1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,400
now we're joined now from college green

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:06,480
by the respect MP George Galloway who

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,760
doesn't want pmqs to be cancelled on

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,719
Wednesday George Galloway why not well

5
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:13,679
you've managed to assemble the only

6
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:16,080
three people in one room uh in the

7
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:19,039
entire country that think it's all right

8
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:22,000
that we're spending 10 million on the

9
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:24,920
canonization of this Wicked Woman this

10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,400
woman who laid waste to Industrial

11
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:30,519
Britain to the north to Scotland to

12
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:33,239
South Wales we've already had the recall

13
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:35,000
of parliament last week with MPS being

14
00:00:33,239 --> 00:00:38,079
paid up to

15
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,160
£3,700 to fly back from the Caribbean

16
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:42,840
holiday that they were on and then fly

17
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:46,160
back to start their holiday again for a

18
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,600
totally unnecessary foring over this

19
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:50,719
woman they want to cancel prime

20
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,280
minister's questions it's absurd right

21
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:54,239
George Galloway I mean she was prime

22
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,719
minister for 11 and a half years she won

23
00:00:54,239 --> 00:00:58,120
three well hang on a second she won

24
00:00:55,719 --> 00:01:00,719
three general elections surely she is a

25
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:03,000
big enough political figure whether you

26
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:06,159
like her or not to Merit such a ceremony

27
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:10,080
Mr Wilson won four general elections Mr

28
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:12,640
Atley totally transformed the country in

29
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:15,520
the wake of the second world war neither

30
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:18,040
of those had anything remotely like this

31
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,200
this tidal wave of Guff that the

32
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,560
country's been forced to listen to

33
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,640
particularly on the BBC and when they

34
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,400
bought ding-dong the witch is dead you

35
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:30,560
censored it as the only means they had

36
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,720
of expressing their own rejection

37
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,520
of all of this the comparison of

38
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,520
Margaret Thatcher with Mr Churchill is

39
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,200
utterly absurd we'd be conducting this

40
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:43,640
conversation in German if it was not for

41
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:46,600
Mr Churchill he saved the very existence

42
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,759
of this country well Mrs thata did her

43
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,759
best to destroy what was good about this

44
00:01:48,759 --> 00:01:52,840
country and did destroy more than a

45
00:01:50,759 --> 00:01:55,000
third of our manufacturing capacity

46
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,759
reducing us to the state we're in now

47
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,840
people are very angry in Britain and

48
00:01:56,759 --> 00:02:01,399
it's not reflected in your studio and

49
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,479
it's not reflected on the BBC right but

50
00:02:01,399 --> 00:02:06,640
George George Gallow you're reflecting

51
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:09,440
it very clearly and loudly time me on

52
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,840
week she died one week ago hundreds of

53
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,280
thousands of people have been following

54
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,959
me on social media but I never got one

55
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,800
invitation to speak on the BBC I think

56
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:18,319
you're fine this is this is the first

57
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,519
program back after the Easter break and

58
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:23,120
you're on it George Galloway so can I

59
00:02:20,519 --> 00:02:25,840
just say to you those sentiments that

60
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,680
you have expressed all that is being

61
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,000
asked is is there a different time to

62
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,599
express those sentiments on the week the

63
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,640
her funeral is taking place isn't this a

64
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:35,800
time to rise above to rise above that

65
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:37,480
sort of debate and save it just for

66
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,879
another time but that's what people said

67
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,080
last Monday now it's this Monday how

68
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:47,319
long have we got to observe this fake uh

69
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:50,000
silence uh on the record of a woman who

70
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:52,599
caused such destruction in this country

71
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,760
wreckage m campell's a Scottish MP the

72
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:57,879
Tories were reduced to zero no MPS in

73
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,440
Scotland their brand is utterly

74
00:02:57,879 --> 00:03:02,480
poisonous in large parts of of the north

75
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,879
well has said he disagreed with those

76
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,720
policies they lost their deposit against

77
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:08,080
me in the B elction is there a

78
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,640
difference just a few weeks is there a

79
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,519
difference George Galloway because

80
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:13,000
actually both Tessa Jal and M Campbell

81
00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:15,599
have stated very clearly that they

82
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,080
disagreed with her policies Tessa Jal

83
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:19,879
went on marches during two of those

84
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,159
elections against her policies is this a

85
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:25,440
difference between the way you express

86
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:27,560
your outrage um and discussed whether it

87
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,560
is done in a more polite way just for

88
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,080
this week or whether or whether you do

89
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,599
it I'm just asking you or whether you do

90
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,760
it in the way that you've expressed it

91
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:37,439
was Mrs Thatcher polite about the miners

92
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,879
when she destroyed their communities

93
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:42,840
leaving them social slag heaps of

94
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:44,879
needles and crime and vice and idleness

95
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,040
was she polite to the steel workers when

96
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:49,480
she destroyed them to the print workers

97
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,920
when she destroyed them she laid waste

98
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,560
to this country what are you talking

99
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:56,079
spare me this sanctimony about

100
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,319
politeness please there are millions of

101
00:03:56,079 --> 00:04:00,840
people in this country hate the very

102
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:03,799
word thater and thatcherism which

103
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,319
continues until this day George Galloway

104
00:04:03,799 --> 00:04:06,640
I think we did try to get hold of you

105
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:08,079
actually for a program earlier but we

106
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,360
weren't able to but thank you for

107
00:04:08,079 --> 00:04:11,360
appearing on the program today
