The UK branch of Democracy Exports, Inc., has officially purged one of its members. MP George Galloway is Labour no more after being “convicted” on four of the five following charges:
· he incited Arabs to fight British troops
· he incited British troops to defy orders
· he incited Plymouth voters to reject Labour MPs,
· he threatened to stand against Labour
· he backed an anti-war candidate in Preston
(Turns out he didn’t incite Plymouth voters to ditch Labour, so he isn’t a total monster.)
The “threatened to stand against Labour” charge is totalitarian clairvoyance at its very best, “related to claims that he was planning to stand as an independent against Labour in the next general election if he was expelled from the party.”
