1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:08,340
I'm George Galloway member of parliament

2
00:00:05,670 --> 00:00:10,519
anti-war leader and presenter of press

3
00:00:08,340 --> 00:00:13,290
TV's comment every week at this time

4
00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:15,960
answer the question we've chosen from

5
00:00:13,290 --> 00:00:19,220
the many that have come in a hashtag ask

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:22,529
Galloway tonight it's at gender sings

7
00:00:19,220 --> 00:00:24,990
question why do you think the Chilcote

8
00:00:22,529 --> 00:00:27,869
inquiry has been postponed what are the

9
00:00:24,990 --> 00:00:29,640
real reasons behind it well frankly you

10
00:00:27,869 --> 00:00:32,640
don't have to be professor albert

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:35,790
einstein to work it out the Labour Party

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:38,190
is up to its neck in the blood that will

13
00:00:35,790 --> 00:00:41,700
be revealed by the Chilcote inquiry

14
00:00:38,190 --> 00:00:44,070
unless of course it's whitewash but the

15
00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:46,770
Conservatives are deeply compromised too

16
00:00:44,070 --> 00:00:49,500
as I said in my speech in the House of

17
00:00:46,770 --> 00:00:50,910
Commons the other day the truth is that

18
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:54,629
the role of the conservative opposition

19
00:00:50,910 --> 00:00:57,270
at the time was to egg on Tony Blair to

20
00:00:54,629 --> 00:00:59,660
an even more urgent and even more

21
00:00:57,270 --> 00:01:02,399
terrible war so there was an ironclad

22
00:00:59,660 --> 00:01:04,379
consensus between the two front benches

23
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:07,830
in support of the invasion and

24
00:01:04,379 --> 00:01:10,439
occupation and no dismemberment of Iraq

25
00:01:07,830 --> 00:01:13,619
and given the catastrophic I mean

26
00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:16,799
literally you you really could not begin

27
00:01:13,619 --> 00:01:19,380
to quantify the scale of this disaster

28
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:22,170
neither of them particularly wanted the

29
00:01:19,380 --> 00:01:25,200
general election campaign to be informed

30
00:01:22,170 --> 00:01:27,240
by the findings of the Chilcot inquiry

31
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,189
or of course the backlash if the

32
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,380
Chilkoot inquiry turns out to be the

33
00:01:29,189 --> 00:01:34,320
whitewash the previous inquiries have

34
00:01:31,380 --> 00:01:37,530
been so that iron cloud consensus

35
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:39,810
continued and continues neither of them

36
00:01:37,530 --> 00:01:43,409
wanted this report to see the light of

37
00:01:39,810 --> 00:01:45,869
day and so john chilcot is one of the

38
00:01:43,409 --> 00:01:47,759
parade of establishment flunkies that i

39
00:01:45,869 --> 00:01:50,040
predicted they were when they were

40
00:01:47,759 --> 00:01:52,409
appointed so if that's what their

41
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:56,250
political masters want that's what Sir

42
00:01:52,409 --> 00:01:59,299
John has delivered ask Galloway hashtag
