George Galloway claims police entered his home in 'dirty tricks' op

[Dennis the 'Bloody Peasant']

Aw George, you really think you're worth all that effort? Someone has sex with your aide and it has to be all about you?
Sorry, maybe it is possible that this is part of a campaign to smear a potential threat to HM Government; the left-wing titan who brought about the 'Bradford Spring'.
OK, seriously, I was going to try to offer a less biased opinion or thought but when it comes to this clown, I just can't do it.

Respect MP George Galloway has accused a senior police officer of entering his home without consent as part of a "dirty tricks operation" against him.
Mr Galloway claims the counter-terrorism officer slept with his Parliamentary aide under his roof, set up fake e-mail accounts and a Facebook alias in a campaign to discredit him.
The MP has urged the home secretary to look into the matter.
The accused officer has been put on "restricted duties," the Met said.
The move, which removes the officer from front line operational responsibilities, is a standard procedure when a complaint is made and pending the outcome of an internal investigation.
Mr Galloway was re-elected to Parliament in March following a stunning victory in a by-election in Bradford West.
The MP is claiming the officer, part of the Metropolitan Police's SO15 counter-terrorism branch, entered his south London home "without his knowledge or consent" as part of an "apparent dirty tricks operation" against him.

Why are you immediately dismissing his claims?

[helot]

Probably because Galloway is a joke...

That isn't answering much.

think this is highly probable - remember his US appearance? he is loathed

[Dennis the 'Bloody Peasant']

I suppose it is possible and if it is true I hope those responsible are reprimanded...apologies but my own prejudice to the absurd ego-maniac that is Mr Galloway does make me suspicious of any claim made by him. No doubt he is hated by many, but he is not a legitimate threat to anyone, no matter how he inflates his own importance / relevance in his own mind.

His line on China (calling it "a socialist country") makes it clear that his politics have gaping holes and/or are ultimately ridiculous or shit, but otherwise I don't understand why RevLeft hates him so much.

And it seems like something a cop might do.

[brigadista]

he is no worse or better than the other MPs

he's a rape apologist, encouraged grassing up anarchists and other genuine communists at the time of the anti-poll tax movement, has, as you said, shit politics (tho arguably no worse than a lot of people on revleft.

It was just my idle speculation

Don't forget that he's an apologist for the Iranian govt's oppression of LGBT people.

But he's probably right in his claims, no matter how distasteful his political views.
