No, it’s dangerous NOT to “bash” a man who feels that suicide bombings can be morally justified.

That’s quite separate from other issues, and he will be used by the right as a weapon against the left if you make the mistake of talking about him.

The bloke really has no idea of how people live in the real world he goes on about how the Tories are hammering the labour middle class, the hard working middle class.

Miliband the leader of the middle class

Pull your head out of your arse Shamik Das! You are completely out of touch with the voters of Bradford. Is this Left Foot Forward or London Foot Forward I’m reading?!

Whatever one thinks of Galloway, he was able to articulate the anger that many are feeling far more effectively than Labour. For far too long, Labour have been far too reticent, they are still more worried about the headlines in the Sun and the Daily Mail than they are in actually speaking up for the people who now, more than ever, really need them.
I expand on this in the following article: http://www.allthatsleft.co.uk/2012/03/bradford-a-neutrals-view/

Oh possibly they’ll squeak in with a fraction of the left who will vote “non-Tory”, the centralists and a few other groups. But they’ll squeak in, while 4+ million more on the left sit at home.

The Labour vote in 1950 was barely over a quarter million less than their “overwhelming” victory in 1997, and their vote in 1929 barely a half-million less than 2010.

The next polls will be interesting, as will the local elections.

Because simple answers are appealing. Never mind if they’re impossible, or morally wrong.

It’s all very well pointing out his vile letter and his despicable supporters whilst holding a hand-wringing, sack and ashes post-mortem, but don’t you think a bit of homework and hard work should have been done? If you act like lazy amateurs, you get your arses kicked.
