Gets Galloway’s Viva!

George Galloway, formerly (?) a leading figure in, amongst others, the Stop the War Coalition, is a star columnist on the far-right site, Westmonster.

Yesterday he wrote this patriotic piece;

Galloway: Lords push to undo Brexit as voted for by the British people is an act of high treason

This act of political arson will be seen in hindsight as having lit a fuse on a mountain of democratic gunpowder. The subsequent political explosion will make Guy Fawkes look like a mere effigy. The House of Lords, which partied long into the night at your expense last week, is fiddling while the anger of the British people slowly burns. Nursing their wrath to keep it warm…

Now his attention and enthusiasm has turned to Italy’s Five Star Movement, Movimento 5 Stelle.

Italy’s president to turn to 5-Stars to lead coalition talks amid impasse

Italy’s president is launching another round of consultations to try to overcome the impasse from inconclusive March 4 elections. Sergio Mattarella is expected to turn to the populist 5-Star Movement to head up talks, AP reports. President the 5-Star president of the lower chamber of deputies, Roberto Fico, was summoned to the Quirinale Palace on Monday. Mattarella will likely give Fico a mandate to explore the possibilities of finding an alliance that can win a parliamentary majority. Previous rounds have failed. The 5-Stars were the biggest single vote-getter in the March 4 vote, but finished behind a center-right coalition made up of the right-wing League, Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia and a smaller party. That centre-right alliance won a regional election Sunday in southern Molise, boosting its standing in national talks.
