1
00:00:01,839 --> 00:00:06,480
one thing has always been the case with

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,000
George Galloway however much the media

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:11,160
scrutinize him and pounce on any chance

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,120
to discredit him and whatever does

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,759
happen in his political career he's

6
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:17,880
always quick to bounce back it's been a

7
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:20,160
tough year for the veteran politician he

8
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,400
was attacked by a pro-israeli Jewish man

9
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,080
who was later jailed for the offense and

10
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,800
in may he lost his parliamentary seat

11
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:30,119
but he now has his eye on another mayor

12
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,040
of London well there have only been two

13
00:00:30,119 --> 00:00:33,879
s of London Ken Livingston and Boris

14
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,559
Johnson obviously I agreed with the

15
00:00:33,879 --> 00:00:38,200
first one and not the second one but

16
00:00:35,559 --> 00:00:40,680
both were people of independent mind

17
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:44,079
nobody told them what to do and they

18
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:46,360
weren't answerable to party leaders so

19
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:49,719
if you want a big independent-minded

20
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:52,079
political figure to lead London for the

21
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:54,600
next four years I believe that I'm the

22
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:57,399
most independent and I'm the biggest and

23
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,440
I'm the best at a PCT launched to his

24
00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:01,840
campaign Galloway said housing will Top

25
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,439
his agenda followed by transport and

26
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,200
policing while outside a handful of pro-

27
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:09,520
Israelis tried to make a scene for the

28
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:11,799
cameras inside anti-zionist Jews helped

29
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,400
launch the campaign when I asked

30
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:15,360
Galloway what he makes of all that has

31
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,200
been said about him he said people

32
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,880
should listen to what he has to say

33
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,720
rather than what those with vested

34
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,159
interests and Distortion say about him

35
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,079
under Boris Johnson the poor and the

36
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:28,520
working class of being pushed right to

37
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:31,040
the edge metaphorically as well as

38
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:33,560
literally uh in the the last eight years

39
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,200
London has been run by the elite for the

40
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:39,000
elite and I'm here to provide the

41
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,759
counterbalance this is a London for all

42
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,680
that we are aiming at not just those

43
00:01:40,759 --> 00:01:46,040
dripping in Gold the maral elections

44
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,600
will take place on the 5th of May

45
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,200
2016 and while the traditional political

46
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,399
parties are still whittling down their

47
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,200
short lists for a candidate George

48
00:01:52,399 --> 00:01:56,640
Galloway has already launched his

49
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,399
campaign he says he'll spend the next 11

50
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,000
months hitting the streets talking to

51
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:03,240
ordinary londoners about their concerns

52
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,119
to convince them that he should be their

53
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:10,600
pick for the next mayor of London Nas

54
00:02:06,119 --> 00:02:10,600
