FORMER Bradford West Respect MP George Galloway has been sacked by talkRADIO following an “anti-Semitic” comment posted on Twitter.

The radio host and former MP tweeted to congratulate Liverpool on their Champions League win, and expressed relief that there would be no “Israel flags on the cup”.

Defeated side Tottenham are known for having historically significant support from the Jewish community.

Mr Galloway’s employer, talkRADIO, labelled the post anti-Semitic, and announced that it had severed ties with the The Mother of All Talk Shows host.

In an statement on Twitter the station said: “talkRADIO has terminated George Galloway’s weekly show with immediate effect. As a fair and balanced news provider, talkRADIO does not tolerate anti-Semitic views.”

Mr Galloway had posted following Liverpool’s victory: “Congratulations to the great people of Liverpool to the memory of the socialist miner Bill Shankley to the fallen 96 to those who fought for justice for them and to the Liverpool dockers. No Israel flags on the Cup!”

Mr Galloway said he would see his former employer in court following the news of his sacking.

The former Labour and Respect Party politician also declared his support for Palestine.

In a string of tweets following his dismissal, he said: “I’ve just been sacked by @talkRADIO See you in Court guys. #Palestine #Moats Long live Palestine.”

He then added: “I’ve been given a Red Card from @talkRADIO for ‘over-celebrating’ #Liverpool famous victory over Spurs. Not sure it’s the wisest move Mr Murdoch’s team ever made given the history and all.”

Media watchdog Ofcom had received numerous complaints about Mr Galloway’s show.

In March, Ofcom found that Mr Galloway breached broadcasting rules by presenting allegations of Labour Party anti-Semitism as a concocted means to criticise Jeremy Corbyn.

Hosting phone-ins on the Labour anti-Semitism allegations, Mr Galloway was found to have framed the controversy as a vehicle to attack the Labour leader, and received broad support for his view.

When he received a dissenting opinion in a text, Mr Galloway called the sender an “ignorant woman”, and branded another listener who disagreed with him as a “rag picker”.

He was found in breach on two counts over the Corbyn material.

A spokesman for Ofcom said at the time: “Our investigation found that these phone-in programmes breached our due impartiality rules.

“They failed to give due weight to a sufficiently wide range of views on allegations of anti-Semitism within the Labour Party.”

Mr Galloway won Bradford West from Labour in a 2012 by-election, before

losing the seat to Labour’s Naz Shah in 2015.
