A conversation with British Parliament member George Galloway about his testimony that addresses charges that he profited from Saddam Hussein's regime.
George Galloway
George Galloway is a Scottish politician noted for his far left and socialist views, confrontational style, and rhetorical skill. He is currently the Respect Member of Parliament (MP) for Bethnal Green and Bow, and was previously elected as a Labour Party MP for Glasgow Hillhead and Glasgow Kelvin.
Galloway is perhaps best known for his vigorous campaign to overturn economic sanctions against Iraq, and for his visits to Saddam Hussein in 1994 and 2002. He was expelled from the Labour Party in October 2003 when a party body decided that statements he had made in opposition to the 2003 invasion of Iraq had brought the party into disrepute.
In January 2004, he teamed up with the Socialist Workers Party, leading members of the anti-Iraq war movement such as Salma Yaqoob, and other figures on the British left such as film director Ken Loach to form Respect, a new political party to the left of Labour. He won his seat in the 2005 general election, the only time Respect has won a Parliamentary election.
