In news that probably didn't surprise anyone, Labour expell George Galloway from party for 'disloyalty' over Iraq war. Because of course expelling someone worked so well for them when it came to the London Mayoral Elections (Official Labour candidate trashed by ex-Labour party member standing independently) and the Welsh Assembly Elections (Blair's preferred choice beaten by old Labour candidate). Based on the charges as hearing what he's supposed to have said at the time it does seem to be stretching definitions to claim he was actually disloyal or inciting against British troops, telling the UK troops to ignore illegal orders, you could say that he meant the orders to attack Iraq there and then but if inference sufficient proof in such a situation?
