1
00:00:02,159 --> 00:00:05,799
George Galloway certainly knows how to

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,720
make an appearance and when he's

3
00:00:05,799 --> 00:00:10,080
standing for election it's hard not to

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:12,759
sit up and pay attention especially as

5
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:15,080
he travels around on his unmissable bus

6
00:00:12,759 --> 00:00:17,760
with Tony Blair passed on one side and

7
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,400
Mr Galloway onop giving his pitch to the

8
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,199
people of Manchester

9
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:24,039
Gorton his pitch was unique because he

10
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:26,240
attacked the labor Party candidate

11
00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:28,560
Ashville Khan and the labor party's

12
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:30,840
record in Manchester but still remains

13
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,040
supportive of Jeremy Corin and the labor

14
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:37,239
leadership the labor candidate who's up

15
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:39,680
against me he's part of the cck of Blair

16
00:00:37,239 --> 00:00:41,800
rights that have been undermining Jeremy

17
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,399
Corbin right from the start that's how

18
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,960
he was picked as the candidate he was

19
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:50,120
picked precisely for that purpose to

20
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:53,359
reinforce the anti-c Corbin forces

21
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:55,480
inside the Parliamentary labor party so

22
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:58,519
if I'm elected I'll be sitting right

23
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:00,920
next to Jeremy Corbin if my opponent is

24
00:00:58,519 --> 00:01:03,079
elected he'll be sitting behind him but

25
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,799
with a knife in his hand to stab him in

26
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:05,720
the

27
00:01:03,799 --> 00:01:07,759
back no one in the history of

28
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:11,000
parliamentary politics has overturned a

29
00:01:07,759 --> 00:01:13,479
2 24,000 majority so Mr Galloway has a

30
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,600
tough battle ahead but the Firebrand

31
00:01:13,479 --> 00:01:18,080
politician seemed more than up for the

32
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:21,159
challenge as our team followed him to a

33
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:24,640
fiery hustings hosted by men a Muslim

34
00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:27,240
advocacy and campaign group labor has

35
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:30,880
had untrammeled power in this

36
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:33,079
constituency for 50 years and what a

37
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,960
mess they've made of

38
00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:38,000
it some feel that Galloway has a chance

39
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:39,840
especially as the labor opponent as for

40
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,920
Khan does not seem to have the same

41
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,799
support as the last Labor MP for

42
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:48,200
Manchester Gorton the late Gerald kman a

43
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:50,840
former friend of Galloway however Mr K

44
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,479
also seemed up for the fight people of

45
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,560
this city again and again vote labor and

46
00:01:53,479 --> 00:01:57,640
there's a reason because we are part of

47
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,000
this city we work with the people we

48
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,960
want to make that difference we have

49
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,280
done so much Chang years but what we've

50
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,079
seen in the last seven years is year

51
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,119
after year cuts that is destroying our

52
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:09,959
communities it's destroying our Public

53
00:02:08,119 --> 00:02:11,840
Services we want to fight that we want

54
00:02:09,959 --> 00:02:13,560
to get rid of the story government and

55
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,720
we want to have Labor government so we

56
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,720
can really get this city moving again

57
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,840
further in the end the people of

58
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,000
Manchester Gorton will decide and at the

59
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,160
hustins many mancunians felt that

60
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,400
Galloway was more supportive of Jeremy

61
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,120
Corbin than the labor candidate and in

62
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,879
terms of my candidate I'm definitely

63
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:36,400
voting for George Galloway um and and

64
00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:39,440
that's because he stands for all the um

65
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:43,280
the same kind of uh politics that I

66
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:45,599
stand for and about the inequalities the

67
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,280
racism the um

68
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:51,239
discrimination um and also as well he's

69
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:54,599
the only candidate that talks about uh

70
00:02:51,239 --> 00:02:57,319
standing up for um Jeremy

71
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:59,280
Corbin ultimately as it's a general

72
00:02:57,319 --> 00:03:01,159
election the odds are that people

73
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,440
probably vote for the party they want to

74
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:05,599
see in Westminster add to the fact that

75
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,400
asil Khan has a Labor financial machine

76
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:10,920
behind him as well as the 24,000 labor

77
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,319
majority It ultimately means it might be

78
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:15,799
too much of a tall task even for the man

79
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:18,000
that faced down the US Senate but if by

80
00:03:15,799 --> 00:03:21,879
some miracle Galloway does win it'll be

81
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,879
the greatest parliamentary Victory ever

82
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,080
recorded he
