'''George Galloway''' (August 16, 1954, [[Dundee]]) is an extreme [[left-wing]] [[Scotland|Scottish]] politician and the [[Respect]] Member of Parliament (MP) for Bethnal Green and Bow, in [[London]] (although he is commonly referred to in the media as the "member for Baghdad North"). He was expelled from the [[Britain|British]] [[Labour party]] in October 2003 for bringing the party into disrepute. The party charged that Galloway incited [[Arab]]s to fight British troops and also incited British troops to defy the orders of their officers. The party's National Constitutional Committee was unanimous in its guilty verdict.<ref>"Labour statement on Galloway" [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3208755.stm ''BBC News''] October 23, 2003</ref>

Galloway first entered politics aged 26 in his home town, where he ordered the [[PLO]] flag to be flown over the town hall and withdraw the city's civic hospitality to visiting [[NATO]] warships. The political editor of one major [[British]] newspaper has gone on record as saying: "''Galloway is a silver-tongued bully who has always been surrounded by a cloud of suspicion over his shifty activities, his manipulation of other people’s cash and his readiness to punch anyone he could not sue...A congenital liar, his favourite defence trick was total denial. If that failed, he would claim he had been misquoted.''"<ref>'''Kavanagh, Trevor''' "Paid to be a traitor" ''The Sun'' (2006)</ref>
