George delivers some home truths

Our political household was abuzz with excitement yesterday as we watched George Galloway deliver some home truths in the lion’s den. Like you would cheer each and every blow from you favourite boxer, so we did with Galloway. Had he met Saddam many times? No more than Rumsfeld had- and for a nobler purpose. Cheering. What a ‘cavalier’ approach to justice, even in a country where standards have been falling, to find him guilty without a chance to defend himself. More cheering. The biggest cheer was when he was pressed on the issue of the illegality of selling oil in breach of UN resolutions. He was having none of this talk of illegality- what about the illegality of the war itself?
