Boy I’d love a video of this!

George Galloway has attacked Jack Straw for his veil comments
Islamophobia is a problem that must be addressed, MP George Galloway has told his Respect party’s annual conference in North London.
Mr Galloway’s speech focused on the treatment of Muslims in Britain.

He singled out Jack Straw, who sparked a row when he revealed he asks Muslim women wearing veils to his surgery if they would consider removing them.

Mr Galloway said Mr Straw had joined “the Dutch auction in New Labour of who can be most beastly to a minority”.

Following criticism about his comments from some Muslim groups, Mr Straw defended his position, saying that he felt full-face veils were a “visible statement of separation”.
