At a hustings meeting on Wednesday Mr Galloway and his Labour opponent Oona King stood together to plead for less negative campaigning.Yikes, that’s about as negative as you can get.
Both candidates, contesting the Bethnal Green and Bow constituency, have required police protection.
Mr Galloway was allegedly "threatened with death" by Islamist extremists at a meeting on Tuesday evening.
The 40-strong mob apparently locked the door and denounced him as a "false prophet" and declared the sentence for this was "death".Nice to see that multiculturalism and assimilation of immigrants to the political and social norms of their new country is going swimmingly in the UK.

Respect is a coalition that grew out of socialist and trade union opposition to the Iraq war.
Maybe this will give Mr. Galloway some pause to rethink his politics……awhhh, you know I was just pulling your leg.
Here is a little background on what Mr. Galloway thinks his “great achievements are;
On his proudest achievement in parliament since 2001: "Having been a leader of the anti-war movement which built the biggest demonstrations in British history; having been right about Iraq; having made enemies like Tony Blair, Rupert Murdoch and Conrad Black; having defeated the Daily Telegraph in court; and having helped build Respect - the Unity Coalition."Bookworm
