Exclusive: I was sexually abused as a child, reveals George Galloway
Jul 20 2009 By Dave King
GEORGE GALLOWAY has revealed that he was a victim of sex abuse as a child.
In today's Record, the controversial MP talks for the first time about his ordeal at the hands of a twisted school janitor - and backs Government plans to vet anyone whose work brings them into contact with children.
He also slams opponents who insist that they won't pay the vetting charge to prove they are not paedophiles. Galloway reveals that his abuser was in a position of trust.
And he says that if vetting laws had been in place, the pervert would not have had access to any child.
Galloway said: "I'm not saying the abuse which happened has ruined my life or anything.
"But it did affect my life, and not in a good way and neither in ways I care to rehearse before you.
"Every time a Soham murderer or a Dunblane Thomas Hamilton emerges, I die a little inside as I remember that dirty old man in Dundee driven by the same perverted interest in sexually attacking kids.
"And the fact that I did not speak up - I told no one of what happened to me.
"All I feel is ashamed, though I was the victim and he the aggressive predator."
The MP thinks his abuser is now dead.
But in typical Galloway fashion, he adds: "I hope he's roasting in the hell fires."
Backing the vetting proposals, Galloway concludes: "If just one child is spared the horrors of sexual abuse by someone they had a reason to trust, then it would be worth it.
"Trust me. I know."

His janitor should have abused him by putting his janitor boot, there, where the sun don't shine. The guy is a moron. 20/7/2009 07:49 BST on dailyrecord.co.uk

We have to weed out the roots of this problem, Freemason Walt Disney has been promoting sex under our noses for years with their subliminal messages, and silly us have been feeding it to our kids, I know the link here for the three of them is Freemasonary, not at local level but up there at Illuminati level (33rd degree) But with a Gov't who are heavily involved with freemasonary what chance have we got ? And please don't post a comment saying The Pope or the black pope (Adolfo Nickolas) have nothing to do with Freemasonary, because it will only show you have not done your research. 20/7/2009 08:02 BST on dailyrecord.co.uk
