George Galloway speaks about the furore over an edited clip of his two hour interview with Aaron Bastani. The full interview with Novara Media can be found here: • George Galloway’s Plan...
@jimshelley8831 Even JC if he backed Brexit in 2017, he would have destroyed Theresa May. I'm pissed he didn't take GG on his offer to join forces. I will always have time for JC, but he bottled it. Just like Tottenham, ironic given his constituency has Arsenal's Ground's in it.
How pathetic and laughable is Sunak, trying to sound all statesman like and serious but he is like a sulky mummy's boy who didn't get his own way. Well done George Galloway - you stand tall WAY above these clowns.
Like previous "Prime Ministers", he's a salesman who travels periodically to Ukraine and Israel with his weapons catalog to get new sales orders.....and frequently his customers make demands of him if he wants to continue getting orders or they may takke their trade to another supplier...
I will never vote for Tories and Labour has lost my vote for life . I will vote for individuals who possess integrity and will defend our democratic values. Not those who have sold our country to Terrorists states such as Israel
Integrity like Galloway? “If you are asking did I support the Soviet Union, yes I did. Yes, I did support the Soviet Union, and I think the disappearance of the Soviet Union is the biggest catastrophe of my life.“ (George Galloway) I better do not want to know what people like you understand under "integrity"....
No, Starmer is NOT pro-Hamas. Galloway is. And he always loved brutal regimes: “If you are asking did I support the Soviet Union, yes I did. Yes, I did support the Soviet Union, and I think the disappearance of the Soviet Union is the biggest catastrophe of my life.“ (George Galloway) What an azzhole.
@@annenunney9907 There never was anything like a "Palestinian people". They are Arabs like in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq. And sadly certain radical Arabs are rabid antisemites and don't want Jews in the Middle East. The Jews lived there before Islam had even been invented!!
@@carrerau7138 Of course Starmer is not pro Hamas and if Galloway has always loved brutal regimes then surely he would be supporting Israel and their genocidal Zionist leaders. even their citizens demanding they resign over what they are doing in Gaza. If his party puts up a candidate in my constituency he's got my vote.
@@SheilaBloom. he is using the word 'normal' in the statistical context. besides I worked for a man who claimed to be gay constantly accusing others of not being 'normal'. I think it's important to differentiate between what he actually said and what some sensitive people want to hear it as.
@@justiceandlifeinlondon2888 Your problem is that you have found yourself trying to justify Mr Tw*t in Hat Galloway's words by further clarification- 'normal' in the statistical context’ & your anecdotes. Who are you, Keir Starmer?
@@SheilaBloom. Sheila you know George is right and that I am right. The meaning you want to get out of words may not represent the true meaning of those words and you know it. Some people use trends to argue against what they don't like and forget about logic completely. Some of us do not give into those trends however prevalent they may be at a specific time in history. To be honest our stances are determined by our personalities and humans seem to find anything to justify what they believe in. I try to keep a thinking head and not caring about popularity helps a lot with this task.
I really like George Galloway. He speaks the facts as they are, stands up for human rights, charismatic, and is down to earth. This is what we need in the UK.
Stands up for human rights, like anti abortion, anti gay and anti feminist. Sure, he’s right when it comes to imperialism, but that’s not a high bar for a socialist, that’s the minimum entry requirement 😑
He's also a homophobe at the worst or getting radicalised in his old age into anti-woke hokey-pokey grifting at best. He could have been a great politician if he'd had a party to help him stay relevant and train him on terminology and messaging.
Perhaps you should have watched this video too before commenting. He clearly says that just presenting that clip is the "stitch-up", not the interview itself.
@@kapitankapital6580 they put out a number of clips as a teaser to the interview, as they always do. If you watch the full interview, there is nothing unrepresentative or out of context about the clip they shared, it's a fair representation of Galloway's views, indeed of the political position he's taking with his party. He's running on an economically left and socially reactionary platform. As he is free to do, in a democracy. And others are free not to like the q333r-bashing part of his platform
@@RosemaryBeeds this is what he said: "i don't want my children prematurely sexualised" Have you got a dictionary in your house Rosemary? Perhaps you might look up the definition of bigotry.
@@carrerau7138it's a new party, just 4 years old with a MP and a handful of councillors. It took the Green party decades to achieve this. The Workers' Party does not expect to win the election but we can cut into Liebours vote and prevent them getting an overall majority. We can use this to build a bigger party that is for the working classes. Or do you think labour will make any difference bozo?
0:55 If Sunak had existed in the 1940s and there had been an uprising in a Nazi-run concentration camp, does his present behaviour suggest that he would be cheering for the guards?
@scatmann5839 When did we elect sunak ? Now before you comment some silly know the difference between the words (elect) and (select) if you’re not aware of the meaning of these words then just say it will save the embarrassment.
@@scatmann5839 Sunak has NEVER run for PM - if you look closely,you will see that MP != PM - appears similar,don't they? Do you think it is a coincidence or that it is redundant when they say X is running for PM while Y is running for MP?
@@HdHd-hp6qz Your ignorance is truly astonishing and rather embarrassing! You clearly lack a basic understanding of how UK parliamentary democracy works. We don't elect the PM in Britain. The leader of the party with the majority of seats becomes PM. He or she can be removed only by their party. Was Boris Johnson elected PM? You didn't have a problem when Theresa May, Liz Truss or indeed Johnson became PM. I guess they're the right skin colour, and that gets your approval. Get yourself educated and/or enlightened.
Yep...support homophobia, China's oppression of the Uighurs and Putin's murdering of his opponents... Deafening silence from George about the recent murder of Alexei Navalny...
I love the way the 'New Labour' candidate walked of the stage almost immediately after George Galloway started his acceptance speech. That is indicative of 'New Labour's complete contempt for the electorate of Rochdale and the democratic process.
The Labour candidate, Azhar Ali, did not even attend the count. I'm not sure who walked off the stage, possibly one of the independents, but it definitely wasn't Azhar Ali.
Ooh! You're right, of course. Azhar Ali had already been disowned by his own party. I wonder who it was wearing the 'pink' rosette on the platform. 'New Labour' had already shown their utter contempt for the democratic process. I wonder if it was the Reform Party candidate. That shouldn't surprise me.
I am going to state as a Gay man that Mr G is entitled to his views on sexuality and relationships and I respect them . The Liberals should stop accusing people of being homophobic just because others disagree with their position , it is groundless. I will probably be accused of being a self hating Gay ! The Far Left also need to cease being so pure if they seriously want to see a mass Socialist party for Working People . There should be room and respect for diverging views .
well done! as long as hes not doing hate speech or oppressing people hes allowed to think what he wants... they asked him.. hes not forcing it down other peoples throats... i believe in equality for all... all races, sexualities, religions, creeds etc.. not just the ones we choose are more worthy than others
Galloway criticized the behavior not the person doing it. But Bastani tried to misrepresent what Galloway said. Like if you criticize alcohol consumption behavior and say I don’t want my kids to be taught that drinking is the norm. Then someone claims that you said people who drink alcohol are not normal. Galloway doesn’t think that people are different types . He thinks they’re all the same but have different behaviors. And he said he would respect them even if he doesn’t identify with their behavior.
@@nisahmed9121 No-one is misrepresenting what Galloway said, anyone that has watched the full interview knows this is deeply problematic what Galloway expresses here and all the negative reaction to this he has brought on himself. Aclohol is a drug that is responsible for a significant amount of harm right across society, not at all comparable to people being gay and the stigma surrounding that. There is hard science on sexuality, we don't have to rely yet again on what some older white men think. What Galloway is arguing is that he doesn't want a nuanced understanding of the topic of drugs in society being taught. And sexuality isn't a behaviour or a choice as such, it is very clearly who a person is and what they are.
George is of the true left-I’m old enough to remember when his views were considered centre/left. We’ve shifted so far right that true Labour is now deemed Communist
The House of Lords has become a rubbish dump for the rejects of the House of Commons. Just look at the creeps who have found ther way in there, its a scandal and tarnishes wnat used to be the good name of the Lords. Can it really be true that politicians are the people most deserving of high honours, the very same politicians who have wrecked this country and sometimes other countries too?
I watched the whole 2 hours interview with Novara Media. I've seen the context. Now can I say that that the extended discussion on the matter just solidifies the views he expresses in the clip? The victimism is insane.
You watched it with blinkers on. The use of the word ‘normal’ is as ‘typical’ and the conversation about how he voted to legalise homosexuality at 16 not how Novara Media presented it. And you have also neglected the agenda outside the interview.
@@nottheandrewmarrshow @nottheandrewmarrshow Blinkers on? Aaron himself pushed back in the interview saying "it's certainly atypical, but not normal?!", but you're here explaining to me how Gallower didn't actually mean what he said multiple times.
@@nottheandrewmarrshow I have to agree with the other commenter here. You are joking surely? AB couldn't have given GG more of an out to explain that he meant typical as you claim. He literally suggested that very word in place of normal! GG did _not_ mean 'typical' - he refused that term! He meant 'Normal'. Implying that outside of that, lies the abnormal. He was quite clear. The blinkers here are very much the ones you are wearing. He had every opportunity to clarify what he meant.
@@tcgfade0ut Normal is the same as common. Homosexual relationships are not common as they are in fact a minority of relationships in society. It’s not homophobic to state that.
@@jujutrini8412 Normal _can_ mean the same as common. But either you didn't watch the interview, or you are deliberately being disingenuous. Galloway, when he asked if he meant normal as in typical, said no, he didn't. Typical means the same thing as common in this context, and he rejected that term. He therefore, did not mean 'common'. He very clearly meant gay relationships are not normal. Not 'uncommon'. Why aren't you interested in what's true? Do you owe this guy money or something? Some of you in these comments reek of a cult of personality quite frankly. It's utterly clear what he said and meant - he fucking clarified exactly what he meant! Which is why he's been doing his best to spew a load of shit about edited clips and agendas on various appearances ever since - he knows he said something he should not have. You have a choice. Be against homophobia, or excuse it, and people like this. He could be the greatest politician in the world on every other issue - and I'd give him credit for that! But it still doesn't erase the fact that he's a homophobe. And yes. You can vote for gay rights (as he has), in the past, and still be homophobic in your personal views.
I watched the full NM interview before this one, and got confused because hearing Galloway's full views on a range of issues was not a stitch up. But only sharing 1 clip in time with elections, before the agreed time, is definitely suspicious at best.
@MeleanDialogue I don't think Galloways quotes were out of context. GG is a social conservative, as are many around the country who also identify as Working Class. It's just that their view is articulated so infrequently by 'lefties' that it feels wrong. What GG did effectively - because he was given the time to do so - is to differentiate between Liberals and Working Class politics. I think the interview helps put GG in his own lane, distinct from other Parties- Labour, Greens etc. He should own it, I think.
Also Jeremy Corbin but unfortunately establishment destroy him now they want to destroy George Galloway but time is change vote only for Workers Party of George Galloway
Nah guys, c'mon, GG had 2 hours, wasn't pressured or antagonised in any way and was even offered by AB to rephrase "normal" and maintained it. No reason to be salty about it other than at himself.
Exactly. It was interesting and he came across well in some areas and not so well in others. I fear for his children if they don't follow his wishes when theh are older though. Novara gave him a lot of time.
@@samsonlovesyou I’m far more socially liberal than GG but I wouldn’t say he said anything “dangerous”. I know Christians and Muslims - and non-religious older people - who would totally agree with him and they don’t strike me as dangerous at all!
I watched the whole interview on Novara, and irrespective of Aaron Bastani's post interview opinion, George Galloway is the most honest MP in parliament. I admire the man greatly. Good luck to the Workers Party of Britain. Is about time the working class of this country had a champion. David Sullivan Artist
_"Snip",_ lol! He's got _a history_ of homophobia, transphobia and other 'phobias', and I watched the interview and I got the distinct impression his comments _were_ in context! His argument of _"I'm speaking on behalf of other parents with the same view"_ just smacks of _"we're not racists, but..."!_ 🙄 As for him blocking NM and Bastani, it's a bit hypocritical after he's complained so much about being blocked by others, himself. 🤦 There's so much that I can't stand about this fella, and I'm a "Leftie Northerner", too (just so he can't call me a fake leftist liberal, or whatever it was) however, I do like his ability to wind up the establishment, and his commitment to the people of Palestine is very highly commendable! ✊🇵🇸❤🇬🇧❤🇵🇸✊
He makes a reasonable point about what some schools wish to teach his young children. As a father I totally agree with him. Please explain the phobias you accuse him off. The interview was two Hours long. Novara chose take a snippet and use it to cause as much damage to GG as they could whilst reaping the publicity from the “controversy”. It was a fail in my opinion as I suspect it will only make him more popular.
@@yellow1one I watched all 2 hours of it and this lengthy clip contains all the context needed on this subject. He's a socially conservative man, in his own exact words and by his own admission. If a clip of him speaking uninterrupted and unprompted for more than 2 minutes is doing damage then it's pretty clear he loaded the gun himself, or at the very least it's clear this clip honestly represents his social politics. This wasn't even the most damaging bit. The man actually used the phrase "Adam & Steve" to talk about gay-parent families being inherently not as good as straight-parent families. If anything NM did the vile old chancer a favour by not just clipping that bit.
@@dadcraft9949 - I think you've missed the point. You may think he is vile, and you are entitled to feel that way, but please don't try to distort what he said. He said himself that he voted to allow same-sex marriage. He is in favour of same-sex adoption and families. He treats his gay friends and employees with the same respect and affection as he does with anyone else. He does not care what people do in the privacy of their own bedrooms. But he does have an objection to the premature sexualisation of his young children within schools. In particular, being taught that traditional families are the same same-sex couples. They are not the same, for the overwhelming majority of people on this planet. If holding an opinion contrary to yours is justification for you to label some as 'vile old chancer', I think it is you who ought to consider your own intolerance as the problem here.
@@yellow1one thats such a great cope , you would not allow that to be used by anyone else , take for example trump who after making disugsuting comments about black people or mexican people would make the same excuses you just did for this man , yes he votes for gay marriage and treats them kind , but that talk is still what fuels the discrimantion they face lol , or lets see him say i think muslims people should be treated good and fair , but women in hijab are not normal , not that i hate them i love them but very weird women , yeah this is why the left are a joke , they cant even stand up for good principles and want others on the right to change lol
@@yellow1one pretend all you want that he's the level-headed gender-critical-but-pro-LGBT walking contradiction you think he is, but the fact of the matter is he literally said "I'm gay friendly I just don't want my kids to be taught that it is the same for you to decide that you are are uh going to take the direction of Adam and Steve when the norm and the most happy and the most stable basis for society is Mom Dad and the kids". Those are his exact unprompted words. He describes homosexual lifestyles as a matter of choice and as _factually_ inferior to and less stable than heterosexual ones. Those are positions not supported by evidence, as is the case with the majority of bigoted opinions. So, he promises to maintain a voting record contrary to his stated beliefs, is the most sympathetic take possible. Which I would stomach. I'm not even objecting to that. I'm objecting to the idea that he can publicly express that gays are worth less than straights and have that not count as homophobia just because he was polite.
I have to say Crispin that you have stood up for the traditional left when so many on the left either haven't done so or worse have attacked people like George who have, against all odds, worked themselves and the left wing as a whole into a position to facilitate the sort of change we desperately need. Many thanks. There are squatters on the left that damn well need removing from it if real social and political change are to be achieved in this country and Novara Media is a very good place to start.
Wouldn't it be better to build upon any common ground that exists (like solidarity for Palestine) rather than shunning each other and weakening important coalitions?
@@eemoogee160 No. Novara, Owen Jones + James o'brien are controlled opposition. They play to a left audience enough for the audience to buy their books + keep their establishment jobs but when a Socialist politician comes along these so-called 'left' help to cut off their legs
Goerge and jeremy will make a great pm and deputy pm together and i do hope jeremy will jump labour's ship and join the workers party and go all the way with goerge..
@@moldyolddough1 Exactly. George is a loose cannon with far too many opinions that Corbyn would almost certainly find offensive. I for one hope he stands as an independent so he would be unfettered by party allegiances.
The full interview is excellent and worth viewing. GG has specific beliefs driven by his Roman Catholic faith and which he has always stood by so this is not new news. He also accepts all and has won awards for his stance on supporting many issues including gay rights so its a cheap and understandable shot by the establishment because they are in a panic on his growing support from a variety of groups.
The Catholic faith was an excuse for many in Southern Germany in the late 1930s & the catholic church never excommunicated one of them. But recently tried to Stop Nancy Pelosi from having communion for standing up for a woman's right to choose
Really I saw the edited clip and the full interview. I found the full interview very eye opening, he laid bare his religious hypocrisy. He doesn’t let his religious beliefs affect his voting on public policies unless he doesn’t like them lol
@@nickygriffiths605 The media is on all kinds of cultural flavors out of California, asks all kinds of qestions that don't got much to do about anything pocketbook which is where the rubber hits the road. Galloway seems to always talk about stuff that really matters unless he is asked about these tangential questions where I don't really give a flying fuck how he answers them.
@@urrywest his religious beliefs and why he would make public policies around his religious beliefs are cultural flavours out of California? Look I get your desperate to play the culture war game in your/his defence but you see how it doesn’t apply right?.

I've been a lifelong Labour voter, Wont lie I couldn't stand Ed Miliband the stunt on his brother was just disgusting, he was doomed from the start, then he did the Tories dirty work in Scotland and expected no push back. But the final straw Labour keep tweeting about "here for working people", What about people born disabled? OAP's? people with long covid Jess Philips can say trust needs to be built with the Muslim voters, Right now it feels if you are any of the above mentioned groups Labour dont want you. There's this hubris about them that long term voters will stick with them *worked out well in Scotland didn't it Ed, They had a shadow Minister on BBC earlier this week she was like Rishi Sunak no idea PIP is paid to disabled people IN WORK, the presenter had to tell her 3 times that was the case, Why in god's name would a disabled person vote for them when they are openly boasting about being harder than the tories. It really is Turkeys voting for Christmas, You point this out on social media and the abuse coming back is worse than I get from the Far right, they love to use a certain word then block. Keir Starmer has been offered a good deal with Macron 2nd tier allow free movement of trade and services stop the stupid delays people face, what did he say? No within an hour. I swear people might as well vote Tory because so far nothing will change and it sickens me even having to say that.
_"because so far nothing will change"_ It will; they'll have RED ties after the GE! 🤬 I completely agree with everything you've written there, brother! I've been a Labour supporter since '88 and I'm _still_ waiting for some semblance of actual social democracy! 👍✊
No one mentions the unemployed any more as if we don't exist... and this criticism applies to left wing channels where it just gets talked over as we have "full employment"
AOC gave a great reply to the equivalent challenge US voters face; Trump or the genocide supporter? She said vote Biden because it will be easier to fight under Biden. Trump will end democracy. I think it’s the same here. I don’t believe in staying silent to get Labour elected and I had to hold my nose voting last week, but if the Tories get in again they will continue to dismantle democracy and the welfare state. My biggest fear is a Labour Govt pushing an austerity agenda and that paving the way to fascism. We need to keep the pressure on to make Starmer go back to his original pledges and to end the genocide in Gaza.
@@celienat9369 he did. He said gay relationships are not normal. I know some Galloway bootlickers are finding a distinction between ‘gay people aren’t normal’ and ‘gay relationships aren’t normal’, but what’s the difference exactly? If a relationship isn’t normal and the fact that it’s a same sex relationship is the reason, the ergo the people having that relationship are the reason it isn’t normal. Normal is a pejorative, and if you don’t think so you’re being wilfully blind. I have long supported Galloway and always defended him against accusations of homophobia, but this is totally beyond the pale. And far from NM stitching him up, bastani tried to give him an out by saying do you mean typical - which is factual and accurate, as gay people are a minority - but Galloway doubled down and said no I mean normal. He doesn’t fall into the category of Williamson or Corbyn, whose comments were twisted with total mendacity to undermine and marginalise them; GG said what he said and it’s highly instructive to watch the whole thing, because his case is not only offensive, it’s utterly illiterate - he voted for same sex marriage and same sex adoption but he wants it taught that neither are normal? WTAF?
@@celienat9369no. He did. He might be right. He might be factually right but insensitive, or he could be wrong. But he said it. Georgie, Where's yer trousers?
Because most Novara viewers, such as myself, like GG. The interview wasn't a stitch up, he answered the questions on gay people poorly but I'd still vote for him over any Tory or Labour politicians. Why are all GG supporters crying about him getting asked a tough question amongst about ten easy ones?
@@santinopaone-hoyland watch the vid that gg said about it.. they lied and released it early to try to screw over his results in the election.. or something like that...
The intro was cringe worthy, they should stop trying to appease the type of left wing person that can't handle hearing opposing views. That's why they do it.
I've been worried for a while that division between the socially conservative left and the socially liberal left is going to hinder any effective left wing opposition to the Labour/Tory uniparty.
This has also been an abiding concern of mine. I get the impression that the older TERF anti-NATO socialists (like me) are far more willing to agree to disagree on social issues & concentrate on the economics than the younger progressives. There's a difference between having similar values & having the same opinions.
@@camdencobain1460I've recognised it's mainly the young left which take issue with Galloway purely on sexuality/gender issues when there are far more important issues
George Galloway is the UK national treasure! A breath of fresh air to such immorality/ rot that is pervasive in UK politics. I was sad to hear Novara taking advantage to smear George. We all have our personal opinions - George might have been more discreet in voicing his publicly. But Novara crossed a red line themselves by trying to smear the only rationale political voice in the UK for their own personal interests. Poor judgment on both sides
Message to everyone - Surfacing strongly help beliefs of individuals who are seeking our vote and wishing to represent us is not a smear if these views are found to be offensive or reprehensible...
.....that would be fine if it was actually true. Novara gave him two hours unedited to express his views, not only did he express his views but he doubled down on them despite being given several off ramps. I like George Galloway and would vote for his Party, but he does love scoring an own goal and always has.
Don't agree with Galloway on some things but he and his party will get my vote. No other party represents working people, fully supports the Palestinian people and is anti war and anti imperialism. Aaron Bastani is a weak liberal, and liberal politics in these dire times is insufficient.
Also his weakness comes from liking Galloway but then denying liking him to appease his gay co founder and gay presenters. What is worst that no one seem to mention is the fact bastani and novara broke a deal of not showing any clips of interview before the election..and what did they do??? They show it a day before election when all negative headlines were against George. That is devious!!! They wanted to destroy his chances in local election and cash in from 50 second video out of 2 hour long interview. I lost respect for them. I watched them for over 9 years. When they presenting was still amateurish and new in the field.
@@mojo2679 You are absolutely correct. But in fact it is worse than that. In troubled and economically insecure times, the liberal class has ALWAYS ended up supporting fascist parties. Fearing political instability and the loss of their wealth and privileges, liberals will eventually side not with those seeking to overthrow oppressive governments, but instead with authoritarian parties who will use draconian measures and fear to impose order and return society to the quiescent state it was previously in.
Cracking interview by Bastani. In the interview George did say that they are not normal and are not equal. Bastani tried to help him clarify saying you mean they're not typical? and Galloway said no I mean they are not normal. Spin it all you like George but thats what you said.
I agree with George Galloway on his Palestine stance and support. I also understand his discomfort with his children learning something he doesn’t agree with. However, children are a different generation and live in a different world than their parents. Therefore, parents may invariably not like certain things their children learn. They need to accept that. I too did things my parents didn’t agree with, but I refused to give my parents agency over me to that extent. As for his views on the traditional family, what’s his stance on divorced patchwork families? That’s a reality in large parts of western society. How does he reconcile with that?
This is a minor problemm Arent 600.000 dead young Ukrainians and who knows how many dead moms and children in Palestine more important. His personal family history is his problem. And what they cut is he voted for gay rights to marry.
George...I listened to the whole interview...only recently.. not having heard all the gossip and slurs. ... you were tremendous...very clear and honest...re families etc..i didn't hear any homophobic rhetoric coming out of your mouth . .. Look forward to the general election... hopefully you have got south London covered with candidates.... v v best dc
I think the difference is that GG is being criticised for what he actually said (this video actually confirms his views) whereas Williamson, Livingston, Wandsworth and Corbyn were criticised for a dishonestly-skewed alternative version of what they said. Also GG is not so naive to think NM would not tease the most click-baity section of the interview- it’s what they always do.
I haven't trusted them for a long time. They need to apologise to a few people before I'll start taking them seriously, if at all. It's a separate issue though with what GG said. It's his words I have trouble with, irrespective of what NM did with them@@scatmann5839
@@scatmann5839 I haven't trusted NM for a long time - they have to apologise to a few people before I'd even consider it. My issue with what GG said though is his actual words, not what NM did with them.
Well, that's obvious. You are an admire of Jordan Peterson, you're socially conservative. Of course George Galloway's homophobic and transphobic comments are completely acceptable to you. If anything, discriminatory speech against gays and trans is something that makes a politician more attractive to you.
So you will vote for him blindly? Okay. I like to hear what politicians have to say and to defend themselves before voting for them. But yes, you're probably more typical in a country that would vote Boris Johnson as PM so maybe it's me who's out of step here.
I have just joined the workers party because George is the best hope in the world of politics at the moment. For £5 and 5 minutes of my time I am joining the right side of history.
Oh I see! Like most people I agree with a lot of what George says and disagrees with other things he says. BUT on the whole I think George is Right! It would be ODD if I agreed with everything someone says!
@@SheilaBloom. Yeah, bigoted. Having strong unreasonable beliefs. Like thinking gay people are not normal cause your imaginary god created two imaginary people.
‘Let me be clear about something. I was a pioneer of Gay Rights in the British Parliament long before ‘rainbows’ were prevalent, And long before many of them now waving them were prepared to touch the issue. I love gay people, some of my best friends and colleagues, over many years, have been gay. I have had gay people living in my house with me over many years. So nothing I am about to say is in any sense sourced in any kind of homophobia from me. I believe that everyone’s personal behaviour is their own business.

LBC whacks anyone that steps over the line. They've some good presenters and some middle of the road ones. I've warmed to Nick Ferrari as he really is an excellent broadcaster with a sense of humour. I loathe the odious James O'Brien who is like a windsock, a bullying windsock. Not keen on Carol Vorderman, she'd switch back to being Tory in the blink of an eye if it buttered her toast. Sad that Sangita Myska was whacked and Maajid Nawaz too. It'd be great if there was a radio station that covered a wide spectrum, and robustly and honestly challenged narratives. Haven't listened to Nick Abbot for ages but he's bang on point more often than not. Maybe you can get Sangita on for an interview?
@@arandorapress7561 I agree, they got rid of another his first name was Stephen, forgotten his second name. He was gay, like Ian Dale, but what the hell did he do wrong. He was on at 4am in the morning. This is a real shit station, and I am taking all my complaints to telecommunication. Ian Dale, James O'Brien and nick abbot seem to run this shit station.
@@ZER0-- Yes, but when they talk over a person who is giving their view, and then just cut you off from speaking, because they don't agree, and block you from getting on the air, that's not on. Not only is it rudeness by the presenter, but from the whole station. And many try times, they said I am the next person on, then another two or three come, then they just cut you off. They have done this lots of times, and they have blocked me, and many other people, many many times. If they don't like your, view, they just block you.
I am a homosexual man, and I'm in support of Galloway, there are far more important issues facing our society than children finding out that homosexuality is normal or not, and that transmen and women are real men and women or not, these matters pale in comparison with our foreign affairs, with racism, with taxes and wages, with rights of the working force which I'm a proud part of. Also Galloway has always been an ally when it came to LGBT's civil rights. He voted in favour of our rights time and time again. Please remember that.
Galloway was speaking about family structure. Remember in Ireland we just had a referendum where the Irish government was trying to include 'durable relationships' in the Irish constitution. Example 1. A couple married for decades, man has affair, man dies. Then mistress entitled to equal share of man's estate. 2. Islam allows men to have 4 wives. Muslim man gains Irish citizenship. Then brings 4 wives +all his children to Ireland. Former Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Dr. Garrett Fitzgerald who battled Thatcher said the Christian structure of family was the best for society. Not perfect, but best outcomes.
Sunak obviously rattled that so few voted for the Tory-Labour-Alliace AKA "The UniParty" AKA "WEF Party" AKA "Twin Cheeks Party". Sunak wouldn't have been out with his Downing St Micro Lectern if Labour won Rochdale. The Establishment Regime expects us to elect one of its 2 approved candidates!
To be a politician, all you need to do, is swear an oath of loyalty to the lobbyist and donors, support Israel without question and have total contempt for the people ~ unless you’re George Galloway
I listened to the entire Novara interview. It was insightful and enjoyable. George Galloway emerged as an interesting, experienced, and thoughtful person despite my disagreeing with his religious and environmental views.
I'm not sure anyone stiched GG up. He willingly agreed to the interview, and he then volunteered the information that came out. GG's opined about his views on LBGTQ issues, and Bastani then moved along that line of questioning. If GG did not want these views aired, he should have been more circumspect. He is an extremely well versed politician and admits during the interview that everything he says is 'on the record'. Also, of course they will promote an interview scoop. All the downstream interviews are promoted on Novara, as any media organisation does. They can't be responsible for how others report this. GG has many good policies, but I would not vote for someone with his social and climate views.
The point galloway made was when it was aired. Not what he said per se. Bastani and novara were asked not to air the interview before local election. They promised to him they will not do it. What did they do? They have aired a small part of it just a day before the local election. Dont know about you but breaking a promise is evil and that was devious. If they did not agree they could have negotiated with the interviewee, Galloway. They didn't. This is my take away and i am disgusted.
Maybe if GG didn't want the interview aired before the elections, he should have given it afterwards. It would not have mattered then. I'm not sure it made much of a difference anyway, as his party did pretty good in them. We don't know what agreement was made between GG and Novara on the release of any clips, but Novara are a media organisation, and they will promote a controversial interview as would GG for his MOATS show. Don't get me wrong, there's lots I disagree with Novara on, but GG needs to own his comments and how they would be perceived by a great many people. He likes to talk about his Catholicism, but omits that getting divorced and remarried is against RC teaching, even once, and GG has done it several times.
First Novara, then Lewis Goodall. "We're always fair on LBC" he says... except to Sangita Myska, obviously. Culture war clownery and ambush journalism is all they've got. No doubt Goodall's self serving Blairite wife put him up to it. You've got them running scared, George. Keep going, we're all behind you
I compleatly disagree that if it was more hip to be gay, the human race would cease to exist.... I just think most of us would be uncomfortable and might not procreate as well...
@@urrywest Basanti has twisted what GG said and it been misunderstood. Basanti focus on that issue, there a bigger issue here GG and his party standing in the way of the Genocide enablers in parliament. On a personal note my father shared gg views. I have a gay cousin who my father was very fond of. Always listen to under stand
@@lucyhenery2356 I am not sure there is anything you can do about people being gay/streight. I feel like more people are streight and when that is normalized, people feel more comfortable.
I watched the whole interview. It was clear what he said and he was given ample opportunity to elaborate and clarify exactly what he meant. He repeatedly said “normal” in a way that clearly implies that homosexual marriages are not normal. Bastion tries to help him by suggesting words like “typical” as a synonym and he rejected them, knowing full well what he was doing and saying. His claim that this is a matter of working class semantics is pathetic. He’s a bright guy and a great orator. We are what we are. He clearly retains some social conservative views that clash with his more liberal outlook in some areas. Or he’s grifting to his constituents. The “some if my mates are gay” doesn’t wash in the same way it doesn’t for race. George reminds me of some of my dad’s co workers in the printing factory (big up printers union). All left wing until it came to gays and “coloureds”. When they were suddenly bigoted and full of hate.
Starmer is atrocious as is Sunak who couldn't care less about the Working class British Public .Independant candidates and proportional representation are the answer. Mind you a large percentage of the public would have issues understanding how to vote. Schools are for teaching reading , English , Maths , History , Geography ,Sciences.Parents have a say here .George is matter of fact and down to earth but fresh air .Shame on Novara Media
AB gave GG plenty of opportunities to define or qualify “normal” in that section of the interview. The clip in no way misrepresents the views that GG proposed in the fuller, broadcast version - it is, in fact a pretty good summation of his position. That’s what trailers do. Get over it!
He clarifies his use of the word ‘normal’ as typical. That’s not the clickbait meaning that Novara put out though, is it? So is peddling a false homophobic quote what you’d call quality journalism?
@@nottheandrewmarrshow No no - he was given a chance by Aaron to say "typical" and explicitly chose not to. Stop gas lighting us! he is just trying to pull a Starmer now and claiming he never said what we all heard.
@@nottheandrewmarrshow user ck is 100% right. You do a lot of good work at NTAMS, but not this time. GG, as always, chose his words very carefully and guess what? Some people disagreed. Again I say, get over it!
Mr. Galloway is a breath of fresh air.He expresses his opinion and belief. He may not represent all, but I believe that he certainly represents the vast majority. Mr. Bastani may, by his disingenuous behaviour, cost himself dearly whilst at the same time, elevating G.G amongst the masses.
I despise bastani now. I really really liked him. I watched tsky sour for years. They were also awful about Russell brand as well. They went all hog with the hate band wagon when he was accused by faceless women. They did not even tey to play the devil's advocate. I lost respect that day. But i still liked bastani. I now feel terrible even watching them. They agreed with Galloway abd promised him that the interview was going to air after local election. Then they decide to cut the bits galloway says children shouldn't be sexualised at such young age. Then he answers to bastani why he thinks it is wrong. He said kids ahould be able to learn what a normal family is made of such as father and mother. Gay and trans came from a father and a mother. A trans did not come from two trans men or women. So he used the word normal to differentiate that. Also why pick on the only true hardworking anti war and anti gino side guy that has all the media against him including all uk parties and prime minister??? I now think novara are fake. They dont care abput g@ -za as the hatched job against Galloway by bastani was to help labour. George avaoid them like the plague from now on. They dont care about pal esti ne. Their channel grew 400k since gino side began. They benefited from the gino side as a channel due to their growth. But they are just fake! I watch them bit due to extreme promotions of all the gender issues i did not subscribe but i always give them a like on issues of g@ za. No more!
@@zamzamahmed8139 Qwen Jones is the same as NM. Exploiting the gen oh side for likes and subs. GG is the real deal and this scares the fake leftists n libs
I like GG and also think Novara do a good job. I dont think it was a deliberate set up job, they were just surprised by his vastly different views despite being on the left
How could they be surprised about GGs stances on things? that's ridiculous to claim as he's not hidden them. Imo they simply don't like his views on homosexuality and trans/gender issues and can't quite grasp those are trivial issues for a lot of people
It was an attempted setup job - they just failed in their ambush attempt. Why elese do you think Aaron's sole obsession was LGBTQ+ ? Do you think in May 2024 LGBTQ+ is the hot issue? Why was he not as much interested in Gaza and Ukraine? Those 2 are the HOTTEST issues today.
@@keithparker1346 Inequality, in this case explicitly stating that any group from society is not equal to another, simply because of their sexuality, is _not_ a trivial issue.
So, no response from NM as to apologise for 'mis timing' the publication against the 'understanding', that's my issue. Galloway has been speaking for donkeys years, he's an open book and an interesting one with strong knowledge and considerable honesty. Im hard pushed to find another politician of that calibre.
Smear or just reporting accurately something important of interest to their viewers. Maybe don’t shoot the messenger, George said what he said and everyone needs to own it or otherwise.
I used to support them but i wont put likes for them. They are very much in support of lgbt men and women and they have become like any other media now that they are successful. It is sad how they laugh and joke about Galloway. Even during the attempt in Spen by election they were ridiculing his views. So i dont understand why he gave them.an interview. Bit then after we saw what itv dumb and dumber put him through he must have thought this youtube news channel at NM is seen by more people so let me go there and give a serious interview
@@TomMAF4 Let's say try to conflate his own private preferences for his children in their school experience with his public voting record as a politician. He was clear about the difference, but the host tried to "get him" on the contradiction that was no contradiction. As a parent George has every right to say what his children as minors are exposed to. As a politician he is dealing with the rights of fully grown adults. They were trying to smear his political character to conflate those two issues.

Love the fact that Kier goes out saying that they won't tolerate people suggesting that antisemitism in the labour party was exaggerated... despite the report he commissioned concluded exactly that.. and this guy has kicked out more Jewish members than any other leader..
It’s ridiculous and a desperate attempt to stop the Working Party and it’s message . How many times does GG have to say there is a difference between teaching /forming children and adults ? How many times has GG said he has no beef with LGBT people and does not believe they should be discriminated against or disrespected. Sadly Novara Media has been showing their mask of late.
In the full interview GG outright says the gays aren’t normal. AB tries to correct him asking if he means not typical as then he would agree with what was being said. GG then emphasised he meant not normal. This is GG’s own doing and he should just apologise for getting muddled in the interview, as he is clearly walking back on it now anyway.
@@garycannon2887 The word normal has multiple definitions . I would argue the most commonly used dictionary definition is meaning the average ,the standard or the default . Homosexuality bisexuality transgenderism is not the norm by any metric of measure . That is simply factual. Normal does not usually by itself have a value judgement attached . Yes unfortunately there are many folks who want to use normal to include a value judgement of good or preferred. If someone says that it is normal that human beings engage in war which is true I would certainly not assume they mean war is good or better than peace .
@@garycannon2887I see because they're equating normal with "good/acceptable" - but that's not what normal means. Normal is not a moral judgment, it's just the default state of being, the most common. People are misunderstanding that big time because they, as most of us subconsciously do (though it's ironic to see the more progressive left take this view), view normal as good and not normal as bad. It is not good or bad to be heterosexual, but that is what is normal. Again it's not a moral judgement, but the most common state of being - the one that is most likely to be the answer if you guess what someone is at random.
Few things about the interview. No.1. The vast majority of it was perfect. No.2. It was spun to be a completely homophobic rant. It wasn't No.3. George was very supportive of the gay community generally in the interview No. 4. I heard a straight opinion on a very divisive subject that attracks strong opinions on both sides. Like it or loath his opinion, at least we know it. For any MP that rants at him over this, lets hear THEIR opinion. Lets watch THEM skirt around it and attempt to appease everyone by naff triangulation of a nothing subject in the grand scheme of things.
Agreed. I don't get why people think they must agree 100% with people like GG when the most important thing is to get the tories out and at least shackle labour rather than once again rewarding liars with our votes and a massive majority.
He literally said homosexual was not normal, he was given the out of saying "not typical" but doubled down. The man is right on a few things but he is a nasty right winger on many others. Oh and he has previously admitted to voting Tory in 2019 iirc.
No they didn't . I have a lot of criticism of NM especially over anti- semitism in the Labour Party . But this was George being honest and honestly wrong . That's all .
Nope, he was honestly right. Now, off to woke island with you before the majority of the population contaminate your feelings. And ....I suspect you, in actuality, have little criticism for Novara at all.
