Galloway's hypocrisy....
Ahhh....he argued that Le Pen shouldn't be allowed into the UK....
George Galloway, the British MP who’s been declared persona non grata by the Harper government, once demanded that Britain’s Labour government block a visit by far-right French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen.
But in 2004, the shoe was on the other foot. Then it was Galloway who argued, unsuccessfully, that David Plunkett, then Britain’s home secretary, should prevent Le Pen, the aging leader of the French National Front party, from entering Britain.
“Le Pen should not be allowed to set foot on to British soil at any time,” he said then.
“If the Home Secretary allows into this country someone who denies the Holocaust and who is on record as hating all Muslims, he will be siding with the neo-Nazi far-right against multicultural Britain.”
As well, there’s no sign Galloway objected last month when Britain denied entry to Geert Wilders, a Dutch member of Parliament who has compared the Koran to Mein Kampf and blamed Islamic texts for inciting the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Also, not a peep about Geert Wilders being blocked from addressing the House of Lords a few weeks ago.
I wish we (in the UK) could ban his re-entry in our country.
Kinda weakens his case to sue the Canadian government, eh.
Le Pen and Wilders are both crypto-fascists, it's right they should be banned, so I really don't see the hypocrisy. As a gay man, you should know better.
