More on George Galloway

It seems that George Galloway is busy enjoying the Telegraph’s discomfiture. And, going by this article, so is the Sunday Times. Clearly this newspaper doesn’t share its rival’s opinion that the judgement was a black day for journalism. In the true spirit of no honour among thieves, the Sunday Times is making the most of the copy that the Telegraph’s costly mistake has provided. As George put it:

“That is 5% of the company’s annual profit, just pissed away!”

I’m amused to see that when referring to George Galloway’s successes as a litigant, the Sunday Times likens him to the Red Baron – not our dear Red Baron I presume.

Anyway, it looks like George is on a roll. He plans to expose those he claims knew that the allegations were false and use parliamentary privilege to do so. Not only that, he is considering legal action against the erstwhile owner of the Telegraph, Lord Black and editor, Charles Moore. All the while claiming conspiracy.

He is also planning to contest the Bethnal Green seat at the next election. Given the high proportion of anti-war Muslims in the constituency, the Times concludes that he has a fair chance of winning it.

George, is predictably, larger than life and where would political life be without the George Galloways of this world?
