That woman interviewer, whoever she was, exposed her ignorance concerning politics and political history, although I’m guessing she’s probably got at least A level politics if not a degree.
The daft tart should have known that the term “spring” is a common, long established term, used to describe a non-violent rebellion, and it predates recent events in the Middle-East.
In fact the term is probably being incorrectly used in the Middle East where intense fighting between two armed opposing sides has occurred.
So “spring” in a political context refers to a peaceful rebellion against the existing status quo by ordinary people, the very thing which happened on thursday in Bradford West. Galloway was perfectly correct in using the term, and we are indeed now in spring.
For the interviewer to accuse Galloway of being arrogant for using the term exposes her own ignorance. And she was in fact being arrogant herself – I doubt very much that she would have been so rude and contemptuous towards any other successful candidate who had just won an election. And won in such a convincing and indisputable way.
Having said all that, Galloway is a big-headed git.
But gorgeous.
