On June 10, 2007 Galloway was the victim of an attack by 6 men at [[Glasgow]] Airport. He said afterwards: "''It was a terrifying experience and quite disgraceful for these people to behave like this. There was one guy I would describe as a ringleader who said, 'I don't like your radio talk, I don't like your newspaper talk, I have a religious duty to knock you down'.''"<ref>"Galloway tells of mob attack" [http://news.scotsman.com/politics.cfm?id=911832007 ''The Scotsman''] June 11, 2007</ref>

On 29 March 2012, Galloway stood in a by-election in Bradford West (traditionally a solidly Labour constituency, with a high percentage of [[Muslim]] voters), again representing the Respect Party (although the party is so small that he was effectively an independent candidate). To general surprise, he was elected,<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-17549388 BBC News]</ref> having campaigned on an anti-war, pro-Muslim ticket and capitalised very effectively on widespread disenchantment with the mainstream parties.
