Galloway At Glastonbury

[butchersapron]

The big men are here!

Challenge the point, 'die for me man' - why didn't your moral indignation extend to you volunteering?

 

[Pickman's model]

Revolutionaries have no higher desire than to give their life for the cause.

you've been mixing with the wrong revolutionaries.

che guevara said that the duty of the revolutionary is to make the revolution, which most people would agree with. but it's very easy to go out and die for something. it's a tad harder, though a cliche, to live for something.

it is the duty of soldiers to die for the country. i doubt it is many soldiers' desire to die for their country.

If they pushed Galloway out of the helicopter from a great height he could do the whole movement a service and flatten several lines of riot police, thus allowing us a temporary gap to charge through to the hotel.

Come on GG, put your money where your mouth is!

Is the 'us' the international brigades of Workers Power or the workers defence squads ? Surely it isn't 'the whole movement'?

He is on the Wright Stuff all week, where do such M.P's get time to do parliamentary and constituency work?

why do you think - what makes you believe that - he's bothering with parliamentary and constituency work?

I nearly broke the TV remote changing channels when the bastard appeared.

 

[hibee]

I didn't see him, he wasn't down the front at New Order anyway. It's probably just as well, as any attempt by me to challenge his cynical and exploitative communalism and opportunism would have come out pretty garbled thanks to the pear cider.

 

[editor]

I listened to welly-clad George for a while, took a couple of pics for some friends and then found the offer of some super strong cider far more interesting.

What was the turn out and the reaction like?

 

[Random]

Didn't see GG speak, but apparently him being filmed by BBC was disrupted by a young anarchist who edged behind GG with a large instant-made placard saying 'all poliuticians are bastards/people not power'. GG got rather cross and shoved the guy, who was a lot smaller than ponderous George.

The tent was full, but there again it was a small tent (approx capacity: 70).

The event wasn't particularly well advertised but there certainly wasn't a mad scrum to hear the man.

Seeing as he is the most important, and the loudest, voice opposing the most disgraceful and destructive war waged by the UK in almost a century, I find this fact appalling. I haven't been to Glastonbury since 1989, but in those days political speakers used to pull in thousands. Has the demographics of attendees really been so drastically transformed? Was there any anti-war activity at all?

 

[DrRingDing]

Pickmans Model: Why don't you go find George and lump the cunt. It won't be that hard and if you take him by suprise you'd probably have him.

 

[Oletjo]

Galloway is such a loser.

Who was he up against on the Pyramid Stage?

I saw Mark Thomas in a big tent at Leeds Festival in 2003 and it was packed - I'd guess 1,000+. His main message was anti-war especially 'F*CK BUSH!'.

I wonder if there's a difference between the sandal/wellie wearing hippies at Glastonbury and the leather-clad hard rockers at Leeds?

Shame was that I had to miss The Darkness to see him!
