"The Trial: how New Labour purged George Galloway"

Excerpts from the transcript of the New Labour proceedings against George Galloway MP will be read and broadcast.

In London in 2003 George Galloway MP was charged before the (new) Labour Party's disciplinary panel with engaging in conduct prejudicial or in an act grossly detrimental to the Party -- this was because of his outspoken opposition to the Iraq War, and it ended in his being expelled the Party. (He then formed a new party, Respect, and was re-elected on that basis to Parliament.)
The readings -- of excerpts from the transcript of the "trial" -- will take place on Tuesday July the 25th, starting 12 noon, at 10 St Bridget's Place Lower, Wood Quay (behind Argos / Lidl), Galway. FREE.
They will be simultaneously broadcast on Radio Pirate-Woman FM102 (Galway city area only), and will last about two hours. They are divided into six chapters:
1) Action or Expression?
2) What is Prejudicial?
3) The Illegal War.
4) A Translation of a Translation of a Translation.
5) Intention & Incitement.
6) Nonsense in the English Language.
Members of the audience will be able to come and go during the readings as though it were a real trial. They will also be encouraged to comment after each chapter.
