George Galloway Speaks Out on Being Forced Into Exile After Criticizing Ukraine War

This podcast recap is from an interview featuring political commentator George Galloway, who begins by recounting his recent experience being detained and interrogated by UK anti-terrorism police at Gatwick airport regarding his public statements, broadcasts, and political views. Galloway stresses that this Kafkaesque detention, which he believes was a targeted attempt to silence his dissent, caused him severe stress, resulting in a recent cardiac condition and compelling him to remain abroad. Expanding on the state of the country, he criticizes the current political establishment in Britain and Europe for suppressing free speech and engaging in a self-destructive foreign policy focused on continuing the war with Russia. He notes that the traditional political left has embraced a pro-war stance and a prevailing liberal orthodoxy that overlooks domestic issues like collapsing social metrics and soaring abortion rates. Galloway concludes that hope for moral and democratic revival in Britain often rests with some conservative figures and ethnic minority communities who maintain traditional pro-family and pro-life views.
