Like so many of his fellow travellers he can't distinguish between repugnance at Israeli actions and jew-bashing. I opposed the Iraq catastrophe and yes, frankly the collapse of the Soviet Union has been a mixed blessing. But Galloway the old Stalinist-Leninist has described its collapse in saddest day of his life-type terms. Like Hobsbawn (and apparently yourself) gulags and the slaughter of 40 million are for him just a detail of history. Face it Galloway and Blair are equally odious.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11922734957259684381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25656996.post-2627625583271877252016-12-16T12:49:19.691+00:002016-12-16T12:49:19.691+00:00George was anti-Saddam when the British Government...George was anti-Saddam when the British Government was arming him. And the view that most people in the Soviet Union were better off than they are now is the view of most of them as expressed in opinion polls even only this week. They weren't in gulags, and they didn't know anyone who was. The collapse of the USSR into republics whose borders were only ever designed for internal use has created little, apart from money-making opportunities for Tony Blair. Wait and see the reaction when Gorbachev dies.David Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839882674758833524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25656996.post-13240749907761532802016-12-16T12:45:35.602+00:002016-12-16T12:45:35.602+00:00Galloway v Blair: what a choice.
