George Galloway certainly knows how to
make an appearance and when he's
standing for election it's hard not to
sit up and pay attention especially as
he travels around on his unmissable bus
with Tony Blair passed on one side and
Mr Galloway onop giving his pitch to the
people of Manchester
Gorton his pitch was unique because he
attacked the labor Party candidate
Ashville Khan and the labor party's
record in Manchester but still remains
supportive of Jeremy Corin and the labor
leadership the labor candidate who's up
against me he's part of the cck of Blair
rights that have been undermining Jeremy
Corbin right from the start that's how
he was picked as the candidate he was
picked precisely for that purpose to
reinforce the anti-c Corbin forces
inside the Parliamentary labor party so
if I'm elected I'll be sitting right
next to Jeremy Corbin if my opponent is
elected he'll be sitting behind him but
with a knife in his hand to stab him in
the
back no one in the history of
parliamentary politics has overturned a
2 24,000 majority so Mr Galloway has a
tough battle ahead but the Firebrand
politician seemed more than up for the
challenge as our team followed him to a
fiery hustings hosted by men a Muslim
advocacy and campaign group labor has
had untrammeled power in this
constituency for 50 years and what a
mess they've made of
it some feel that Galloway has a chance
especially as the labor opponent as for
Khan does not seem to have the same
support as the last Labor MP for
Manchester Gorton the late Gerald kman a
former friend of Galloway however Mr K
also seemed up for the fight people of
this city again and again vote labor and
there's a reason because we are part of
this city we work with the people we
want to make that difference we have
done so much Chang years but what we've
seen in the last seven years is year
after year cuts that is destroying our
communities it's destroying our Public
Services we want to fight that we want
to get rid of the story government and
we want to have Labor government so we
can really get this city moving again
further in the end the people of
Manchester Gorton will decide and at the
hustins many mancunians felt that
Galloway was more supportive of Jeremy
Corbin than the labor candidate and in
terms of my candidate I'm definitely
voting for George Galloway um and and
that's because he stands for all the um
the same kind of uh politics that I
stand for and about the inequalities the
racism the um
discrimination um and also as well he's
the only candidate that talks about uh
standing up for um Jeremy
Corbin ultimately as it's a general
election the odds are that people
probably vote for the party they want to
see in Westminster add to the fact that
asil Khan has a Labor financial machine
behind him as well as the 24,000 labor
majority It ultimately means it might be
too much of a tall task even for the man
that faced down the US Senate but if by
some miracle Galloway does win it'll be
the greatest parliamentary Victory ever
recorded he
