#1 Do you suppose a Doc Martin to the head might have helped?

#2 The spokesman said Mr Galloway had described himself as being “in a pretty bad shape”.

My assessment of Galloway prior to the attack as well.

#3 The spokesman said Mr Galloway had described himself as being “in a pretty bad shape”.

Is that before the beatdown, or after?

As for the perp, it looks like he may have missed a spot. Better luck next time.

#6 Interesting how the bobbies pinched the guy so quickly. Had the perpetrator been a Hamas sympathizer and the victim a Jew, would they have reacted so quickly?

Lets look at the record.

#7 Mr Galloway was interviewed earlier this month by West Yorkshire Police following a speech in Leeds in which he claimed Bradford was an Israel-free zone.

Galloway a member of the Respect Party. Now there's irony for you.

An Israel-free zone? WTF is that?

it is never right to beat an old man even a vile one like GG. It was ok when christopher hitchens did it though as they were the same age.

i have seen this post now 3 times on the Burg... i can see the joy is being savoured

J, that's the PC way to say Judenfrei or Judenrein. Pays your money take your choice.

Not on my part, even though I posted this one.

More like emphasizing that the margin of accommodation is a bit thin.

#11 it is never right to beat an old man even a vile one like GG

I have to disagree. Not beating a guy who so desperately needs it just because he is older seems like a PC attitude to me. It's not OK to be vile when you're young or old. He should know better by now is what I think, and he's not learning, so he gets what's coming to him. The world would be a better place if everyone were rational, but not everyone is rational. If not this, then the world would be a better place if his constituents would vote the guy out, but they don't. Hopefully this shines a light on what he is up to and people figure it out. Hopefully George got some sense knocked into him. Every day he is screwing up people's lives worse than him getting roughed up once. I don't relish the need for it, but sometimes a guy is the kind who needs to get some sense knocked into him.

#14 People forget that not all Jews are doctors, lawyers and Rothschilds. In England, a great many are small businessmen and labour union members... with a more direct approach to communications.

TW, you are the master (or mistress) of understatement.
