Unusual truths from the left

George Galloway has written a book called "I'm not the only one". On page 119 he tells us that the late Robin Cook MP was "the head of MI6. When I was at university in the 1970's, I went to a meeting of the Communist Party. It was held in the city halls, above the old fruit market. The principal speaker was Robin Cook. All the communists present called him "comrade Cook" and deferred to him. The mind boggles? Eh? The future head of MI6 addressing a gathering of the Communist Party, it is straight out of a conspiracy theory, or is it?

Galloway also tells us that Dr. John Reid MP, who is (was) currently a Govt. minister, was also once a member of the Communist Party. Galloway calls him, their Sgt. Major. It seems Dr. reid has a fund of IRA songs, which he delights in singing when he's "boozed up" (which seems to be rather often if we can believe Galloway). George Galloway seems to be undergoing some kind of identity crisis as he asks in his book;

"Which is my country for example?

Scotland, where I was born?

Great Britain, the state from which I draw my citizenship?

(and his fat salary plus MP's expences!)

Ireland from where my family came?

Or from Palestine, Cuba, Vietnem, Nicaruga or any of the other places Which I fought for?"

Galloway reminds me of Sir Walter Scott:

"Lies there a man with soul so dead, who never to himself said this is my own, my native land."

George Galloway gives the appearence of being such a man, a dead soul, debased with the plague of Marxism, to feel hatred & contempt for his own nation (which nevertheless pays him a very high remuneration - the former tory MP Alan Clark said that Westminister MP's get £140,000 per year in wages & expences).

Galloway himself says "my flag is red, my country is the future!"

So its all 'pie, apple pie in the sky, by and by'. Reds like Galloway promise us the earth. Meanwhile he solicits our votes to keep him in a comfortable job, living the sweet life and indulging in his political fantacies.

He reminds me of one true "lefty" believer who went to the USSR on a conducted tour. At the end of the visit he gushed like a child, "I have seen the future, and it works".

Well, it's not working now is it? All the formally staunch Communist lands of the Soviet Bloc which once trumpeted Internationalism now propagate Nationalism. Yet the Left in Britain cling to their failed system of Internationalism. It escapes their minds that Internationalism merely lays the foundations for Globalism & a One World system of Finance Capitalist Monopoly.
