George Galloway embroiled in Twitter spat with Bradford Brewery

Looks like George Galloway has been up to his old tricks again. Mind you, it'll no doubt lead to a massive spike in sales for an otherwise fairly unremarkable brewery.

George Galloway has become embroiled in a bizarre spat with a brewery on Twitter after he responded to a tweet which appeared to annoy him.

Bradford Brewery, a brewery, bar and pie shop in Yorkshire, tweeted to George Galloway’s account asking whether he was "still a thing".

People were quick to leap to the defence of the Bradford Brewery – a brewery, bar and pie shop in Yorkshire – after they claimed that George Galloway had reported them to West Yorkshire Police.

However, reporting the brewery to the police is going a little far even by his standards (borders on 'wasting police time'). And they are right; he doesn't own the constituency.

....I don't think that Galloway could have reacted much worse then he did.
