here on DU you'll find 2 distinct worlds 'upstairs Galloway is well remembered for the 'talking to' he gave Norm Coleman a few years back here he is an enemy much the same with Desmond Tutu and Jimmy Carter they are admired elsewhere on DU for their humanitarian work and it has little to do with I/P here nothing but matters and from some of what I've read you would think they are supremacists of some sort

Do not be surprised to see it claimed in the press that Galloway's win proves that the UK is an antisemitic country cowtowing to its Muslim minority or some such
