Re: George Galloway is to be banned from Canada.
 
But this just draws attention to his odious views.

People like him love it when they get 'banned' - generates loads of free publicity, massages their fragile egos, makes people think that their opinions have some kind of substance.

They should have just allowed him in so he could be ignored by everybody.

I agree cookie but what we have here it seems is a government that has decided it doesn't want him spouting off his rubbish and as a sovereign state funnily enough they have that right. Personally i think it is people like george galloway that make it easy for certain governments to curtail free speech and erode that right for all of us who are able to state our views without offending a great majority while doing it unlike pea brains like george.

I agree that they have the right to do that. I just don't think it's very smart of them to exercise that right in this case.

We should send him on a goodwill visit to Afghanistan to visit the troops ( Canadians only ) and see if he returns.

I just got this straight from the horses, or should I say pussy's mouth;) Surprise, surprise Galloway is going "to use all means at my disposal" to challenge this decision.
Beware Canada Galloway has a reputation for being a very litigious man.:)

He probably thinks that he can overrule a sovereign government decision and if he did win his case I do not think he would get past customs as they would find some means to deport him.[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

I don't doubt it, this guy is so filled with self importance he probably believes he can overturn the Canadian governments decision.
Surprising really for a man who's well known for his disapproval of America that his comfortable pocketing greenbacks on the lecture tour over there, I seem to remember him aiming his vitriol at Tony Blair for the self same thing.
But I'm sure he can turn his greatest skill, his mouth, to explain to us why its OK for him to stuff his pockets, but not Blair.

Just noticed my 1000th post - I should really have waited and made it a good one. If Russ B stops posting I should catch him shortly before my 80th birthday.

Don't worry about that mate, after all quality will always count over quantity lol. ;)

Shocker george is going the legal route who didn't see that coming he really needs to get over himself and realise he is not someone who is worth that much to 99% of people.
