I wonder if Red Ken Livingstone and George Galloway will now rethink their previous comments and support for this guy...

Quote:
Respect MP George Galloway described action taken against Lutfur Rahman as “a racist, Islam-hating witch hunt against the most popular and best mayor in the country”.
Galloway, a former MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, also praised the mayor’s provision of free school meals and educational maintenance allowance – a grant scrapped across the UK in 2011 – for Tower Hamlets residents.
He added: “Labour should be beating a path to mayor Lutfur’s door and asking him to sprinkle some of his stardust over them instead of expelling him, witch-hunting him and trying to drive him from office.”
Ken Livingstone also spoke in support of the mayor and expressed his hope that Rahman would run as a Labour mayoral candidate in the next election.

And to think there were those who actually voted for Ken Livingstone to run London! The mind boggles...
