This is a clip from the London demo. I'm not surprised the police ended up charging to be honest. The person who filmed it seems to say 'here we go' just as things start to get tasty, which suggests he's more interested in having a rumble than protesting for the sake of people.

I just read this on the David Icke forum on a topic about GG being injured.

"Is it possible that my earbashing of George at the demonstration had an effect on him! It's possible. I told him to his face that he was a phoney and all he was worried about was his fat salary. I also repeatedly asked him why he never talks about 9/11. Maybe he went away and thought about what I had said!!!!

I'm a sixty year old, six foot big guy with a booming voice, not some idealistic young kid. Maybe he paid attention at last.

I see that other Scottish champagne socialist is on Celebrity Big Brother....Tommy Sheridan. He's following in Galloways footsteps. Maybe he is being groomed for Galloways radio job.

Talksport Radio is owned by a big Ulster corporation that is snapping up radio stations all over the place. The board of directors seem to be all Northern Irish but who knows who actually owns the outfit. Lizards? Khazars?


I can't imagine for a minute why Galloway blanked a 6ft maniac, with a booming voice, who was going on about 9/11 and who also wonders about whether lizards or khazars are in control at a march to show solidarity with the people being killed an injured.

I see a different possibility...

I don't know the geography so I could be mistaken but it appears that the Police are impeding the march at the beginning and maybe the 'here we go' is the marchers seeing a possibility of making progress towards their goal... "the Embassy."

I have experience from football of the Police preventing people from lawfully going about their business... and can sympathise with the marchers shown here. The attitude of 100% of the Police I have met in these situations has been arrogant and dismissive of people's wishes and individuality... I must admit watching the clip I got a surge of adrenaline... this might be as the last time I was forced marched in a group by the Police they led us into an ambush where we were bottled for fifteen minutes by Cardiff City fans in a narrow street on a dark January afternoon. Any attempts to flee the Police cordon were met with violence. I had my daughter with me at the time (as did George) who thankfully remained unhurt...

I see that the 9/11 Nutter got a mention;

& well done to Faceless for getting Kamm to resort to writing this ;

"I also note that Galloway lovingly stores on his website the entire archive of these programmes, stretching back to 2006. You would have to be a devoted admirer to listen to all of these, let alone record them for the master's use - so it's fortunate for Galloway that such a person exists, and unfailingly turns up in the comments threads of this blog in high indignation (see below) whenever I fail to evince the required degree of adulation."

haha, he really doesn't have much of a clue about this thing called technology eh? He could have known all about what I do if he'd bothered to check the link I've always added when posting on his blog. He also seems incapable of understanding that many thousands of people listen to and download the show, or is that just his jealousy that nobody would want to listen to him? He really is a petty little man.

There was something wrong with The Times blog page, which meant that they had The Sun's header... it definitely suits Kamm's style more!

Got a nice reply from an email to TalkSport--
Quote:
Dear David,

Many thanks for the below email.


On Saturday evening talkSPORT took the editorial decision to run a
rolling news service in order to report the situation that was
developing in the Middle East rather than proceed with the scheduled
George Galloway show.


As a 24/7 live broadcaster, we are able to change and alter our schedule
as news events dictate. This was not the first time we have discarded
the schedule in order to provide a rolling news service. Previous
occasions have included 9/11, 7/7 and the Russian school siege.


With regards to George Galloway, he was not axed, suspended or gagged
from expressing his views. Anyone who listens to George on a regular
basis will know that he discusses the Israeli - Palestine conflict on a
regular basis and he makes no secret of his pro-Palestine stance. Last
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday George also presented the 10am to 1pm slot
and discussed the events in Gaza each day.


George will be back on air this Friday in his usual 10pm slot and I'm
sure that the Israeli invasion of Gaza will be high on his agenda.


Best regards


Stephen [Farmer, TalkSport]

Their reply to David is just the general Press Release that they forced to issue after many of their listeners complained about the shoddy way Talksport behaved over this incident. Their professed reason is quite frankly insulting, as proved by the shamble that Ian Collins try to present as a "rolling news service". They would of been off stating that in view of the emotional stresses of that day, they were worried that GG might have blown a fuse or two on air.

Incidentally I'm just catching up with the X-mas morning shows that I missed, and having just listened to the Monday show, it was clear that there was a problem & lots of tension in the Studio over the Gaza situation, so it seems this was a growing problem that lead upto Galloway's show being pulled on Saturday. I'm near the end of the Tuesday show & there has been no mention at all so far about Gaza.

London clashes: Protesters tell of fear and panic



Demonstrators yesterday told how they feared they were going to die after riot police charged hundreds of people in an underground tunnel in London, which led to stampedes and panic.

The clashes came after protesters from Saturday's march against Israel's attack on Gaza tried to cross London to continue their demonstration.

Scotland Yard was criticised for the level of violence used by its officers and its tactics against hundreds of people ordered into an underpass as they tried to walk from Trafalgar Square to Israel's embassy in west London.

People told of being trapped under each other and of hearing screams of fear as police charged the crowds three times in the confined space of the Piccadilly underpass on the edge of Hyde Park.

Scotland Yard said riot police charged after they were attacked and that their tactics were proportionate. People trapped in the tunnel said the police were not attacked.

Among several people injured was Asil Alrashidi, 23, a bank worker from Langley, Berkshire. She said she feared she and her sister would die after they were trapped in a crush of people as a stampede broke out when protesters panicked amid repeated charges by baton-wielding riot police.

She said she suffered bruising after being knocked to the floor. "I was petrified," she said. "The riot police were charging and pushing people, hitting them with their batons. I was trapped with people coming at us. They were falling on us, trampling us.

"There was screaming and shouting, I thought I was going to die. I was holding my sister, our hands were separating and I could hear her screaming my name. I think there were 20 to 30 people on top of me."

Chris Ninehams, chief steward for the march, organised by the Stop the War Coalition, said the level of police violence was unprecedented.

Scotland Yard said in a statement: "Officers made a 10-metre advance into the crowd to regain control of the protest, using recognised and proportionate tactics."

I've just finished the Tuesday show, and about the last 40 odd minutes were left to discuss Gaza, but GG was reduced to allowing pro-Israeli callers full uninterrupted time, and only mildly questioning the official Israeli guest. He explained at the end that this was due to "people pressing buttons for Press Complaints"; it was a dismal experience to listen to, and GG sounded very down, and I think that if he is forced to act like this for much longer, he will quit the show of his own volition, which is of course exactly what the pro-Israeli supporters are hoping for.

Not really looking forward to listening to the Wednesday show now !

When I think that back in the Summer of 2006, during the Israeli attack on Lebanon, there was no problem with GG voicing his opinions on his show, in fact he actually broadcast a show direct from Lebanon as he vividly described the carnage he was seeing. So is it possible that thanks to incidents like Ross & Brand, Gaunt, Whale etc, we are now suffering a pathetically sanitised era of broadcasting, which is what caused Talksport to panic & pull the show on Saturday ?

I think that's probably more likely than any 'pro-Israeli' influence.

He explained at the end that this was due to "people pressing buttons for Press Complaints";


"I wish we had longer to discuss the issue that we've been discussing for most of the last hour, but, well ... there are obviously difficulties in conducting a radio discussion of this sensitivity with so many people with their fingers of the button to the complaints authority and the rest. I hope you think I gave everyone a fair amount of time to put their point of view. It's very difficult when blood is flowing and passions are roused to be entirely dispassionate, and I'm the last person to claim that I'm entirely dispassionate. I have a point of view.

"For those who disagree with my point of view, well, there's always other shows, other shows on here and other shows in the media where a different point of view can often be heard."




In the U.S. we don't have a complaints authority to manipulate. Instead the Zionists just buy up the media.
