EXCLUSIVE: ATS Interview With George Galloway

Infinite, I'm embarassed to admit that I don't know who the guy is. I think I've heard the name, but that's about it.

Obviously though, he must be much more well known in the UK. Regardless, I don't know how you, or anyone does it - get a person who is a political figure, a see-er, someone well-known but controversial, etc....to just agree to answer questions. You really have a knack with people.

The interview was great, whether I knew who he was or not.

Respect Infinite.....sterling work old chap!

Great work Infinite! This kind of stuff makes ats even more interesting than it already is. Way above vote from me to you too

Well, you've given us one viewpoint on several issues and I might add, you've done it brillantly, now get an interview with someone who'll give us an alternative viewpoint on the same issues.

Got one from a leading conservative, just need to get permission to place it on the site and get a few more questions answered and I'll have it up for you. I posted the guys info above.

George Galloway
There is clearly a huge body of people there who feel totally disenfranchised by the system and I think I was able to give voice to them, if only temporarily.

An articulate and intelligent man who is willing to make a stand against ridiculous accusations from a country which is throwing stones from its opaque glass house.

An excellent, albeit, short interview.

If his vision is a bad thing then logically speaking you should be in support of people living in poverty, every one (including criminals of all seriousness) having access to firearms and racial abuse.

Well obviously we should all aspire to your vision

Either you understand personal freedom, or you're British.

Freedom of speach and the right to keep and bear firearms are cornerstones of American rights. While I may not agree with what you say, I will always support your right to say it.

Mr.Galloway would throw you in jail. To me the guy is a vile little socialist, and much akin to something very unpleasant that I occasionally tread in.

How would Galloway throw me in jail?

Also having the right to bear arms requires a massive leap of faith when it comes to the ability of man. Giving every man the right to bear arms is assuming that every man is capable of such responsibilty.

If you have that much confidence in the collective responsibilty of humans then so be it. I, however, do not.

After his tour in America, do you all think we should try and get him as a guest speaker or something?

Does any one have his email?

[email protected]

it took me a while to get him to respond, so if you are contecting him at his parilament e-mail, i wouldnt expect a reply. I went through his political party to get to him

If you make a racial comment in Mr.Galloway's Britain, you go to jail - that does not constitute free speach in my book. Hence my comment about not necessarily agreeing with what you say, but supporting your right to say it.

As for firearms ownership and "trusting" people to own guns. I trust the people far more than I would trust any government, and remember that if it weren't for people owning guns and standing up to a unjust government, you wouldn't be typing in this forum, because the USA would not exist in its current form. And which gun hating nation did we happen to overcome to achieve those freedoms, why of course it was the UK ! How ironic n'est ce pa ? There are 2 million legal uses of privately owned firearms in the US each year to defend the life of the owner or their immediate family, 97% do not result in the discharge of any weapon. Four years ago, the wife of a close friend of ours was one of those people. Would YOU like to tell her that she can't be trusted to have a gun any longer, and that next time she'll just have to die for the good of society.

You should also understand that all socialists hate the USA, and you can have little doubt that once Mr.Galloway got through munching on his last free USDA steak and took the last pat on the back from some stupid Congressman, he would have got right back into form criticizing those "stupid, fat, war loving Americans".

Watching America pander to the likes of Galloway is like watching a child enjoy the attention it is getting from a pedophile.
