Orraloon Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Good choice IMO. Why are they so keen to get this job? I assume there must be more money involved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose they need cover for holidays. 8 weeks during the summer probably isn't enough for them right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilser Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 On 06/05/2016 at 5:07 PM, ErsatzThistle said: Update fae London - George Galloway got a massive 1.2% of the first preference votes The Women's Equality Party got more votes than him which is quite fitting ! Not going too well for George in the courts either: Quote The former MP George Galloway has issued a court apology and agreed to pay damages to his former assistant Aisha Ali-Khan over claims that she helped her former police officer husband run a dirty tricks operation against him and his Respect party. Galloway, who was beaten into a humiliating seventh place in last month’s election for London mayor, formally withdrew claims he made in 2012 that Ali-Khan helped her former husband, Afiz Khan, to spy on him when Khan was a senior Metropolitan police officer. His lawyer, Adam Speker, apologised to Ali-Khan at an open hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in front of Mr Justice Warby. Galloway, who was not in court, has also paid a five-figure sum in damages to settle the claim. The case represents a rare legal blow for Galloway after a string of libel victories. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jun/20/george-galloway-damages-assistant-aisha-ali-khan-dirty-tricks-claims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
