The fact George Galloway appeared on Question Time in Finchley is good news, even though he was confronted by a hostile and aggressive audience.

His appearance could not have been more timely. The report that the head of the UN enquiry into Israeli war crimes in Gaza has been forced to resign under Israeli pressure a month before its report is due to be published, makes it more important than ever that someone such as Mr Galloway, who is prepared to speak out on this subject, be allowed a public arena in which to do this.

Mr Galloway is most welcome in Finchley at any time. If only there were others who would do the same.
