It's odd where 'the left' draw the line

Over the past week 'the left' have criticised George Galloway twice. First for his rather unenlightened comments about rape, whilst defending Julian Assange and second for this Tweet

What is odd is that those up in arms about George Galloway's alleged misogyny and lack of sensitivity towards the disabled seem to have been less willing to criticise him for his working for Iran's Press TV and his less than pleasant views about Israel.

The double-standards of 'the left' are really quite abhorrent but not surprising. What is cheering is that, for whatever reason, this particular boil on the bum of British society might at last be ready for lancing.
