British MP Says Sex With Sleeping Women Isn't Rape But 'Bad Manners'

[FarCenter]

British MP George Galloway has created controversy in the UK for comments made about rape during a British radio broadcast.

...

The New Statesman has transcribed the controversial comments:

Let's take woman A. Woman A met Julian Assange, invited him back to her flat [apartment], gave him dinner, went to bed with him, had consensual sex with him. Claims that she woke up to him having sex with her again. This is something which can happen, you know.

I mean not everybody needs to be asked prior to each insertion. Some people believe that when you go to bed with somebody, take off your clothes, and have sex with them and then fall asleep, you're already in the sex game with them.

It might be really bad manners not to have tapped her on the shoulder and said, "do you mind if I do it again?". It might be really sordid and bad sexual etiquette, but whatever else it is, it is not rape or you bankrupt the term rape of all meaning. . .

6. So we can assume that Galloway doesn't favor extradition.

Does the disapproval of Galloway's comments (in which he did not use the phrase "bad manners&quot now mean that we are to also assume that sex with a sleeping woman occurred, that Assange engaged in rape, and that should be extradited.

Are we to now assume that the great attention given to Assange by the U.S. and British governments for an alleged "rape" is not a pretext for his whistle-blowing? His whistle-blowing of documented governmental corruption and the unlawful, undemocratic influence of the Banksters?
