After losing his seat in Bradford West, George Galloway is being utterly torn apart on social media.
The Respect candidate, who stormed to victory in a by-election in 2012, received just 21% (8,557) in yesterday's vote.
Labours Naseem Shah won with 50% (19,997) of the vote, taking the constituency back to red.
Galloway, known for his grandiose boasts and controversial television appearances, made what can only be described as an utterly bizarre speech following his defeat.
He blamed Zionists, racists and even hyenas for Respects loss before declaring: Im going off now to plan the next campaign.

(58,724 posts)I get that he likes to throw Zionists into every conversation but why racists?

And, of course, he's a big fan of state-sanctioned homophobia and persecution of the GLBT community in Iran,

(25,699 posts)He says the first two would be celebrating it and compares them to hyenas. Which I think is rather unfair to hyenas, but I dunno, British people and their lions, I guess.

(14,851 posts)Can I ask you:
Is that because I am Gay ? Are you in a socially / culturally backward country such as most in the Middle East where Gay people have no rights and people never get to converse with us?
Because I can help you see we just regular normal people despite the background you may come from.
I'm just asking this because you seem to have singled me out among all the people posting in this group , even to the extent that you make your feelings about me public by adding it to your sig line, and the only difference between me and other pro Israel Jewish posters is that I am openly Gay.
Is that the reason for this "special treatment " I receive from you with a public derision in your sig line?
What country are you from?
I can help you with overcoming this prejudice if you wish.

(14,851 posts)Not only immature and downright creepy, obsessed is right.
I wonder why myself tho , besides being an American Jew like most of the other pro Israel posters in this group , I am also openly Gay and I can't help wondering that that is the reason .

(14,851 posts)Just to remind you your sig line is creepy.
Which country do you actually live in and why chose that name as yours if you don't actually even live there.

(26,060 posts)was one of the few pieces of good news that night. Remember Cynthia McKinney? She also blamed the Jews for her loss. Both she and Galloway are pathetic assholes whose constituents finally got tired of their shit and went on to better representation.
