"She says his supporters are running a racist campaign; he says she's running a corrupt campaign. She has eggs and rotten vegetables pelted at her at a Jewish memorial service; he says he's just successfully sued her for the second time. She says she wouldn't trust him to deliver a pizza; he says she's no more than a cog in a machine. Tariq Ali calls her a "warmonger", while Cherie Blair urges voters to "give Galloway a bloody nose"."



"TALK of administering †œa bloody noseââ‚ ¬Ã‚ÂÂÂ� to oneââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s political opponents is not the kind of language expected from the wife of the Prime Minister. But Cherie Blair has urged loyal Labour supporters to do just that to George Galloway, one of her husbandââ‚à ‚¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s fiercest critics over the war in Iraq.

"Mrs Blair appeared to lose her cool while addressing an audience of 100 party members at a £25-per-head fundraising reception for Oona King, defending Bethnal Green & Bow for Labour. "

[...]

"Labour is worried and Mrs Blair is just the latest big gun †â€ÂÂÂ� after Gordon Brown, John Prescott and Charles Clarke †â€ÂÂÂ� to appear with Ms King. In her speech Mrs Blair went on to attack the media because they could not be relied on to †œdeliver the partyââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s messageââ‚à ‚¬Ã‚ÂÂÂ�."

Do you really think that Labour were wheeling out the Big Guns (including the PM's *wife*!!) to support Oona King? Or were they just terrified that they'd suffer an embarassing defeat by Galloway and were doing their damndest to stop it by any means available?

You think it's pedantic nit picking when you are unable to substanciate your claim that the labour party have been attacking Galloway?
Personally I just call it asking for actual evidence, which again you've failed to provide.
None of the above show that the Labour party attacked him, in fact his comments directed about Oona herself by Galloway were rather unpleaseant.
So either retract your statement or show us some evidence that the Labour party attacked George Galloway.

Oh and "no witnesses"? In which case I think "presumed innocent until proven guilty" comes to mind.

I suppose those wounds were self inflicted then?
