Shouldn't this Scot now be banned from England?

I know this would not be possible, but he should be sacked from airing his far left views on the London based radio station, 'talk Sport'.

They sacked James Whale also Jon Gaunt so now, why not him?

Thankfully we still have a semblance of free speech here

[jake-the-peg]

Probably because the government here don't react becaue the "Jewish Defense League" pressure them.

That does seem to be the Mail's explanation for his ban doesn't it?

I mean he has to fall into one of these categories:

'(a) engaging in an act of espionage or an act of subversion against a democratic government, institution or process as they are understood in Canada;

'(b) engaging in or instigating the subversion by force of any government;

'(c) engaging in terrorism;

'(d) being a danger to the security of Canada;

'(e) engaging in acts of violence that would or might endanger the lives or safety of persons in Canada; or

'(f) being a member of an organisation that there are reasonable grounds to believe engages, has engaged or will engage in acts referred to in paragraph (a), (b) or (c).

Which is it?

Is he a spy or is he going to try to violently overthrow the Government of Canad?

And in the Blue corner we have the Facists wanting Galloway banned from everything and everywhere.

And in the Red corner we have the Commies wanting Griffin ditto.

What's this called again......? Tit for tat? Deja vu? An eye for any eye?

[jake-the-peg]

Difference is that Galloway got elected to Parliament and Griffin doesn't have a hope in hell of doing so.

Were you unsure of spelling Geert Wilders ?

[anotheoldgit]

Plenty of talk about free speech etc, but no one has remarked about those other presenters sacked from TalkSport.

Incidentally DJ Rod Lucas was also axed by TalkSport for being on that list of BNP members, even though he never aired his far right views. Whereas Galloway regularly airs his far-left views.

Strange but since the appointment of Obama I thought it's now safe to talk to your enemies because unless you do no solution is possible. You can't bomb them into submission as we have found out. Obama wants to hold talks with Iran and Blair has turned on a sixpence by talking to Hezbollah only yesterday. A pleasant change from the Bush era!

[R1Geezer]

Griffin may not be an MP but at least he hasn't stuck his tongue up Saddam Hussain's ring piece. Nearly made me throw up... " I salute you sir........." Yuk yuk and doble yuk

Tell you what though I think Canada is wrong, I defend the right of free speech including this piece of slime.

When you have free speech you have to accept that it's possble that people will say things you don't agree with.

Tell you what I bet th old sweaties where chuffed to offload this shister onto the auld enemy!

[NiceCupOfTea]

People often say things I don't agree with. How nice that you can articulate your arguments so well. Please comment rationally on the following statements.

No nation should be under the immediate reality of genocide.

The peoples of Palestine are under the immediate threat of genocide.

George Galloway wasn't even on my radar as a person until he went to that US Congressional Hearing. And boy did he do well. As a matter of fact, I'm going on youtube to try find it - a more admirable defence of free speech and a man's character I've yet to see.
