Left wing Islamic extremist George Galloway 'Anti-Semitism' Letter Recipients Offered Free Legal Advice
A Twitter account has been set up specifically to offer free legal advice to those apparently being sued by George Galloway.
A number of people reported being sent a letter written by lawyers acting on behalf of the Respect MP, informing them that they need to pay over £6,000 each, according to The Times.
In response the @SuedByGalloway account has sprung up purporting to put people in touch with solicitors and lawyers who can offer them free legal advice on the issue.
Those behind the account - who wish to remain anonymous - told the Huffington Post UK: "We are doing this because we are disgusted with the way Galloway is threatening and intimidating people on Twitter thus attempting to stifle free speech and free expression.
"We wanted to create a space for people who have been sent these letters to communicate and support one another- the response has been phenomenal. None of us expected it to be honest and it shows that Galloway has upset a lot of people.
"We have helped those who've contacted us directly either by email or by twitter by putting them into touch with solicitors and barristers who can give free advice."
One of the people who is an apparent recipient of the letter is a charity worker who only has 75 followers.
The tweets in question relate to a heated appearance by Galloway on BBC Question Time last month.
Galloway - a staunch critic of Israel - was roundly heckled during the show, which was filmed in Finchley, North London, a heavily Jewish area.
The final questioner implied the Respect MP - who last year declared Bradford an "Israel-free zone" - had contributed to an anti-Semitic fervor in the UK, an allegation he has strongly denied.
Galloway rejected the claims on air and in the aftermath of the show wrote a blog claiming the audience selection was “laughably biased”.
During a Twitter conversation a few days later Guardian writer Hadley Freeman also accused Galloway of blurring the line between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism.
The tweet, which was later deleted, lead to the following exchange:

Shame he was not doing this to me as would easily prove he is a Nazi and a Jew hater.
On Saturday it was reported the Respect MP had demanded "significant" damages from up to a dozen Twitter users who allegedly called him anti-Semitic.If you're being sued by #georgegalloway please follow for a DM. You don't have to respond to any letters #AskGalloway

@HadleyFreeman @ggreenwald you must withdraw this tweet or face the legal consequences

@georgegalloway Seriously? I'm sure our lawyers have better things to do... To save us both a day in court, I'm happy to delete it.

In response, solicitors apparently acting on Galloway's behalf wrote letters stating those in question are “required” to pay legal costs of £5,000 plus VAT.@HadleyFreeman too late. Way too late
