Gideon Falter, writing in the Jewish Chronicle newspaper has a firm message for those people that believe that the election of transphobic political maverick George Galloway in the Rochdale by election is somehow a victory for progressive politics. Mr Falter writes "Perhaps remarkably, Mr Galloway is not only able to excite Islamists and the far-left, but also the far-right. His electoral success has been hailed as a “huge victory” by none other than Nick Griffin, the former BNP Leader, who has a history of Holocaust-denial. And why would he not crow about this “huge victory”? After all, Mr Galloway recently ranted about the “hold” Israel has over British politics, in words redolent of Mr Griffin’s own obsessive rhetoric." Mr Galloway has also angered feminists for his single minded opposition to abortion rights.
