ABOUT GEORGE GALLOWAY:
Few contemporary politicians have attracted as much controversy as George Galloway. A Labour MP from 1987 to 2003, he was an outspoken critic of the policies of Tony Blair and New Labour, in particular the decision to invade Iraq. Fiery comments such as "the best thing British troops can do is to refuse to obey illegal orders" saw Galloway expelled from the Labour Party. But Galloway returned to the political fray by founding the Respect Party and winning Bethnal Green and Bow in the 2005 General Election. Mr Galloway re-entered Parliament in this March as MP for Bradford West and has recently provoked controversy and criticism with his comments on the rape charges against Wikileaks' Julian Assange.
ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. It has been established for 189 years, aiming to promote debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.

If I ever get nicked I want George as my lawyer.
I want this man to give a speech at my funeral
Me 2 ... he’s the people people
@uiqbal11 well said, brother

Hope you enjoy the prison food then.
When he said “don’t shake your head, you’re talking nonsense” I pressed like.
And I pressed yours

And i pressed mine :)
Gigachad moment
I laughed when he said that because they have no real response other than not liking his answer.
That kid knows nothing. I expect him to be head of news and current affairs at the bbc within 5 years.
He's very ignorant indeed. Dunno how he sneaked in
😂😂🤣
he sounds like a batty boy so he will definitely do well at the bbc
I hope he was not accepted by Oxford as a student. Total lack of critical thinking and total lack of information and data.
Ha ha ha! Good one!
I will never tire of how Galloway trashes his critics
Because the cia ousted Chavez genius
When he knows the audience is his side, all patrolling each other, the Asian guy on the table all worried in demonstrate support and laugh from his ironies to humiliate the asker.... yeah it's easy trashing somebody . Oxford led the decadence
And teaches them respect at the same time !!
Ah yes because venaswalia is such a good democrasy
Just entertains me how you can stop listening for a few years, come back to him talking about something completely different, and it's like he never ended his last rant.
The way he's holding that mic is the weirdest thing about this
I thought exactely the same thing
Yeah I was thinking that as well
he wants to blow it
+NoR3m0rs3 Hey couldn't resist blurting out his pun.
Yessss!
Like him or not he is one hell of a public speaker and debater
Matt C - By being a Far Left Demagogue.
that doesn't make anything he said about Venezuela true, in fact, nothing he said about Venezuela aged well.
Well he absolutely is not. Even tho I probably align with him politically (only recently stumbled over the guy, beeing a German) I must say he shows all signs of a horrible debater (maybe a good political rally speaker). Constantly screaming, constant ad hominems, incidental proofs...
@@gwendolinkirkegaard1812 I've followed him for a long time and saw him often in person, so I'm not just giving my opinion based on stumbling over some YT videos like this one... which you clearly think I've based my comment on.
@@hlboerr Have you ever tried to find out why? If you didn't then there's no point in arguing with you amigo.
This is the most Scottish man I've ever seen
Whether you agree or not, GG is the real deal. You cannot fake Passion and fire.
Amen
I certainly don't agree with him on anything , but I wish others had half the passion.
He spent many years underground with the ANC and the Apartheid resistance in my nation (South Africa)
I used to think so but I've resigned myself to thinking he is just another career politician. He moves from issue to issue, never really fixing anything though he is useful for drumming up some support.
He's the man
it's frightening to think that student studies at Oxford
It's frightening someone like Galloway is at Oxford.
@@daikucoffee5316 ha
I am almost certainly sure these students are just part of a smearing campaign that is being funded by swamp to undermine George Galloway for speaking up about the brutal honest truths among politics. Who ever speaks out the truth, they undermine with lies. Even at Oxford
He doesn't even know how to hold a microphone.
You don’t have to be smart to go to oxford. You have to be good at useless shite that you only use in an office to get into oxford. Being smart is having good common sense and knowing how to work with people
GG at his best. Public speaking genius. Speaks from the heart
Galloway simply vaporizes his critics!
That and his saliva
He obliterated that guy I don't think he would ask anyone anything ever in his life😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Did he graduate? From oxford?
Oh, he would. People like that are bold-faced liars to the end.
As an American watching this from afar, I can safely say that Galloway is the man. He absolutely destroyed that kid. That kid is so doped up on mainstream media rhetoric its unbelievable. I am embarrassed FOR him.
Almost?
And you're doped on Russian propaganda?
@@jesan733 is this "Propaganda" in the room with you, right now?
@@Marxamillian every time I open a vid with Galloway.
Sky news and Fox news or CNN will give the young man a job anytime.
Presumably you mean Sky News Australia not UK? How on earth are you gonna mention Sky News UK in the same breath as Fox News or CNN.
@@MilitantBlackGuy1 they’re all atrocious news organisations
@@JohnKobaRuddy UK broadcast news is held to a very high standard by law. You're crazy.
no not CNN
His glass of water was 75% saliva by the end of that speech.
haha yes he's so passionate
That's a witty joke XD . Here, please have my like!
😂😂
I thought the glass of water was gonna start boling, with all that fire and brimstone coming out of mr Galloway. Much respect to GG.
Btw, an absolutely excellent comment 👏 👌 👍
I feel sorry for you Mr Galloway that you have to be there among those idiots so called student..
Big Love to you Big man Mr Galloway❤
@Mickey Finn Did somebody hurt you, sunbeam? Bore off. 😆
YOU LOVE THIS M FR?? YOU ARE AN M FER YOUR SELF
"...I have to imagine you wandered in here. Your'e not really a student at Oxford University. You cannot be...and say what you just said." Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying.
We have a special word in Hellenic Language "klafsigelos, which means "laugh and cry".
"you are more Capriles than Capriles" O SHIET
Energetic, well informed and eloquent. He has an enviable ability to recall the minutiae of a wealth of topics - pertinent, or otherwise, to the topic at hand - and apply them with intelligent relevance. Perhaps sometimes a little too animated whilst speaking publicly, but this, I think, is to be attributed to his tendency to be emotionally invested in so many of the issues on which he speaks/debates. In other words, he genuinely cares. He speaks clearly, honestly, with conviction and authority. Authority borne of knowledge
I love how Mr George Galloway trashed the question while also intellectually spanking the fool who asked it. Galloway was on FIRE 🔥 when giving the FACTS on why the great Hugo Chavez kept winning elections, and what he has done during his time in office in Venezuela 🇻🇪.
Not really. Nowadays this student has absolutely reason about his corcerns.
This video is surreal in a way. Such a well spoken man, giving a very passionate and educated response, in an amazing room. Feels like it's from 1912, not 2012.
I had a similar feeling watching this. Felt like I could see through time witnessing this in this room.
its not like they werent rude back the, just overly posh and openly racist, so that balances it out when comparing it to today i guess
LGBT always feel the same protest of any real talking, because they always, day and night live by fuck.
He sounds like a gypsy to me
Another career ending question from an Oxford student ... time after time they fall into the trap.
That student is ignorant and obviously has very little knowledge. He got embarrassed and humiliated!
He can't even hold the mic
@@sidharthcs2110 but i bet he can stick it up his arse
The student is totally arrogant and up himself.
Why?
Galloway literally lied
I love that he was expecting a reasoned and calm response and instead got a response comparable to the bombing of Iraq
These 'students' are gravely misinformed as regards the way of the world. Jesus H Christ. WOW. And George. You are a legend sir. Well schooled.
Look at Venezuela now
@@chrish2359 ...yes? And? It's a mess and has a power struggle going on. Politics and oil buddy. Mean one thing ...corruption
@@swiftcee266 Hyperinflation? People starving and there is shortages of pretty much everything in grocery stores etc.
@@chrish2359 yeah look at it. 72% private industry but because it has aspirations of socialism America blockades and sanctions and attempts to overthrow them and assassinate its leaders
@@swiftcee266 Socialism rewards corruption because there the government has all the control, when you centralize the economic resources and power, THAT leads to corruption. America isn't perfect and has corruption but the power of the state is not centralized at one place, and the economic resources is spread among the people where the people vote with capital to who gets the resources in a free market.
The person posted questions had no clue ... this is a huge problem these days...
Mr. Galloway, you are a blessing to the world. The truth is powerful and needed in this crazy world today. Thank you for speaking it, always.
Those comments on venezuela aged quite poorly…
Mr Galloway, I can imagine how hard it is to talk to such Western neoliberal propaganda-soaked young people, but you are doing the right thing....
With respect from Russia
I suppose we should thank that student for making 7 mins. of entertainment possible. "Well done, sir."
As an Iranian I never saw anything like "Executing 16 years old boy and broadcasting it on national TV". This boy knows nothing
I've watched a lot of these videos now...and I cannot for the life of me work out why Oxford students find it so hard to just hold a microphone properly
George Galloway is a champion of the truth. Thank you sir.
In that he finds ways to make lies sound like convincing truth?
@@careydouble22 and what exactly is he lying about, pray tell?
@@DONAL914 Maybe Saddam would be able to tell you if he wasn't 6 ft under
Maybe he would have been able. But neither you or I know whether he is telling the truth or not. Regardless Mr Galloway does fight on the side of the oppressed and his comments on the legality of the war are very true. That much is true.
@@DONAL914 Lol if you still find this guy some sort of moral authority after he pretended to be a kitten on Celebrity big brother you're schizo.
For anyone wanting the actual facts, here was what Galloway actually said about the 19 year old Iranian being executed in an interview with Matthew Wright from PinkNewsUK.
GG: “This is being used as part of the on-going propaganda against Iran...All the papers seem to imply that you get executed in Iran for being gay. That’s not true"
MW: "His boyfriend was hung though, wasn’t he?"
GG: "Yes, but not for being gay. For uh, committing sex crimes, uh, against young men."
MW: "Right…"
GG: "I mean, I’m against execution for any reason in any place, but it is important to avoid that propaganda"
MW: "So you’re saying that his guy they want to deport should be deported because there is no risk of his sexuality, or he shouldn’t be deported because there is a risk?"
GG: "He should not be deported not least because after all this Iranian propaganda he will be accused of being the source, or one of the sources. It would be ridiculous to deport him, and I don’t think he will be deported now."
Now, mind you that what Galloway said here was 100% false. Mr Galloway’s claim that gay people are not executed in Iran is refuted by every reputable human rights body, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. When asked by gay civil rights groups to provide evidence for his claims, he provided none.
So no he didnt say it was "Okay" but he did lie about the facts in an attempt to defend Iran's image.
Absolutely formidable...
If you're dead set on crossing swords with George Galloway, you better come prepared...
George Galloway destroying stuck-up Oxford students is my new kink
Old Oxford is old Oxford. Look at Britain of the past and of today. Utterly mess. Little knowledge is dangerous.
How embarrassing for this 'alleged' Oxford Student
3:13 As a Venezuelan, this man has no idea
Well said George Galloway I wish you were the priminister
George the great!
Love it when he took on America in their back yard.
Well said George, people should NOT stand up and argue unless they are accurate about the issue they want to support. Period. 👍🏻
If they didn't we wouldn't have these speeches
What a know all student. Knows everything it seems.
I literally applauded at the end of this video
It's very strange how so many comments from merely a year ago applauds a video where a man defended a nascent dictatorship that now so clearly has the people utterly subjugated, deprived, starving and fleeing the country.
@@jesan733 since this comment I support the government even more! Chavez vive!
@@novalonestudios I have no comeback to that, just sadness.
@@jesan733 Seppo detected.
@@freudianslippers6567 I'm a Swede.
Despite the many right reasons venezuelans and the rest of the world have to despise Chavez; he really had support from a lot of people, and even the opposition of the time knew it was real.
That rant on Venezuela sure aged well.
I love George. Truth written all over his soul.
Well, he did literally lie about the teen being executed in Iran.
Very funny. He is part of the Kremlin's "firehose of lies" propaganda machinery.
Pity their parents never talked like that to them
Yes comrade Galloway!!! Spot on as always.
This is gold. Love George the lad 😂👍👍👍
Perhaps he can explain why more than 2 million Venezuelans have moved to Colombia.
thanks for give some true knowledge to the slaves of the media manipulation.
I wish you spared yourself Sir , we need you! Don’t get so emotional about what those spineless silly people say...
GG is a master of critical thinking.
George Galloway is a decent politician, may Allah bless him.
"More Capriles than Capriles" 😂😂 douche got owned.
I could listen to him for days - what an orator
This young man just comes out from Oxford kindergarten
PLEASE someone tell him NOT to shout !!!
What I love is almost a year has gone past and George is still right, 8/5/2020
Standards are slipping in Oxford
If your idea of democracy is America , where 1% owns 42% of the wealth then yes Hugo Chavez crushed democracy....
i love it speaking from his heart that's why his a champion in the hole world keep us informed george galloway
it is WHOLE with a W , hole world what a hilarity . So with you be saying there is a WHOLE in my shirt
Who remembers when Oxford university meant something ?.
I just discovered this guy, I still dont know him but damn hes good at this... subscribing!
I cannot believe how ignorant and misinformed these students were. Oxford must be ashamed of these students.
Love George. What a man.
George is a legend! He will never be shown up for something he is not ...
Where are all the people defending Chavez and Venezuela now, after the UN and the OAS (finally) denounced the regime for Crimes Against Humanity and the poverty rate is 95%?
That's what I wanna know. People outside Venezuela can not defend someone they don't even know, they didn't live What We had to.
@@PaolaBarreto Thank you! I'm so sick of foreign people speaking over Venezuelans. If our democratic and "socialist" government was so amazing... Would people cross the Darién to escape from it? I don't think so. Would most Venezuelan families be scattered around the work? I don't think so. Many of Chávez supporters during the 90s and early 2000s regret their decision of voting for him and many of them migrated to Colombia.
This is why it is so important to have diversity in university campuses, so you actually know the history from the perspective of people who lived through it, or in this case, survived it.
I'm just a humble Venezuelan girl with my family divided, but Oxford University seems like a perfect ecosystem for elitists who cannot understand the extent of the damage their ideas can cause.
so disappointed about the quality of some oxford students.
this aged well
I have watched so many of such videos. Great job by GG, much respect.
I do wonder are Oxford students now representing so many of what is going on in UK?
The student is not to blame, George! That's the kind of thing we learn at right wing universities, such as Oxford and Cambridge, where we are taught that seeing the truth is to be a rebel, a political extremist, and complying with existent views and rules, even at the cost of blinding yourself to reality, is to be "objective". The worst part is that these people go rule governments afterwards .. And they still don't know why the West is collapsing ..
Oxford and Cambridge universities are not right wing.
George what a great man you are , and to think these young people may one day lead the country, John Australia.
George Galloway is one of a kind
"So put that in your pipe and smoke it, you little poonce!"
I don't think I've ever seen a verbal beatdown like this
He is possibly the greatest orator on the planet
Thank you Mr Galloway! All my respect mate!
I can make any assumption I like because I have experienced this all of my life when I was in the corporate world.
So brainwashed are these people who come through the university system, so good at memorising facts and formulae and so self interested, that they lose sight of the here and now and wisdom, anything other than short term personal gain is completely lost to them.
And it's MY generation that are today's city whizz kids...
Hugo Chavez,imam khomani,Nelson Mandela,Milcom X,Shaik Ibrahim zakzaki,George Galloway are all the voice of the voice less...respect all these personalies and it's our duty
Mandela was a terrorist
@Billy McCarthy He wasn't
@@squizzy86 who gives a shit pussy it was the only time he was a Chad. He wimped out at the end
@Hustle Boy Saddam killed Marsh Arabs and was an American puppet at first. He may have been a victim of the US imperialist machine but he was not an innocent one.
George is the man ..exposes the ignorance of these pathetic Oxford students!!!
Hilarious, the poor gay lad regrets opening his mouth there I’d say 😂.
Not at all bet he opens it regularly for nocturnal exercise
I love George Galloway, I've watched this twice in a row. It's as if that other guy was intentionally trolling. I knew he was gonna explode way before he did.
This may be funnier than the time George Galloway gave his speech about Margaret Thatcher in parliament, when they were debating whether or not to temporarily postpone current debates so that MPs could attend her funeral XD.
YOU JUST WONDERED INTO UNIVERSITY
HE ACTED AS A FOOL
Listening to George and reading some of these comments enriches my life.
No idea about the topic. But that kid got destroyed lmao hope they'll refund him the tuition fee 😂😂
what's that outfit he's wearing? He looks like Chairman Mao.
98% of Venezuelans don't eat 3 meals a day now George. In fact they don't eat any meals.
George rules any ignorant attack. He didn't need to appear as ranting to win this argument to show the ignorance of one mere student...even though to some it may appear entertaining
how much do i pay to get in oxford? just wondering
i expected more from oxford, apparently i was wrong. too simple, sometimes naive!
yeah we think that these students are superior but no way
Ah, I would never vouch for Jimmy Carter. I remember his Presidency and the things he's said since it came to an end.
Another passionate and truth reality delivery ...teach them to get it right the first time George and they will be wary of slandering other great politicians and their remarkable achievements.for all time. You are the teacher ... teach them to teach themselves !!!
today year 2020 venezuela government almost collapse and couldt fulfill their citizen needs
Holy shit. It's no wonder he gets away with everything. Brilliant speaker
I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR OXFORD NOW
Excellent reply.
Hi Edward. As a Venezuelan I agree with you. It is so frustrating to hear people talk about things they don't know at all. And when you confront them with the facts and figures, then they will say you are manipulated by "the international media". Incidentally, Galloway is not an Oxford Professor. Far from it. He was just invited by the Oxford Student Union to participate in a debate.
