Sab. Nice Video on indefatigable and lionheart George! He is popular, freedom fighter, lovable character, won many hearts with large following of fanatics in politics and as a celebrity; so what more can you demand on "good role model" 
ALSO NOT ALL MEN CAN CARRY BAGGAGE OF LOADS OF WOMEN; ESPECIALLY HAVING FOUR WIVES? ONLY "SUPERMEN" or "X-MEN" CAN
ENJOY YOUR LIFE GEORGE! ISN'T IT GREAT TO "LIVE AND LET LIVE"
QUOTES ON GREATNESS;
quote:
""Show me a man who cannot bother to do little things and I'll show you a man who cannot be trusted to do big things." Lawrence D. Bell"
"Man is only truly great when he acts from his passions." Benjamin Disreali "
"There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet." William F. Halsey"
"Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them." William Shakespeare
"No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of great men." Thomas Carlyle"
""The price of greatness is responsibility." Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill
"I can't believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary." Lou Holtz "

Thanks and HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND TO ALL
FINALLY ON GREATNESS QUOTES;
quote:
""Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood." Ralph Waldo Emerson"
""The man who is anybody and who does anything is surely going to be criticized, vilified, and misunderstood. This is a part of the penalty for greatness, and every great man understands it; and understands, too, that it is no proof of greatness. The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure contumely without resentment." Elbert Green Hubbard"

| What about some views from you now Sister Omega ? (or any other female reader of Bantaba in Cyberspace for that matter) a woman's point of view ,for or against,would be very interesting to me, you Sister Omega by your postings are a staunch supporter of George's way of doing things, therefore you must surely agree with the recent postings of Kobo and sab. Will any female reader bother to post, I doubt it. |

His political life is asset on personal profile!
In politics, the "fanatics" are those with extreme enthusiasm and impressed with him; using his political platform at forefront for fierce advocacy and aggressive leadership on Global anti-war campaigns, human rights and justice? HE IS THEIR CHAMPION |

OK,let me make a modification to my previous post asking for female bantaba readers to put their point of view to read, any poster other than kobo or sab,I would prefer a female point of view,but of course being bantaba in cybrerspace ANY sex of person can express their thoughts and give their opinion freely,I am not sexist,but I do believe that women are able to filter out unnecessary stuff and deal with specifics better than men in most cases,and yes Margaret Thatcher in her early years was the greatest until she became consumed with the power bug and fell to pieces. (maybe a female politico will post now )

Gally is a cool Dude. The people of Tower Hamlets thought so and now the people of Bradford do. He says what he thinks and means what he says. Galloway is refreshing for British politics' He spoke out about the Iraq invasion and was proved right. You may disagree with him however one thing is for sure he doesn't tolerate fools glady. Go gally!

Peace

Consider drama as extracurricular activities, living in 21st century British society, hired and/or paid thousands of pounds to act and entertain the public; which he did very well (especially "cat" thriller in BB and selling his ideals); argued that celebrity BB boost his popularity plus being in same league with powerful world leaders like George Bush, Tony Blair, Sadaam Hussein (amongst others) for any academic discussion in world politics and history to judge? Powerful forces tried to snare him and destroy him but Galloway is a winner when he testified to the United States Senate in 2005 over alleged illicit payments from the United Nations' Oil for Food Programme to Iraq
