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)
The message from Galloway is the same though as it was in at least two of the three previous constituencies he represented, why has this one prompted a Friday evening Downing Street address from the Prime Minister about how democracy was under threat?
