00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,400
I'm George Galloway. I'm in Moscow for

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:09,200
the 10th anniversary of RT for which my

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:12,160
wife and I present a program every

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:15,800
Saturday called Sputnik. Please try and

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:18,960
watch it on YouTube or on the rt.com

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:21,600
site. The reason for this short message

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:24,640
is because I'm missing the Stop the War

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:27,439
Coalition demonstration in London today

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:30,320
and I'm very sorry about that. I wish

10
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:32,239
the rally every success. I hope there's

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,920
a big turnout. I hope the weather's a

12
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:39,760
little more favorable than this. And I

13
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:42,239
just want to say one short thing. The

14
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:45,520
reason that the stop the war coalition

15
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:47,760
has come under remorseless attack over

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:51,120
the last couple of weeks and sometimes

17
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:54,079
from unlikely quarters is nothing to do

18
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:57,120
with stop the war which is a vital organ

19
00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:59,520
of British democracy which organized and

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:02,800
led the biggest demonstrations of

21
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:05,840
British people ever seen in all history

22
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,479
in our islands. It's nothing to do with

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,360
any shortcomings of the leadership of

24
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:14,119
the Stop the War coalition of which I've

25
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:17,280
been proud to be a part from the very

26
00:01:14,119 --> 00:01:20,200
beginning. It has everything to do with

27
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:23,439
a different kind of war. A war being

28
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:26,840
waged against Jeremy Corbin's leadership

29
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:29,200
of the Labor Party. being waged by the

30
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:32,320
Conservatives who are never done telling

31
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,880
us how unelectable he is, but seem to be

32
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:38,320
rather afraid that he might just be

33
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:41,280
electable after all by their friends in

34
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:43,759
the right-wing media and I'm sorry to

35
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:47,040
say by their friends within the Labor

36
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:49,240
Party, particularly in Parliament. So,

37
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,320
nobody should be shaken by this

38
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,799
offensive which is being mounted against

39
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:57,600
the Stop the War coalition. Nobody

40
00:01:54,799 --> 00:02:00,799
should be shaken in their confidence and

41
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:04,240
trust in Jeremy Corbin, a real man, a

42
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:07,680
good and honest man who standing up to

43
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:10,479
all these vicious attacks with dignity

44
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,959
and with strength. I would have liked to

45
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:16,160
have been there in London to deliver

46
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:18,720
this message and more, but for the sake

47
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,599
of a short video, I'll leave it there.

48
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,480
Long live the unity of the Stop the War

49
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:28,840
Coalition. Long live the leadership of

50
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,840
Jeremy Corbin, MP.
