But is he? Galloway is stoking up, and representing, an eventual existential threat to our culture. Farage is the other bit I highlighted - as you say, with the difference that he wants to preserve our culture. Our culture straddles Remainers and Leavers, Christians and Jews and certain others but not the lot that support Galloway. There is no similarity..
