By all accounts, the British general election campaign was very dull.
The outcome was rather more exciting, with Blair's majority significantly reduced by Tory and Lib Dem gains. George Galloway's shock win in Bethnal Green certainly caused a sensation, as he took a safe Labour seat that the party had held since 1945.
George Galloway is an odious demagogue, who exploited the racial tensions in the area for his own gain.
Unpleasant though Galloway is, I think Jeremy Paxman went OTT in this astonishing interview. It has to be seen to be believed. Enjoy!
