Workers Party of Britain | @WorkersPartyGB
That today our leader @georgegalloway was detained under the auspices of the Terrorist Act comes as no surprise. This is not the first time the establishment has attacked us, nor will it be the last as long as we pursue the interests of the working class.
British imperialism is in decay, crippled with mounting contradictions both at home and abroad it is exposing its own barbarism and tyranny. The genocide in Palestine has been live-streamed and 350,000 British workers have been sacrificed on the altar of austerity - the Emperor has no clothes.
In its monstrous naked condition it is meeting resistance to its crimes by scuttling the last vestiges of liberal freedoms. Freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and peaceful civil disobedience all lay on the scrap heap of what was always the brittle veneer of a capitalist regime.
The historic task set before us all is the democratic struggle, against the regime, and its suffocating laws that now censor and chafe all political and civic life. This struggle will expose the limitations of the system, chief amongst them that rights, liberties and freedoms are not merely gifted, they must be won.

Let's get back to the topic: he was arrested for political reasons using extreme counterterrorism laws. As a progressive, you should oppose political imprisonment and the use of counterterrorism laws to undermine civil liberties.
He's a man with deep ties to the Russian state, a state active in trying to undermine British democracy and society, who was briefly detained on returning from Moscow.
Of all the examples of the misuse of anti-terror laws, and there's been a lot in recent times in the UK, this is by far the least egregious.
Do the same with politicians that support israel and are payed by zionists lobby. Also how many in the far right protests was arrestwd for extermism and for calling violence on minorities?
He really isn't.
That username is the biggest red flag I've ever seen.
A real political party for the working class of Britain.
The Workers Party of Britain:
… and we offer so much more than this …^[[1] https://workerspartybritain.org/manifesto-britain-deserves-better/]
Do you think I don't know what the Workers' Party platform is? Having some socialist policies doesn't make you progressive, they literally describe themselves as anti-woke.
Are you just going to gloss over them being a bunch of climate change deniers?
You missed a major problem the push for green tech faces.
The 'Workers Party' of Britain are for helping the poor and working class, not for making them poorer and imposing policies and laws that will make them struggle more with increasing costs.
I like the way China is doing it: a massive push for green tech and domestic competition so as to lower the cost for all. It is not perfect, but it is much better than others I have heard of.
No, they're climate change deniers. They just dress it up in some socialist dressing. Not addressing climate change is the most anti-worker thing you can do, as it's workers (especially in the global south) who'll pay the price.
It's also completely disconnected from reality, green policies lower bills. If Britain wasn't so dependent on gas, households wouldn't have suffered so much from the shooting up of energy prices after the invasion of Ukraine. Funny that the party fronted by someone who used to do a show on Russian state propaganda network RT doesn't want to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
You are putting establishment and MSM talking points, propaganda, and bias into this.
Green Tech was pushed by oligarchs for their companies.
Example: Elon Musk and Tesla was a major one. Instead of pushing mass transit. Lobbying and paid-off politicians will always put profits over peoplAgain, China has done it the correct way. Forcing companies to compete and lowering the price.
They are also heavily investing in their infrastructure so as to not hurt their people as they add green energy.
Again, putting their people first, while increasing green energy.

RT is no worse or better than our main stream media we are born into. No one is above being propagandized.
There are many award winning independent journalists that worked in RT USA until it got censored and taken down by the duopoly and the oligarchs.
I have communities for some.
However you also offer conspiracy theorist, Kremlin stooge and cat impersonator George Galloway, which is enough to make anyone throw up their cornflakes.
Campaining for the reintroduction of destructive industry and for climate change denialism, cosying up to famously liberal Al-Quaeda, guest of imperialist Putin at his military parade this year, fawning fan of Iran and Hamas (who are both so progressive they relieve women of the burden of free expression and assembly, and LGBTQs of the burden of their lives).
There may be a credible socialist party in Britain. This aint it. Its like someone saw a Viz cartoon about the patrons of a flat-roofed pub, and thought that is who the working class actually are, and built a party targeting them. Basically Reform for the other side.
We all have our preferred propaganda sources.
I will continue to support and follow George Galloway.
He is truly for the working class.
The smears and pushback are normal when you challenge the establishment, status quo, and oligarchs.
We have the same problem in the United States; Bernie Sanders, AOC, Democrats, and Republicans work full time to stop any true leftists from gaining power, but third parties are winning at the local level.
Example: Just look at how they treat the Green Party in the USA. I have posted what the duoply does to stop them from showing up in elections snd muxh more.
Russiagate hoaxes continue to be pushed as a sad attempt to scapegoat their sorry excuses for losing election, Trump and Genocide Joe.
Galloway rejects suggestions of being leftist. He is proudly socially conservative.
