Who needs enemies with friends like George Galloway?

Galloway defends Assange as offensively and stupidly as possible.

Oh jesus. I couldn't even keep reading after the first few paragraphs. What a disgusting man he is.

Although generally associated with the political left, Galloway is becoming increasingly strongly identified with socially conservative positions, & has recently become preoccupied with defending the RC Church from all criticism (squeezing it into a piece about Assange was just bizarre).
