Zionists Supress Freedom of Speech. Galloway taken off air! Print E-mail
Monday, 05 January 2009

What else will Israel do to suppress our freedoms...

Brothers, sisters & friends,

Assalamu Alaykum,

Israels ground invasion of the Gaza strip has started. As Israel continues its' brutality, let us continue our support for the Palestinian people and pressure on our government ad media.

2. Galloway taken off air!
George Galloway's popular radio show which goes out every Friday and Saturday from 10pm has been cancelled without warning tonight - and without a full explanation to his vast army of listeners.

The only conclusion drawn so far, is that this is an unprecedented attack on freedom of speech and the sort of censorship we have come to expect from dictatorships, certainly not democracies.
SGS - Stop Gaza Slaughter, founded by peace activists Ghada Razuki and Yvonne Ridley believe this is just part of the Zionist onslaught on anyone who disagrees with the brutal actions of the Israeli military.
Yvonne Ridley said: "I called Talksport tonight and asked them why George Galloway's show had been cancelled. I was told that they were introducing replacement host Ian Collins so he could bring some 'independent coverage' to the situation in Gaza.

"This is an outrage and direct interference with a popular host's show simply because he does not tow the line as far as the Zionists are concerned and he gives voice to those who would not ordinarily have their pro-Palestinian views heard or even tolerated.

"This is not a victory for anyone, even the enemies of Galloway who often phone in to challenge his opinions, but it is a disaster for free speech and a free media. Sadly it is another blow for freedom of expression in Gordon Brown's Britain."

If you want to challenge Talksport about the decision to axe Galloway's show last night call 0871 722 3344 and make your views heard.

He might be popular as a host but that does not, certainly does not in this case, mean quality, unbiased and informative discussion on this issue.

Truly outrageous. I have send the network the following e-mail:

Dear Sirs,

I am outraged to learn that you have cancelled George Galloway's popular talk show that goes out every Friday and Saturday at 10:00 p.m. I have also learned from Yvonne Ripley that your reason for doing so and I quote her: "I was told that they were introducing replacement host Ian Collins so he could bring some 'independent coverage' to the situation in Gaza".

I am simply appalled by your justification. George Galloway is well known for his outspoken views on the plight of of the people of Iraq and Palestine, a view that is widely shared by a very large section of the British public. This is a blatant attack on our right to free speech and expression. Simply put, your action amounts to nothing less than a censorship of any views that is not in line with Zionist peddled propaganda, which in the absence of any other information, I can only assume that you have fallen prey to.

I would therefore urge you to do the only decent thing possible by re-instating George Galloway to talk show.

Yours faithfully

T Khan

Just received this response from the the radio station:

Dear Mr Khan,
Your facts are very incorrect. George Galloway has not gone anywhere and
can be heard as usual on Friday and Saturday nights.

Kindest,

I don't want to ban anybody who has something informative and helpful to say, my point was about quality not personalities as such. If there is a bias in the UK media at least, its towards the Palestinians.

Whilst we are on the subject you would be very very hard pressed to find a Muslim country anywhere that presents an unbiased view on Gaza or indeed on anything

Wrote to George Galloway about the responses from talkSPORT. He says: "I wasn't on holiday of course since I was at the march and rally in support of Palestine.
They chose to put Ian Collins on last week and I will return on Friday and Saturday this week". It looks like they side stepped my question and frankly lied to astroscope.
