I'm George Galloway member of parliament
anti-war leader and presenter of press
TV's comment every week at this time
answer the question we've chosen from
the many that have come in a hashtag ask
Galloway tonight it's at gender sings
question why do you think the Chilcote
inquiry has been postponed what are the
real reasons behind it well frankly you
don't have to be professor albert
einstein to work it out the Labour Party
is up to its neck in the blood that will
be revealed by the Chilcote inquiry
unless of course it's whitewash but the
Conservatives are deeply compromised too
as I said in my speech in the House of
Commons the other day the truth is that
the role of the conservative opposition
at the time was to egg on Tony Blair to
an even more urgent and even more
terrible war so there was an ironclad
consensus between the two front benches
in support of the invasion and
occupation and no dismemberment of Iraq
and given the catastrophic I mean
literally you you really could not begin
to quantify the scale of this disaster
neither of them particularly wanted the
general election campaign to be informed
by the findings of the Chilcot inquiry
or of course the backlash if the
Chilkoot inquiry turns out to be the
whitewash the previous inquiries have
been so that iron cloud consensus
continued and continues neither of them
wanted this report to see the light of
day and so john chilcot is one of the
parade of establishment flunkies that i
predicted they were when they were
appointed so if that's what their
political masters want that's what Sir
John has delivered ask Galloway hashtag
