The UK’s Anti-Terrorism Police Detained This Man. Today, He Tells His Story.

71-year-old George Galloway is a seven-time elected member of British Parliament. He loves his country, and is clearly not a danger to it.

So why did the UK’s “anti-terrorism police” detain him in September? According to officials, the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act of 2019 warranted Galloway’s questioning to ensure he hadn’t “engaged in hostile activity.” Was there any reason to believe he’d done something wrong? No. But police went after him anyway.

If you think this sounds Soviet, you’re right. Stories like this have become shockingly common in Great Britain, proving that authoritarianism has fully arrived in the West.

Galloway joined a Black Friday edition of The Tucker Carlson Show to tell his side of this oppressive tale.

George Galloway has been elected to parliament seven times, and on many issues is one of the most conservative politicians in the U.K. But when he criticized the Ukraine war, he was detained by British police and had his property confiscated. He’s now in exile.
