• "If Respect is able to save this fire engine by stopping the authority taking it away, that's exactly what we'll do. They will be forced to take that machine out over the bodies of those who have come to defend it. The same people killing Iraqis are taking our fire engine away, and they're doing both for the same reason." (Bethnal Green fire station, 07/06/05)
• "The borough of Tower Hamlets runs its elections in a way that would disgrace a banana republic. It became clear to us during the course of the campaign that somebody was involved in a major operation to bloat the electoral register with non-existent electors as part of a dirty tricks operation. Tower Hamlets council is in the grip of a corrupt political culture run by New Labour, ruthlessly using bullying, blackmail, postal votes operations - all the black arts you could imagine." (Electoral Review Committee, London Assembly, 08/06/05)
• "This is an opportunity for audiences to meet the real me - not the fictional character invented by the media. People can hear the true story of my life, about my beliefs and passions and discover the truth for themselves. I am looking forward to a lively Q&A session with theatregoers - who are free to ask me anything. It promises to be a great evening" (Promotional leaflet for "An Audience with George Galloway" at the Customs House, South Shields, 23/06/05, admission £12.50)
