PARVAIZ Awan should be ashamed to even suggest that George Galloway should stand in Blackburn (LET, May 7).

After all, Galloway is a man who openly applauded Saddam Hussein's 'courage.' Courage for what? -- killing thousands of his own people?

Parvaiz Awan may not care about that, but I do, so if Galloway doesn't come to Blackburn again it will be too soon as far as I am concerned.
