Moron

The Respect MP George Galloway has said it would be morally justified for a suicide bomber to murder Tony Blair.

In an interview with GQ magazine, the reporter asked him: “Would the assassination of, say, Tony Blair by a suicide bomber - if there were no other casualties - be justified as revenge for the war on Iraq?”

Mr Galloway replied: “Yes, it would be morally justified. I am not calling for it - but if it happened it would be of a wholly different moral order to the events of 7/7. It would be entirely logical and explicable. And morally equivalent to ordering the deaths of thousands of innocent people in Iraq - as Blair did.”

Thanks to Michael for sending this one in. I note that Galloway is already denying it on his webshite.

But I’ve made my position clear. I would not support anyone seeking to assassinate the Prime Minister. That’s why I said in the interview I would report to the authorities any such plot that I knew of.

Since the interviewer in question was Piers Morgan, lovingly referred to as Piers “Morgan” Moron by Private Eye, one could argue the whole thing is a waste of time and not worth more than a mention. Duly noted.

    Piers Morgan’s (auto? - can’t remember)biography is an absolutely riveting read according to my brother, who loathes the man. He says what you learn about the world of politics and journalism is just totally fascinating. Sounds like it could be right up your alley.
