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.
