1
00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:04,230
now the former Labour MP George Galloway

2
00:00:02,310 --> 00:00:06,420
is hoping that he too will be allowed

3
00:00:04,230 --> 00:00:08,130
back 16 years after he was expelled and

4
00:00:06,420 --> 00:00:10,139
as you can see he joins us now live from

5
00:00:08,130 --> 00:00:12,059
Liverpool at morning mr. Galloway thanks

6
00:00:10,139 --> 00:00:13,710
for being with us and just bring us up

7
00:00:12,059 --> 00:00:16,970
to date what is the state of your

8
00:00:13,710 --> 00:00:19,320
reapplication to join the party

9
00:00:16,970 --> 00:00:21,330
nice talk to you again it's been some

10
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,789
years since my last acquaintance with

11
00:00:21,330 --> 00:00:25,680
Sky News so I must be doing something

12
00:00:23,789 --> 00:00:28,320
right about maida onto your terrific

13
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:31,710
show which I've been listening to this

14
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:34,649
morning well I've written to the labour

15
00:00:31,710 --> 00:00:38,120
party general secretary asking that my

16
00:00:34,649 --> 00:00:43,370
expulsion by Mr Blair over the Iraq war

17
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:46,440
in 2003 should be rescinded it should be

18
00:00:43,370 --> 00:00:49,649
rescinded because it was contrary to

19
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:53,489
rule at the time it was I think unjust

20
00:00:49,649 --> 00:00:57,390
and mr. Ben mr. Foote mr. Corbyn were

21
00:00:53,489 --> 00:01:01,410
all a protesting outside mr. Boehner mr.

22
00:00:57,390 --> 00:01:04,170
foo inside the expulsion hearing and it

23
00:01:01,410 --> 00:01:06,390
now looks ridiculous Neil everybody now

24
00:01:04,170 --> 00:01:09,060
knows that I was right about Iraq and it

25
00:01:06,390 --> 00:01:11,729
was Mr Blair and his friends that were

26
00:01:09,060 --> 00:01:13,530
wrong so something that was unjust

27
00:01:11,729 --> 00:01:16,640
contrary to rule and now looks

28
00:01:13,530 --> 00:01:18,750
ridiculous probably should be corrected

29
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,280
well I know that you did the challenge

30
00:01:18,750 --> 00:01:22,380
that the time and I'm sure each I would

31
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,840
would challenge it again no but that the

32
00:01:22,380 --> 00:01:26,520
charge that the rationale as before by

33
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,430
the Labour Party at the time at for your

34
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:34,380
expulsion was that you incited and Arabs

35
00:01:29,430 --> 00:01:36,900
to fight British troops it's not true of

36
00:01:34,380 --> 00:01:39,990
course and we said so at the time we

37
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:44,549
have a QCs opinion he's now a QC was a

38
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:47,040
barrister then to the contrary the whole

39
00:01:44,549 --> 00:01:49,920
thing was a kangaroo court the decision

40
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,170
was predetermined by Tony Blair I don't

41
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:55,950
think even Mr Blair would deny that and

42
00:01:52,170 --> 00:01:59,219
I think that it's time high time that it

43
00:01:55,950 --> 00:02:01,950
was lifted because we have been

44
00:01:59,219 --> 00:02:04,920
vindicated those of us who said that the

45
00:02:01,950 --> 00:02:06,030
Iraq war would turn into an unmitigated

46
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,550
disaster

47
00:02:06,030 --> 00:02:12,480
in fact we underestimated just how

48
00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:14,760
catastrophic lay wrong it would go

49
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,090
and since then of course I've twice

50
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:20,690
beaten the Labour Party in parliamentary

51
00:02:17,090 --> 00:02:23,810
elections two of the most significant

52
00:02:20,690 --> 00:02:26,400
election results I think of recent times

53
00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:29,040
and I'm the man that beat Roy Jenkins

54
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,470
the head of the last breakaway you're

55
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,140
talking about breakaways I'm quite good

56
00:02:31,470 --> 00:02:37,140
at beating the leaders of breakaways so

57
00:02:34,140 --> 00:02:39,660
maybe I could do a job for them but if

58
00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:42,450
not I've still got my various platforms

59
00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:43,890
and I'm still very busy but but just in

60
00:02:42,450 --> 00:02:45,510
terms of your decision to try and get

61
00:02:43,890 --> 00:02:47,430
back into the party presumably this is

62
00:02:45,510 --> 00:02:49,709
but your decision you could have made at

63
00:02:47,430 --> 00:02:52,019
any point over the last 16 years so what

64
00:02:49,709 --> 00:02:53,280
is it about this point in the political

65
00:02:52,019 --> 00:02:55,140
narrative where you're seeing people

66
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,420
like this you're an aperture at leaving

67
00:02:55,140 --> 00:03:00,660
the party what is it about this moment

68
00:02:57,420 --> 00:03:02,819
that makes you want to come back well I

69
00:03:00,660 --> 00:03:06,870
think with the Blair rights walking out

70
00:03:02,819 --> 00:03:10,620
the door Harling their slander at Corbin

71
00:03:06,870 --> 00:03:12,599
and the Labour leadership and it's

72
00:03:10,620 --> 00:03:14,370
really a black op that's going on here

73
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:18,180
I've been listening to your show and

74
00:03:14,370 --> 00:03:21,389
others or morning this is pure go

75
00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:26,280
billion a propaganda repeat a lie often

76
00:03:21,389 --> 00:03:27,750
enough and some people billion

77
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,040
propaganda birds we just mentioned

78
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:30,359
Luciana parrot I mean dealing is

79
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,730
entirely appropriate to talk about

80
00:03:30,359 --> 00:03:34,650
Capelli and Valium I do and aware I've

81
00:03:32,730 --> 00:03:38,130
got a Jewish Labour MP leaving this

82
00:03:34,650 --> 00:03:39,180
cause of anti-semitism yeah well I don't

83
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:40,169
believe she's leaving because of

84
00:03:39,180 --> 00:03:41,849
anti-semitism

85
00:03:40,169 --> 00:03:44,880
I believe you want people to believe

86
00:03:41,849 --> 00:03:47,700
that and the Goebbels is you and The

87
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:51,569
Times and the other organs that are

88
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:53,970
pumping out this foul slander against

89
00:03:51,569 --> 00:03:56,849
the Labour Party knowing that it's

90
00:03:53,970 --> 00:04:00,569
untrue the Wavertree Labour Party has a

91
00:03:56,849 --> 00:04:02,730
Jewish chair Luciana Belcher was three

92
00:04:00,569 --> 00:04:04,079
times elected as a Labour MP in

93
00:04:02,730 --> 00:04:06,540
Liverpool Wavertree

94
00:04:04,079 --> 00:04:10,079
that doesn't sound like anti-semitism to

95
00:04:06,540 --> 00:04:14,250
me anti-semitism is less now than it was

96
00:04:10,079 --> 00:04:16,260
when Jeremy when Miliband was the leader

97
00:04:14,250 --> 00:04:18,660
a Jewish leader there was more

98
00:04:16,260 --> 00:04:21,660
anti-semitism according to the

99
00:04:18,660 --> 00:04:25,260
statistics of Jewish organisations

100
00:04:21,660 --> 00:04:28,740
themselves so it's all a lie

101
00:04:25,260 --> 00:04:32,400
carbon is not anti-semitic not a fiber

102
00:04:28,740 --> 00:04:35,640
not an atom not a molecule of his mind

103
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:39,720
or body could be so described that is

104
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:41,640
the gore belly in life is the replace in

105
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:46,580
your mind then at Michigan we fall for

106
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:49,410
true is really at Labour MPs anymore

107
00:04:46,580 --> 00:04:51,360
well I think they're entitled to their

108
00:04:49,410 --> 00:04:54,660
point of view but the Labour Party is

109
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:57,270
entitled to decide that someone so

110
00:04:54,660 --> 00:04:59,580
infatuated with mr. Netanyahu's Israel

111
00:04:57,270 --> 00:05:03,090
like John Ryan who you have not once

112
00:04:59,580 --> 00:05:05,520
said today was caught on camera by Al

113
00:05:03,090 --> 00:05:08,820
Jazeera you've got the footage show it

114
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,760
hard discussing getting a million pounds

115
00:05:08,820 --> 00:05:15,330
from mr. Netanyahu's Embassy in London

116
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:17,970
to undermine Jeremy Corbyn and undermine

117
00:05:15,330 --> 00:05:20,430
the Labour Party and its leadership you

118
00:05:17,970 --> 00:05:24,330
know that but you will not tell your

119
00:05:20,430 --> 00:05:27,510
viewers that caught on camera discussing

120
00:05:24,330 --> 00:05:30,660
a million pound bounty to cause problems

121
00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:32,760
for Corbin cause problems for the labor

122
00:05:30,660 --> 00:05:36,080
plan and these things are to me as if

123
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:39,570
she was saying appoint to John Ryan

124
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:43,410
well John Ryan you have painted today as

125
00:05:39,570 --> 00:05:46,980
some kind of saintly figure when in fact

126
00:05:43,410 --> 00:05:49,650
she was caught on camera as an agent of

127
00:05:46,980 --> 00:05:53,160
the Israeli embassy in London why don't

128
00:05:49,650 --> 00:05:54,900
you tell your viewers that we asked miss

129
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,430
BAE I've seen the video we've talked

130
00:05:54,900 --> 00:05:57,720
about the video the video what was not

131
00:05:56,430 --> 00:06:02,940
about a million pounds of Brydon why

132
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:06,270
don't you surely brain peas she was

133
00:06:02,940 --> 00:06:08,580
bringing a million pounds to walk Labour

134
00:06:06,270 --> 00:06:10,590
MPs what were these Labour MPs going to

135
00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:13,110
do with the million pounds well the

136
00:06:10,590 --> 00:06:17,280
Jeremy Corbyn has been a million pound

137
00:06:13,110 --> 00:06:19,260
now to see the report well listen you

138
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:21,840
haven't shown it and you will not show

139
00:06:19,260 --> 00:06:24,540
it but if Jeremy Corbyn was caught with

140
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:29,130
the Russian ambassador getting a million

141
00:06:24,540 --> 00:06:30,900
pounds to for Labour MPs to go to Russia

142
00:06:29,130 --> 00:06:33,729
do you think you might have shown that

143
00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:37,629
footage I'd rather think you would and

144
00:06:33,729 --> 00:06:38,770
endlessly on the loop we have been

145
00:06:37,629 --> 00:06:40,629
accused of putting things that are live

146
00:06:38,770 --> 00:06:42,039
in sky news before perhaps not that and

147
00:06:40,629 --> 00:06:43,839
certainly they'll be plenty or disagree

148
00:06:42,039 --> 00:06:45,009
with your assessment of that of that

149
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,479
piece of journalism by Al Jazeera

150
00:06:45,009 --> 00:06:48,610
including the journalist who was

151
00:06:46,479 --> 00:06:49,900
responsible for it I mean I went up once

152
00:06:48,610 --> 00:06:51,520
we have you though I do need to ask you

153
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:54,219
just just one question on that this

154
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,479
situation is regard Shamima begum what

155
00:06:54,219 --> 00:06:57,099
is your view of the way in which the

156
00:06:55,479 --> 00:06:58,960
home office have acted here they they

157
00:06:57,099 --> 00:07:00,999
have taken the decision which we know

158
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,669
will be challenged by the lawyers but it

159
00:07:00,999 --> 00:07:06,039
seems entirely dependent on one thing

160
00:07:03,669 --> 00:07:09,309
that she is a Bangladeshi national as

161
00:07:06,039 --> 00:07:11,529
well as being a British citizen it

162
00:07:09,309 --> 00:07:13,599
sounds rather sordid to me and I cannot

163
00:07:11,529 --> 00:07:15,849
imagine that any British judge will

164
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:18,509
uphold it because the government would

165
00:07:15,849 --> 00:07:21,969
appear to have decided that someone is

166
00:07:18,509 --> 00:07:24,699
de facto a Bangladeshi national though

167
00:07:21,969 --> 00:07:27,430
they may not have known it and certainly

168
00:07:24,699 --> 00:07:30,399
don't consent to it and I don't think

169
00:07:27,430 --> 00:07:32,439
that any British citizen can be have

170
00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:34,210
their citizenship revoked on that very

171
00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:37,449
flimsy basis

172
00:07:34,210 --> 00:07:39,520
she and the other returning Isis people

173
00:07:37,449 --> 00:07:42,219
should be on trial they should be behind

174
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:45,060
bars they have de facto committed

175
00:07:42,219 --> 00:07:48,430
offenses by aiding and abetting the most

176
00:07:45,060 --> 00:07:52,229
satanic group ever to emerge on the face

177
00:07:48,430 --> 00:07:55,990
of the earth in the last 60 or 70 years

178
00:07:52,229 --> 00:07:59,229
but you can't deport someone to

179
00:07:55,990 --> 00:08:00,999
Bangladesh who doesn't consider

180
00:07:59,229 --> 00:08:08,499
themselves to be Bangladesh she never

181
00:08:00,999 --> 00:08:09,879
consented to be Bangladeshi I just want

182
00:08:08,499 --> 00:08:11,259
a fit but D do you not at least to an

183
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:13,120
extent understand why there will be

184
00:08:11,259 --> 00:08:16,240
those who do listening to your response

185
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:18,699
here who sees shimmy-shimmy my bag of in

186
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,649
her own words saying that she didn't

187
00:08:18,699 --> 00:08:23,110
have a problem with what happened in

188
00:08:20,649 --> 00:08:26,709
Manchester that she was matter of fact

189
00:08:23,110 --> 00:08:28,599
about decapitations occurring in and

190
00:08:26,709 --> 00:08:30,789
around where she was and on the basis of

191
00:08:28,599 --> 00:08:31,959
that alone there were people people who

192
00:08:30,789 --> 00:08:33,810
suggest that she shouldn't return to the

193
00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:36,069
United Kingdom

194
00:08:33,810 --> 00:08:38,649
well maybe you missed what I said I said

195
00:08:36,069 --> 00:08:39,310
she should be behind bars she should be

196
00:08:38,649 --> 00:08:41,680
on trial

197
00:08:39,310 --> 00:08:44,199
she definitely committed an offense by

198
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:45,519
aiding and abetting these Satanists

199
00:08:44,199 --> 00:08:47,490
that's my view

200
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:49,920
but taking her British passport

201
00:08:47,490 --> 00:08:52,980
away is unlawful and I think the courts

202
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:56,480
will decide that George Galloway many

203
00:08:52,980 --> 00:08:56,480
thanks for joining us appreciate it I

204
00:08:57,500 --> 00:09:01,070
stay with isn't although
