Warren Letter to Galloway on Racist Morrison

[expe]

It's possible he was asked about the invitation, declined and then left the letter to Morrison's people and allowed them to use a copy of his signature, can't be hard to find one to copy and paste onto the letter, especially in Alex Morrison's office.

Possibly a parting of ways on the cards if it's the case. As already discussed above, Ricky Burns needs to address the situation.

Got to hand it to FW, he has really pulled a rabbit out of the hat - especially considering he is going up against a fierce pro-Islamist like Gallway.

Disclosing documents and postings, that show the very people he is defending, are the type of people he actually condemns in real life - is nothing short of a PR masterstroke.

[Final round]

Galloway is a vile individual. Morrison just sounds like your average ignorant bigot.

I thought it might be that! I was just thinking for a second, have I gone back to the future or some shit lol. Is Morrison on twitter at all do you know?

[JamieM]

FW is a very shrewd man, Bangs it out there 2 weeks before Rickys fight also, I cant see Morrison or Burns having the knowledge t get to him either!

It really is, no doubt about it. However, when you open fire and don't hold back, you have to be prepared for others to do likewise. This seems a different kettle of fish entirely to just letting your lawyers battle away.

The thing with Galloway is, he is known as a firebrand with a big mouth, I am not sure how much credibility he really has with the mainstream public. Indeed, I am not sure how much credibility he has within politics. Is he really relevant anymore ? He seems to do his own thing and create a few headlines but in many respects, with his radio shows, tv appearances and newspaper articles, he is a bit of a "shock-jock" - saying stuff to get a reaction.

So if you're going to do it over Galloway, you might win the battle but will you lose the war if you have basically ratcheted the war of words to the point where the really nasty stuff is going to come out ?

Galloway is a scumbag anyway I think. He's about as trustworthy as well fill in the blanks.

Don't know whether that's him or not though, no comment yet.

what did ricky post, have no access to twitter at work!

[expe]

Signature is 100% a forgery, just need to compare these to prove it.

You'd think they could make a better job of it than that.

[expe]

what did ricky post, have no access to twitter at work!

"Im disgusted to see a letter circulating with my signature forged. I have reported it to the police so they are dealing with it."

Police should be able to find out who the statement's originate from, as long as they can be arsed to do their job's properly.

[expe]

This has been about for a few days, doubt it will have any effect on Warren, but it only takes 30 seconds to sign.

Clearly a fake. Rickys from Coatbridge - there's no way he'd proclaim "god save the queen"...

Seriously though, if FW, or whoever, has forged the signature then they're in a whole heap of bother.

Would you put it past him?

Nope, although I doubt he did it personally.

The whole thing is bizarre. Burns would definitely not endorse these comments and to be honest I don't believe Alex Morrison would be so stupid to commit this to paper either. Somebody in Morrisons office is now between a brick and a hard place.

Why the no comment to the press then ? If it was not him, why not clear your name ? I meant Morrison, not Burns

[Anzi]

Guess what?

I dont believe that's the real Gallway twitter account myself.

Its not even verified. Hence perhaps thoses letters going offline too.

Imagine that, reading a fake twitter and sending legal letters to the real person ?

That could be right, Galloway is very smart and as always supported muslims.

The press are the last people to trust right now, all they're interested in is selling newspapers, far too easy for them to spin the story in a way that doesn't exactly portray Ricky Burns in a good light. He's taken the right route by reporting the forged signature to the police.

It does put Galloway in a very difficult position, although the signature on the letter is a fake, because if he is seen to be supporting a racist, it can't go down well come the next election, especially in Bradford where there's a large Asian community.

Spot on. Any story now will have to carry the fact that Ricky has reported it to the police. Good decision by him (and the only thing he could do at this moment in time)

Galloway is a vile individual. Morrison just sounds like your average ignorant bigot.

No he is not at all, you are right about Morrison though ignorant to the core.

Because Galloway stands for justice in the world, I know to some people he can come over as a know it all, but he does back himself up with facts.

If however he is backing Morrison, he would need to find an exit route fast.
