now the former Labour MP George Galloway
is hoping that he too will be allowed
back 16 years after he was expelled and
as you can see he joins us now live from
Liverpool at morning mr. Galloway thanks
for being with us and just bring us up
to date what is the state of your
reapplication to join the party
nice talk to you again it's been some
years since my last acquaintance with
Sky News so I must be doing something
right about maida onto your terrific
show which I've been listening to this
morning well I've written to the labour
party general secretary asking that my
expulsion by Mr Blair over the Iraq war
in 2003 should be rescinded it should be
rescinded because it was contrary to
rule at the time it was I think unjust
and mr. Ben mr. Foote mr. Corbyn were
all a protesting outside mr. Boehner mr.
foo inside the expulsion hearing and it
now looks ridiculous Neil everybody now
knows that I was right about Iraq and it
was Mr Blair and his friends that were
wrong so something that was unjust
contrary to rule and now looks
ridiculous probably should be corrected
well I know that you did the challenge
that the time and I'm sure each I would
would challenge it again no but that the
charge that the rationale as before by
the Labour Party at the time at for your
expulsion was that you incited and Arabs
to fight British troops it's not true of
course and we said so at the time we
have a QCs opinion he's now a QC was a
barrister then to the contrary the whole
thing was a kangaroo court the decision
was predetermined by Tony Blair I don't
think even Mr Blair would deny that and
I think that it's time high time that it
was lifted because we have been
vindicated those of us who said that the
Iraq war would turn into an unmitigated
disaster
in fact we underestimated just how
catastrophic lay wrong it would go
and since then of course I've twice
beaten the Labour Party in parliamentary
elections two of the most significant
election results I think of recent times
and I'm the man that beat Roy Jenkins
the head of the last breakaway you're
talking about breakaways I'm quite good
at beating the leaders of breakaways so
maybe I could do a job for them but if
not I've still got my various platforms
and I'm still very busy but but just in
terms of your decision to try and get
back into the party presumably this is
but your decision you could have made at
any point over the last 16 years so what
is it about this point in the political
narrative where you're seeing people
like this you're an aperture at leaving
the party what is it about this moment
that makes you want to come back well I
think with the Blair rights walking out
the door Harling their slander at Corbin
and the Labour leadership and it's
really a black op that's going on here
I've been listening to your show and
others or morning this is pure go
billion a propaganda repeat a lie often
enough and some people billion
propaganda birds we just mentioned
Luciana parrot I mean dealing is
entirely appropriate to talk about
Capelli and Valium I do and aware I've
got a Jewish Labour MP leaving this
cause of anti-semitism yeah well I don't
believe she's leaving because of
anti-semitism
I believe you want people to believe
that and the Goebbels is you and The
Times and the other organs that are
pumping out this foul slander against
the Labour Party knowing that it's
untrue the Wavertree Labour Party has a
Jewish chair Luciana Belcher was three
times elected as a Labour MP in
Liverpool Wavertree
that doesn't sound like anti-semitism to
me anti-semitism is less now than it was
when Jeremy when Miliband was the leader
a Jewish leader there was more
anti-semitism according to the
statistics of Jewish organisations
themselves so it's all a lie
carbon is not anti-semitic not a fiber
not an atom not a molecule of his mind
or body could be so described that is
the gore belly in life is the replace in
your mind then at Michigan we fall for
true is really at Labour MPs anymore
well I think they're entitled to their
point of view but the Labour Party is
entitled to decide that someone so
infatuated with mr. Netanyahu's Israel
like John Ryan who you have not once
said today was caught on camera by Al
Jazeera you've got the footage show it
hard discussing getting a million pounds
from mr. Netanyahu's Embassy in London
to undermine Jeremy Corbyn and undermine
the Labour Party and its leadership you
know that but you will not tell your
viewers that caught on camera discussing
a million pound bounty to cause problems
for Corbin cause problems for the labor
plan and these things are to me as if
she was saying appoint to John Ryan
well John Ryan you have painted today as
some kind of saintly figure when in fact
she was caught on camera as an agent of
the Israeli embassy in London why don't
you tell your viewers that we asked miss
BAE I've seen the video we've talked
about the video the video what was not
about a million pounds of Brydon why
don't you surely brain peas she was
bringing a million pounds to walk Labour
MPs what were these Labour MPs going to
do with the million pounds well the
Jeremy Corbyn has been a million pound
now to see the report well listen you
haven't shown it and you will not show
it but if Jeremy Corbyn was caught with
the Russian ambassador getting a million
pounds to for Labour MPs to go to Russia
do you think you might have shown that
footage I'd rather think you would and
endlessly on the loop we have been
accused of putting things that are live
in sky news before perhaps not that and
certainly they'll be plenty or disagree
with your assessment of that of that
piece of journalism by Al Jazeera
including the journalist who was
responsible for it I mean I went up once
we have you though I do need to ask you
just just one question on that this
situation is regard Shamima begum what
is your view of the way in which the
home office have acted here they they
have taken the decision which we know
will be challenged by the lawyers but it
seems entirely dependent on one thing
that she is a Bangladeshi national as
well as being a British citizen it
sounds rather sordid to me and I cannot
imagine that any British judge will
uphold it because the government would
appear to have decided that someone is
de facto a Bangladeshi national though
they may not have known it and certainly
don't consent to it and I don't think
that any British citizen can be have
their citizenship revoked on that very
flimsy basis
she and the other returning Isis people
should be on trial they should be behind
bars they have de facto committed
offenses by aiding and abetting the most
satanic group ever to emerge on the face
of the earth in the last 60 or 70 years
but you can't deport someone to
Bangladesh who doesn't consider
themselves to be Bangladesh she never
consented to be Bangladeshi I just want
a fit but D do you not at least to an
extent understand why there will be
those who do listening to your response
here who sees shimmy-shimmy my bag of in
her own words saying that she didn't
have a problem with what happened in
Manchester that she was matter of fact
about decapitations occurring in and
around where she was and on the basis of
that alone there were people people who
suggest that she shouldn't return to the
United Kingdom
well maybe you missed what I said I said
she should be behind bars she should be
on trial
she definitely committed an offense by
aiding and abetting these Satanists
that's my view
but taking her British passport
away is unlawful and I think the courts
will decide that George Galloway many
thanks for joining us appreciate it I
stay with isn't although
