George Galloway is no stranger to opprobrium, but his remarks in support of Julian Assange represent a new low even for him. That the MP for Bradford West believes the allegations of sexual assault levelled against the WikiLeaks founder to be untrue is one thing. To claim, however, that to have sex with someone who is asleep is not rape, merely "bad sexual etiquette", is shameful.

With a dismissive "these things happen", Mr Galloway is trivialising one of the more unpleasant crimes that one human being can commit against another. He is parroting the outdated view that a person's body is their own only up to a point. Worst of all, he is making it harder than ever for victims of rape to come forward.

From anyone, such arguments would be deeply flawed. From a Member of Parliament, they are unpardonable. Mr Galloway is unfit for public office.

And the people of Bratfud voted this excuse for a politician in!!!

the bloke is a retarded fuckwit

Sorry isnt a 'I'm with the person who made the intelligent comment above' emoticon

The people of Bradford are proof that certain parts of the country shouldnt have the vote, along with Wisbech and SE8

Deptford's posh now days MH! Well, kinds, in places!

I've never understood this assumption that because Assange owns a website that reveals a few government secrets that most people knew or could guess already that he is innocent of rape or sexual assault. He looks like a smug, arrogant bastard to me & should go & face his accusers if he is so convinced of his innocence. This is Sweden, defender of political correctness & human rights - not South Korea ffs.

Well said JK

Galloway is, and always has been, a fuckwit. Mind you there are hardly any British people left in Bradford so they probably didn't understand the ballot papers

There's no shortage of fuckwits in the political arena... pretty much anyone who willingly puts themselves forward for public office should be considered suspect...

but my problem isn't with the "politicos" themselves...

it's the complete fuckwits who vote for them.

take this Todd Akin idiot as an example... claims doctors have explained to him that women who are raped don't get pregnant because their bodies are biologically disposed to shut down their reproductive processes in instances of rape...

now this would be insane enough... forget the fact that he's refusing to resign and was actually 8 points ahead in the polls prior to opening his mouth...

but he's been voted in as an elected representative SIx times already... people of their own freewill have voted him into office SIX times!!!!!

it's not like he just became stupid overnight...

so for every moron who puts themselves up for election... there's hundreds or thousands of even bigger morons who actually vote them into office - those are the people we should be looking at.

George W Bush. I rest my case.

why is everyone so surprised that galloway is a cnut? always has been always will be, imho 99% of all politicians are all untrustworthy, money grabbing, power hungry cunts.

Only 99%? The Chancellor of the Exchequor estimates it as 127.5%.
