now we're joined now from college green
by the respect MP George Galloway who
doesn't want pmqs to be cancelled on
Wednesday George Galloway why not well
you've managed to assemble the only
three people in one room uh in the
entire country that think it's all right
that we're spending 10 million on the
canonization of this Wicked Woman this
woman who laid waste to Industrial
Britain to the north to Scotland to
South Wales we've already had the recall
of parliament last week with MPS being
paid up to
£3,700 to fly back from the Caribbean
holiday that they were on and then fly
back to start their holiday again for a
totally unnecessary foring over this
woman they want to cancel prime
minister's questions it's absurd right
George Galloway I mean she was prime
minister for 11 and a half years she won
three well hang on a second she won
three general elections surely she is a
big enough political figure whether you
like her or not to Merit such a ceremony
Mr Wilson won four general elections Mr
Atley totally transformed the country in
the wake of the second world war neither
of those had anything remotely like this
this tidal wave of Guff that the
country's been forced to listen to
particularly on the BBC and when they
bought ding-dong the witch is dead you
censored it as the only means they had
of expressing their own rejection
of all of this the comparison of
Margaret Thatcher with Mr Churchill is
utterly absurd we'd be conducting this
conversation in German if it was not for
Mr Churchill he saved the very existence
of this country well Mrs thata did her
best to destroy what was good about this
country and did destroy more than a
third of our manufacturing capacity
reducing us to the state we're in now
people are very angry in Britain and
it's not reflected in your studio and
it's not reflected on the BBC right but
George George Gallow you're reflecting
it very clearly and loudly time me on
week she died one week ago hundreds of
thousands of people have been following
me on social media but I never got one
invitation to speak on the BBC I think
you're fine this is this is the first
program back after the Easter break and
you're on it George Galloway so can I
just say to you those sentiments that
you have expressed all that is being
asked is is there a different time to
express those sentiments on the week the
her funeral is taking place isn't this a
time to rise above to rise above that
sort of debate and save it just for
another time but that's what people said
last Monday now it's this Monday how
long have we got to observe this fake uh
silence uh on the record of a woman who
caused such destruction in this country
wreckage m campell's a Scottish MP the
Tories were reduced to zero no MPS in
Scotland their brand is utterly
poisonous in large parts of of the north
well has said he disagreed with those
policies they lost their deposit against
me in the B elction is there a
difference just a few weeks is there a
difference George Galloway because
actually both Tessa Jal and M Campbell
have stated very clearly that they
disagreed with her policies Tessa Jal
went on marches during two of those
elections against her policies is this a
difference between the way you express
your outrage um and discussed whether it
is done in a more polite way just for
this week or whether or whether you do
it I'm just asking you or whether you do
it in the way that you've expressed it
was Mrs Thatcher polite about the miners
when she destroyed their communities
leaving them social slag heaps of
needles and crime and vice and idleness
was she polite to the steel workers when
she destroyed them to the print workers
when she destroyed them she laid waste
to this country what are you talking
spare me this sanctimony about
politeness please there are millions of
people in this country hate the very
word thater and thatcherism which
continues until this day George Galloway
I think we did try to get hold of you
actually for a program earlier but we
weren't able to but thank you for
appearing on the program today
