...about democracy in Pakistan. Tune into the parliament channel for some vintage Galloway. I'm guessing from about 19:30 onwards.

Paul.

I've been cutting back and forth onto the Parliament channel but the debates have been about an Inquiry into Iraq (which was good to hear actually) and Support For Carers. Maybe I missed the Galloway bit, but I don't think so...

that was incredible, geoff hoon is the king of waffle - my heads all kinda mashed up at the moment - i can't work out how he can come out with what he did after what galloway put forwards. and the way they just ended it, though galloway was standing up obviously wanting to put questions towards him. the whole system is bollocks. crazed Confused Shocked angry

they archive these on the parliament site, this would be a good one to put on youtube - with geoff hoons answer, maybe with little pointers if possible to point out the hypocrisy in what he's saying.

crazy crazed

Galloway's speech was excellent and I was wondering how Hoon would respond. The only time he referred to anything that Galloway really said was when he pointed out a single error he'd made.

I'll upload the full 17 minutes that I got. The ending did seem abrupt but it goes to show how that setup works. I didn't hear anyone saying 'Nay' to the request for the house to shut up shop...

I just finished watching it. I'm lost for words. That was like a canned email reply from eBay or something! He was just reading what seemed like an extended holiday brochure.
