The former Respect Member of Parliament George Galloway has been granted permission to sue Google over a YouTube film of a protest where he was described as a “tramp” and “scumbag” who supported Islamic terrorists beheading British and American citizens. George Galloway – most famous in America for his testimony before the U.S. Senate in 2005, though most famous in Britain for being a cat – had been appearing at an event billed as ‘Saturday Night with George Galloway’ in August 2014 when the protest, prompted by an earlier reference of his to Bradford being an ‘Israel-free zone’, was filmed. Mr. Galloway claims Willie Frazer — a campaigner for victims of Irish republican violence — slandered his name with a series of “vitriolic, abusive, sectarian and wholly untrue speeches” made directly to camera and also by megaphone to fellow demonstrators. Claims of him being a “scumbag” and a “tramp” were made, and it was said that he is anti-Protestant and supports Islamic terrorists who behead British and American citizens. Footage allegedly broadcast on YouTube by Mr. Frazer was said to have been viewed over 17,000 times. Mr Galloway categorically denies all such allegations and today a High Court judge dismissed attempts by Google — YouTube’s owners — to stop him serving libel and
