George Galloway made a passionate defence of the Union between Scotland and England in a nine minute speech at a debate organised by The Spectator earlier this week.
The MP for Bradford West argued that the SNP are pushing for people to gamble with their children’s future on the basis of dwindling oil revenues, and complained about the abuse hurled at author JK Rowling for daring to support the Better Together campaign.
He concluded:
“[The SNP] want you to re-fight a battle seven hundred years ago between two French speaking Kings with Scottish people on both sides. I prefer to remember a rather more recent battle…If we had not stood, but capitulated, like others had done before us, we’d be having this meeting this evening in German, if we were going to have it at all.”
