Two assholes, one ring.

I don't like George Galloway. I don't like John Gaunt. They hate each other. This piece that I have gratuitously lifted from the Independent was passed on to me my Big Johnny

New father Galloway throws down the gauntlet
By Oliver Duff
Published: 15 May 2007

Trouble brewing in the sweaty corridors of talkSPORT. Two of the radio station's presenters, the cat-impersonating MP George Galloway and the ranting Sun columnist Jon Gaunt loathe one another. Galloway says he has tired of Gaunt's goading and wants to shed the right-wing motorgob's blood.

"He called me a coward," says Galloway, once an amateur boxer in Dundee. "So I've thrown down the gauntlet to him: five rounds in [the Bethnal Green boxing venue] York Hall with a referee of his choice and proceeds to a charity of his choice."

The MP says he received a text message on Saturday from someone purporting to be Gaunt, "saying that he didn't like the [suggested] Queensbury rules and that he'd prefer a sumo wrestling contest". Galloway, who was last night "watching Raging Bull and shadow boxing in the corner", adds: "I'm going to chase that wee fat piggy."

Gaunt hid from my calls yesterday. He "despises" the Respect MP, dismissing him as an "anti-American, anti-British buffoon". Galloway, in turn, considers Gaunt's opinionated discharges "crypto-fascist ... like Richard Littlejohn, without the intellect and the wit".

Pandora will be there ringside with the water bucket and bloodied sponge, collecting the broken teeth to give away as reader prizes.

As an aside, I take this opportunity to congratulate Gorgeous George on becoming a father for the second time. At 12.20pm on Sunday, in the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, his partner, Rima Husseini, gave birth to a baby boy. Fidel?

MakeGlobalJusticeHistory

One night in the Sports and Social, there was a group of chums getting merrily tipsy and, for some reason, a quite splendidly raucous few verses of Old McDonald ensued. There was Lord Lucan doing an impressive bull, my goodself doing a very ill chicken, A Source Close To The Bar doing a dolphin and Comrade Hamburger doing a w*nking duck. Quite the farm, I'm sure you'll agree. "But Barry why are you telling me this?", I hear you shout at the monitor. Well it's a long-winded method of introducing a brand-new Beef Source. This Northern gentleman did a mild, growling roar which was sort of half-Lion and half-Bull thus from this day forth he shall be known as LIBEL (geddit?). Anyway Libel has different tastes than me and was surfing the all-singing, all-dancing site of George Galloway MP. Indeed it is the MOTHER AND FATHER of all internet websites. Say what you want about the Gorgeous One but, when it is finished, his website will look pretty smart and anyone who has the MP3 of Edwin Starr's War on the front-page is ok with me. Well only sort of, I really don't care for Galloway that much.
There are some parts of the website which are yet to be completed so there's a message from Galloway instead. A message, which ends with a comment you perhaps wouldn't normally attribute to the Defender of the Oppressed (tm). See if you can spot the anomaly.

I hope you enjoy it this site. Once we've filled it with material, I hope it inspires you to get involved, to campaign against war, privatisation, cutbacks, racism, fascism and global justice.

So I hope you will all join Galloway in campaigning against global justice.

Update: On re-reading this post, I think you'd have to agree that the grammar in the sentence: "I hope you enjoy it this site" is lacking one fundamental necessity: it's wrong.
