Petition Update
Galloway Will Not Be Charged

15 Oct 2014 — I am sure you will all be disappointed but many not surprised to learn the news that George Galloway will not face criminal proceedings.
West Yorkshire Police have issued a statement saying - "West Yorkshire Police always takes complaints of hate offences seriously and wants victims and witnesses to come forward with confidence, knowing that any reported incidents will be thoroughly investigated.
"West Yorkshire Police has recorded this matter as a hate incident."
Except they don't take it seriously, clearly. In my view, and I hope in the view of the petitioners, this matter was a relatively straightforward one on which a decision could have been made quite swiftly. The facts of the case were there for all to see. Not only was there a prima facie case but there is sufficient background evidence of what the CPS guidelines refer to as 'bad character' or 'reprehensible behaviour'. Examples of such behaviour are as follows:
1. Handing over $5000 in cash to Hamas, a proscribed terrorist organisation. He was not prosecuted for this because, as Galloway knows, he did it beyond the criminal jurisdiction of England and Wales
2. In 2009 Galloway was denied entry to Canada on “security grounds” because of his work with Palestinian charities. One of those charities is Interpal. Galloway made a very public proclamation that he was donating part of his Big Brother appearance fee to Interpal. At the time he did this, the organisation was under investigation for providing funds to terrorist organisations responsible for bus bombs in Jerusalem.
Interpal is part of group of charities headed up by Yusuf Qaradawi who said that the money is not charity it is “Jihad with money”. Galloway announced his cash donation to Hamas Ismail Haniya as “this is not charity! This is not charity!” The inference could not be more clear.
3. Another charity that Galloway was closely involved in was the Mariam Appeal. This was also investigated and Galloway has to this date never given a full and detailed account of where that charity money came from or where it ended up.
4. This week we hear that the Charity Commission have appointed an interim manager to a third charity that Galloway is involved in, Viva Palestina because of concerns about its financial management.
5. Galloway has previously refused to debate on a platform at Oxford University when it was discovered he would be debating an Israeli.
Finally, S.5 of the Public Order Act does not require an intention. All it requires is that someone is ‘likely’ to be caused harassment, alarm or distress. The fact that his comments and his past and present behaviour have undoubtedly caused harassment alarm and distress surpassed beyond doubt the Crown’s own charging standard.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for taking the time and trouble in signing this petition, almost 22000 of you from all over the world. The petition failed, you didn't. West Yorkshire Police and the Crown Prosecution Service did.

Yet this same CPS, places people in prison on remand where they are ill treated and refuse medication, then offers no evidence at the trial, yet they are still held. Their crime whistle blowing on paedophiles -it appears it all depends on the political agenda -- not truth. WELCOME TO POLICE STATE BRITAIN UNDER CAMERON AND MAY. Note CAMERON - THE MAN WHO AT THE U.N. LIKENED BIBICAL PROPHESY TO TERRORISM! Yet allows those who support terrorism. walk free.
