George Galloway

[anotheoldgit]

Why is George Galloway alllowed to preach his Far Left, anti White, anti British, and anti West bile on late night LBC?

This is the man that paid a visit to Iraq and shook hands with Saddam Hussein.

Last night he was blaming the 'White Man' for all of Zimbabwe's problems, and stating that we should keep out of their internal politics, while continuing to pile more money, aid, and medical supplies into this troubled land.

Would a radio station be allowed to employ a Far Right presenter?

Talksport tends to have presenters from the Right (not far right but certainly right).

I apologise for getting my radio stations mixed up I meant Talk Sport not LBC.

Thanks for your very valuable contribution to the debate, docspock.

I suppose this is the answer you give when someone asks your name even?

Not quite the same is it VHG?

Right = Conservative

Far Right = BNP.

And I don't think they would allow a member of the BNP to host a radio programme, even though it is a legal political party.

We live in a nation that allows free speech - but that doesn't mean that everyone will like the speech that is free to be given, and heard.

I agree totally, AOG. I chanced upon his poor excuse for a radio show the other night, and was amazed at the way he used his show as a platform for his own political views. Isn't Talksport the same station that suspended, then sacked James Whale for "suggesting" that Londoners should vote for Boris Johnson in the Mayoral elections? Or am I missing the point?

lesblue, you are , technically missing the point.It is that, in election time, it's against electoral and broadcasting laws and practice for any broadcaster to 'suggest' that the listeners should vote for any particular candidate The broadcasters themselves are to be neutral..This 'suggestion' was made in election time

[lesblue]

Fair point. Wrong again.
