Well done Galloway, Andrew Murray, John Rees and Phoney Benn how much further down can you drag the UK’s anti-war movement? Making anti-semitism on the left respectable again seemed like a low point but the looming possibility of the first far-left/far-right coalition in British history takes us to a whole new low indeed.
