The previous MP was great apparently, they also used to have Cyril Smith as their mp (look up his alleged sex offences)
The reason this is serious is that Galloway has used Muslim/Jew rhetoric to stoke up hatred, have you seen his from the river chant?
This spooks Labour as he has successfully taken the Muslim vote, and the conservatives for the same reason.
Fair enough if this was based on policy but it wasn’t, his victory was won on hate and triggering anti Jewish sentiment and it worked, if it worked there it may work in other constituencies ( just my opinion)
