Galloway Reveals Follow-The-Leader Parliament On Prime Time TV (moved from ATSNN)

During Friday night prime time TV George Galloway claims British politics is a "parliament of poodles" and use "an electronic pager which tells them what to say about the issues of the day". Galloway also states he is fighting the rich and powerful who control the media.



Galloway is a brave man for speaking out against the powers that be. We should support those who manage to slip through the cracks of the corporate media. I transcribed this interview for those who may have missed it and to document the statements he made. Although Anne Robinson tries to turn a very real issue into a joke and slightly discredit Galloway, his argument is just as strong as seen last month at the US Senate.

This is relatively old news - it has been reported before that pagers alert Ministers (cabinet and otherwise) to *the message of the day*. I'm not therefore surprised that it has extended to even lower ranks - although with the make up of the current parliamentary labour party it remains to be seen whether the use of pagers will help Tony Blair.

And the media being controlled by a powerful few? Few surprises there either.

I voted for it because despite the fact I despise the man's politics - I also think he's doing a service to the country by constantly commenting on the lies,corruption and hypocrisy that is at the heart of this Blair government .
