British MP George Galloway, friend to Hamas in Gaza, Saddam Hussein and Bashar al-Assad and other dictators, lost his bid for
re-election to Parliament representing Bradford West Thursday by a 2-1
margin.
Newcomer Naz Shah, a Muslim feminist of Pakistani descent, won 19,977 votes to the incumbent Galloway's 8,557.
During the campaign, Shah told of her roots in poverty and domestic
violence, including an abandoning father, an abusive step-father, and a
forced marriage as a teenager in Pakistan. Galloway thought it was a good
idea to challenge Shah's story and call her a liar.
While Galloway is notoriously anti-Israel – last August he "declared
Bradford an Israel-free zone ... We don't want any Israeli goods. We don't
want any Israeli services. We don't want any Israeli academics, coming to
the university or the college." But Thursday's drubbing in the
district with a large conservative Muslim community, seemed to turn on
issues much closer to home.
While he congratulated the Labour party on winning the seat, he seemed more peeved by "others who are already
celebrating: the venal, the vile, the racists and the Zionists will all be
celebrating."
Judging by social media reactions, people of all stripes seem to be
rejoicing at Galloway's humiliating loss.
Galloway promised we haven't seen the last of him:
"The hyena can bounce on the lion's grave but it can never be a
lion and in any case, I'm not in my grave. As a matter of fact I'm going
off now to plan the next campaign."
That's likely true. Galloway previously represented Bethnal Green in
Parliament before losing badly in 2010. He then won the Bradford West
seat in 2012.
