Re: Galloway actually wanted the oil

I'm no fan of Galloway. I find the idea of this man insisting that he 'cannot survive on less than £150,000 a year' ludicrous, and offensive coming from a supposed socialist representing one of the poorest electorates in Britain.

He is a manic self-publicist and egotist.

And still morally he's head and shoulders above most of his parliamentary colleagues.

The oil allegations are old hat that he's successfully rebutted in court.

Guardian journalist Roy Greenslade - himself succesfully sued for libel by Galloway - wrote a really good article yesterday

He explains that most politicians are nice to the journailsts off mic and play the game. Galloway is the same all the time. That's integrity of a sort. It also means he's panned and smeared by every quarter of the media.
