Galloway tells of mob attack

FIREBRAND MP George Galloway has told how he was attacked at Glasgow Airport by a sectarian mob.

The Respect MP claims he was kicked, threatened and taunted by six men as he arrived on a flight from London. Police are said to be investigating CCTV footage of the incident.

Mr Galloway reportedly said: "It was a terrifying experience and quite disgraceful for these people to behave like this. There was one guy I would describe as a ringleader who said, 'I don't like your radio talk, I don't like your newspaper talk, I have a religious duty to knock you down'."
