head stuck very firmly in the past and representative of a Labour party that diehards refuse to acknowledge no longer exists.

[mikey4444]

I stopped taking much notice of this idiot when he thought it was a good idea to appear on Big Brother, and make an even bigger fool of himself, than he had done before.

A reminder for those that might have forgotten !

Hear hear, naomi.

The question, mikey...is


How did you view his performance tonight?

Not..........how did you view his performance in CBB 2006


Please try and stay on topic!

[Baldric]

Oh Mikey, fast becoming Mr You don't want to do it like that!

[mushroom25]

I mentioned mr Galloway's feline performance a few weeks ago when it was suggested he would be granted a podium at the election debates.

at the time, I recall a string of ab-ers wishing to be in a queue to lick rula lenska......

[mikey4444]

Mush...go and sit in the naughty step !

[naomi24]

The place certainly warmed up! I can’t remember ever seeing such a noisy Question Time. Presented with a Jewish contingent in the audience that heckled him pretty mercilessly, he stood his ground – but what a very angry man he is!

[agchristie]

I felt this was a rather more restrained Galloway whose facial expression suggested pent up fury though he didn't fully erupt as seemed likely. He did stand his ground despite the predictable heckling. Dimbleby may have been lenient in not keeping the audience under sufficient control but it was on the cards.

The only other QT I can recall of a similar nature was when Martin McGuinness clashed with the Unionist MP. Dimbleby threatened to call a halt to proceedings if I recall correctly!

Like him or loathe him, Galloway is a colourful character who is not afraid to hide away. He must have known he was a sitting duck to appear on this particular edition but he never looked like suffering a knockout blow this time!

Wonder what the vote count will be in his constituency come May?

[agchristie]

Well, well, well....

Does Galloway have sime fair points here particularly around the absence of Muslim participation in the audience?

[ixion]

This QT is still available on iplayer and well worth a look...gorgeous George single handedly responsible for the rise in anti-semitism? I think not.

[agchristie]

@ ixion

His detractors would conveniently claim he bears some responsibility though.
