What's truly terrifying is not that men like George Galloway exist - we've seen many ranting lunatics in the media and politics, on both sides of the Atlantic. Nor is the terrifying thing comprised of the various public sentiments that he's espoused, nor the type of nightmarish world he envisions should his policies be adopted - repulsive as all those things are.
The disturbingly awful thing about George Galloway is that there is an entire constituency of people that actually voted for him. A localized population that, amongst all available choices, said "this is the best man to speak for us!"
I'm not familiar with Bethnal Green, and I've never been there. But I suggest to all residents of neighboring British communities to demand an inquiry into whether hallucinogenic drugs are regularly pumped into the groundwater there. Or perhaps it's a giant enclosed mental asylum, like a penal-colony for the deranged? Or maybe Bethnal Green is a big reality-TV project produced by Fox, where the citizens are all contestants to see who could be zanier politically?
