A fuming George Galloway stormed out of an LBC interview this morning after being questioned about his recent comments that gay relationships are not “normal”.
Speaking on a recent podcast the Workers Party leader told Novara Media that he does not want his children being taught that “gay relationships are exactly the same and as normal as a mum, a dad and kids”.
Despite the comments being fully recorded, when probed this morning Mr Galloway furiously claimed he was being “ambushed” with an edited clip.
Mr Galloway was probed further before cutting the interview short and hanging up his phone.
Interviewer Lewis Goodall asked why gay relationships, in his eyes, aren’t equal, with Mr Galloway accusing him of using underhand tactics to secure the interview.
Mr Galloway said: “You got this interview to talk about the election.
“This is a clip of a clip, this is an edited clip, I can assure you… you clipped out the point about the 97 genders agenda.
“You clipped it out! Don’t think I don’t know what I said!
“You clipped it out! I’m not going to have a barney with you.”
When Mr Goodall hit back that he doesn’t want a “barney” either but just to clarify what he said, Mr Galloway insisted he was not being asked about the agreed topic of discussion.
He replied: “Look I came on here to speak about the elections, now you’re ambushing me with an edited clip of an edited clip, so I’ve got a simple answer… listen to the whole thing tonight!”
Mr Goodall insisted he has listened to the whole clip, continuing to ask the hard left politician why he doesn’t believe gay relationships are equal to heterosexual relationships.
The LBC presenter then accused Mr Galloway of “misleading” his listeners by claiming the clip was edited.
Mr Galloway continued: “You’re misleading my listeners in saying that because we have not edited the clip! That is a full 90 seconds.”
Mr Galloway then announced: “I’m going to hang up now!
“More fool me thinking that you’re request that I come on a talk about the election was genuine. Bye.”
Mr Goodall inserted a final demand for Mr Galloway to “grow up” before the MP hung up.
