Cannot send private messages.

faceless - I've just tried to send you a message 12 or 13 times, and every time it failed, telling me to change the subject line.

I did, and it still failed.

It's been doing this to me for 2 weeks. I've been trying to mail you about me ending all involvement with George's website, but every single ...

The "Scottish woman" bit is true. I think it's just one of those things that gets messed up when in the middle of an interview; he honestly does know he didn't make it up and only popularised it, and cos there's no mileage to be gained in him deliberately claiming credit for it (it's not as if he's ...

Actually, it's a good point. One of the reasons I was reticent about starting to post here is, people should be able to discuss what they think of what George does without worrying about whether George likes what he hears or not (I'm not here to spy, I'm sure that's obvious - I act out my Stalinist ...

I do get my news from BBC, C4, Sky etc. But I try to get headlines first, then anticipate the story, then try to filter out the crap as I read/see the story.

I think it's essential for people to read the mainstream media - it's really important in seeing how the system tries to shape how we think ...

That ain't gonna happen. Just look at any blog that mentions his name, and you immediately get his online stalkers coming along with their just-inside-the-law libels, and even outright libels (knowing that were George to sue everyone who defamed him, he'd spend his life in court).

It's a shame, cos ...

Making a subscribable podcast for Galloway shows

Hey everyone.

Now we've got a better internet setup and I can record the GG radio show to sound a little less like it was recorded in a toilet, I've been thinking about whether to make it available via RSS.

At the moment, people can come to the site and download the show. But (bear with me as I ...

Well, everything's transferred over now. Again, thanks to everyone for recommendations, and apologies that I didn't get the chance to check them out.

So far, so good. Small technical issues about doing online forms (we're still using Servage's back-end form processing script for that), but overall ...

I'm gonna get on to the programme people and ask for DVDs. As usual, if I get it, faceless will get it as soon as I've taken all the credit and made myself look great cos of it.

I loved his series in the UK, but I get so sick of the fast-cut editing of US reality programmes, and the whole presentational style.

If you watch Hell's Kitchen in the US, they cut out so much, and leave in so much "coming up..." fluff and "previously..." fluff, there's very little content.

Not ...

Sorry, I (uber-teamaker at georgegalloway.com) didn't know til it was all almost over.

To be honest, the lack of information is a sign of just how successful George and Respect's campaigning is. We are so inundated with stuff, we just aren't getting the time to deal with things like this. People in ...

Brown Sauce - absolutely; the point I was making wasn't really on this issue. It's on the fact that for most votes, MPs are just lobby fodder, and as a constituent of George's I'd far rather he be doing stuff here than waiting for a vote the result of which is a foregone conclusion.

Saying that ...

You can bet that if the government had allowed a vote - which they didn't - then when the vote was called, you'd suddenly have seen hundreds of Labour MPs lining up to vote with Blair.

See, I'm with George on the whole Parliament thing. I've never seen someone work as hard for constituents ad him ...

Well, the problem appears to be solved - came home from work yesterday and found out that a new deal had been signed with some company or other anyway before I'd even had a chance to look at other options. 1and1 is the company, "business hosting" is the package.

Any views?
