Karl, one of the producers was on "This Week" with Andrew Neil, either last week or the week before and I think he said that they couldn't show George talking about Politics, as they would have to give the other parties air time, he also said GG was aware of this. Even if they did invite Uri Geller for the simple fact that he is Jewish, it still doesn't excuse GG racist remarks. Geller is the same as GG, he would go on any show and I have never seen him talking about Politics, the man is a bit of a loon.

What was GG's racist remark?

Well I'm totally up with Karl Marx on this one.

Uri Geller is not much of a celebrity these days, he has no connection to BB or CBB, he is not part of the cool contemporary commentators or writers or analysts who get invited on the show. Therefore, his invitation to appear was to taunt Galloway. I bloody hate Galloway, and he shouldn't have snapped (if he did) but it was like a red rag to a bull and it was deliberately manufactured.
Galloway might be bigotted and patronising and sort of racist but he's all for freedom of discussion and fairplay. That was not fairplay. It was a live and direct message to Israel.

"its only because your an israeli".

Racist or Xenophobic you decide, my point is that he shouldn't have said that, he could have called him a fraud, confidence trickster, loon spoon bender,popinjay, many Israelis share the same sort of ideals as George. Sometimes his mouth does him no favours, and hatred spews out and shows him for what he is. This is a man who thinks the killing of 11 Israeli atheletes was a mission for Palestinian "Freedom Fighters".

He should have rose above it, why react the way someone wants, or sets you up to.

What was the context?
The remark is not racist in itself.

Anyone who thinks we live in a fully democratic society is an idiot. The phrase 'it's a free country' infuriates me because it's simply not true. Of course, Americans delude themselves with this more than the British do. Just like what George said when he had his 'power' taken away from him, it's the same as George W Bush taking away people's power to vote because he knew they'd vote against him. Very undemocratic and racist, but hey it's white middle America.

The sooner we get a colony on the Moon the better. Get it governed by Pete Burns.

I completely agree. But maybe what he was saying to Uri was 'you weren't invited on this show to talk about CBB, it was only because you're Israeli'. That wouldn't have been a racist remark would it? It would have been him challenging Uri for the obvious only reason he was there. I think that is probably what happened, I don't think Galloway necessarily did loose his cool, so much as confront the reason for Uri's appearance and try to speak up.

I agree with what you say, but trust me, those in control will be off to the bloody moon, leaving the rest of us behind.

I wouldn't call it racist, I'd call it extremely paranoid.

For those of you interchanging the words Jewish and Israeli - they are not the same thing.
GG is pro-Palestine but I've not seen evidence of him being anti-semitic, I saw him share stages with Jewish people at anti-war events. Oh yeah, and his fave Pete Burns is Jewish by birth.

yeah, and its good old happy thinking people like yourself that let the grand manipulators get away with political and media coercion of the masses, cos it can't possibly be true can it? Bought and sold.

Don't forget Uri served in the IDF and George fights for Palestine...

Sorry.

Jewish and Israeli are not the same thing but the difference is barely worth noting and for that reason they are easily interchangeable.

If Uri Geller is anti-Palestinian and part of what a lot of people refer to as the 'illuminati' Jewish control of the mass media (representing Jewish-Israeli interests), then Galloway would be more aware of that than most and completely unable to do or say anything about it on a live show. Since Geller is not the type of guest they would normally have on BBBM, it would suggest the whole thing was a total set up. Since Geller is also the beneficiary of the media by presenting him as a legitimate psychic rather than the fraud he actually is, then it would seem to bear credit to that argument too.

"I'm more bent than any of your spoons ..."?

FFS IS Russell Brand a member of the Illuminati

How is Geller not the "normal" sort of guest? Since he was on I'm a celebrity I've seen him on all sorts of programmes related to reality TV and the other C4 standards like the Top 100 xxx

It's on now C4 if anyone didnt catch it before

The remark itself wasn't racist, the implications behind it seemed to be.Remember that GG is a supporter of SH who would like to wipe the State of Israel of the map.

From what i know of Mr Geller he moves in allegedly dodgy circles, but also tries to mix in $$$ money circles, i don't mean celeb money, i mean real money and i wouldn't trust his agenda at all. Very strange man in my opinion and arguably unbelieveably arrogant in person.

He is another one that the mass public just think is a z list nobody, harmless even, but i don't think he should be on tv.

BB have sunk to a new level, i didn't watch it today, feel quite better though having finally spent some time doing real life tasks.

And being Jewish and Israeli are very different things in this context, i know several Jews who are disgusted at what Israel has done, I have only ever heard one Israeli in my life condemn Israel for it's actions.

IIRC Gellar spent much of the intervening years from his first fame to now cosied up with people in the oil business who wanted to see if he had dowsing skills to locate oil bearing rocks so what you say rings true to me

Sounds like him and GG have something in common?

Its hard to put it how you want to on a place like this, he just shouldn't be greeted so willingly in my opinion by mr blogs in rl or on their tv's, when they don't know what they are getting involved in, if they do then that's fine, but programmes should not be in my opinion putting that on tv for people who don't know, if there was or is something to know that is.

But he is just on a long list i suppose so why stop this steady ............ .you can put in your own words im sure you can guess, sorry laws not my field i don't want to write any more in case im libel or something, or worse banned from here

If you're serious, I'd like to beat your head against a wall, for stupidity.

Not only are you wrong, but you're lazy as well.

Try a little research before posting "GG is a supporter of SH".
