Hitchens-Galloway – rematch?

Christopher Hitchensdescribes his bout in New York with George Galloway and says that Galloway is a hot, blustering bully - but I am staying on his case until the very end. He also mentions the LFIQ challenge to the two to debate in London and writes that It had taken me some time to bring him onto a fair field with no favour. After his loud and rude refusal to answer direct questions from a Senate sub-committee, and after his personal insults to me when I had asked him some questions of my own, and after the almost uniformly good press that he achieved for these tactics, I challenged him to a public debate.

A challenge was also issued to me and Galloway by the Labour Friends of Iraq, a group which brings together people who are divided on the intervention itself but which offers help to the embattled secular and democratic forces in that stricken country. Despite repeated applications, Galloway declined any formal reply and tersely said "not under your aegis" when approached in the Commons by Gary Kent, the director of the group.

Time for a rematch in London?
