George Galloway’s Russian ramblings

With global tensions running high amid Russia’s continued bombardment of Ukraine, cool heads are needed now more than ever. Alternatively, we could instead listen to George Galloway. The fedora-rocking serial candidate advises his 400,000 Twitter followers that ‘the US is about to stage a false-flag #WMD incident in #Ukraine’. No word as of yet where Gorgeous George got this tip off. He of all people should know about ‘sexed-up’ intelligence.

In recent months Galloway has been dedicating much of his time to his talk show Sputnik, which he co-hosts with his wife Gayatri on Russia Today. It’s like Richard and Judy if every title in their book club was self-published and about Western imperialism. It’s fair to say George has not had a good war so far. Not least because just a month ago he insisted there wasn’t going to be a war. In the sassy-hectoring tone of a TikTok e-girl about to explain why your use of ‘guys’ is problematic, he tweeted:

Y’all said #Russia was about to invade #Ukraine.
