Galloway Attacks Clegg As Cameron's 'Political Catamite'

The Huffington Post UK  |  By Posted: 14/05/2012 16:14 Updated: 14/05/2012 16:20

Respect MP George Galloway has branded Nick Clegg David Cameron’s “political catamite”.

Writing in Holyrood Magazine, Galloway used the term when describing Cameron and Clegg's recent Q&A in Essex.

"If there is a symbol of how out of touch the Prime Minister and his political catamite are it’s the tractor factory setting, clearly dreamed up by some public school spin doctor who has never been downwind of a smokestack," he wrote.

The term "catamite" refers to "a boy kept for homosexual practices" by an older man.

Galloway also questioned whether the coalition is a "marriage, or [a] knee-trembler".

This comes as he has proposed, in the same piece, that there should be a second question in the Scottish referendum calling for more devolved powers instead of secession.

Boy it is truly amazing what British politicians can get away with when they go for the big words - that would never happen in America - for example, you would have never heard the phrase "George W. Bush is Dick Cheney's political catamite" - why you ask? Well, because the vast majority of Americans don't know what a catamite is and why it might be a bad thing.

For the record, I am an American but I own a dictionary which automatically classifies me as not a Republican.

In that couple I'd have to say Cameron is the "bottom".

Thanks George for that image lol.

I reckon now Clegg had hoped one day the 'tail would eventually wag the dog', but not gonna happen. 'Delusions of grandeur' if you please.

Anyone who sucks up to Muslim extremists shouldnt be listened to, he once said " Let anyone who touches the Hijab of a Muslim woman find themselves surrounded by 10,000 dead bodies "... is that not inciting racial hatred ??.. no because it is ok to hate White Christians isnt it ???.... This guy is a mentally disturbed. " Shall I be a Muslim cat now ".

love or loathe him Galloway does say the the things which other Politicians only think they should or would like to say.

If you take away he bizarre allegiances and his inability to be in a party amongst others ( I know its a lot to ignore for the sake of an argument... but just indulge me please, for a moment) and you'll realise that there is some weird logic in what he says.

Just like Enoch when he was berated for his views - his views may not have been PC or appropriate but by God they ware relevant then as they are today. There's something to be said for having the courage and self-belief to say what you think even though it may be going against the grain.
