Galloway: Assange allegation no more than bad 'sexual etiquette'

Respect MP George Galloway sparked protests by suggesting WikiLeaks campaigners Julian Assange has been accused of no more than bad “sexual etiquette”.

Mr Galloway, speaking in a 30 minute video blog last night, said the allegations levelled against Mr Assange, which resulted in a European Arrest Warrant and long legal proceedings as he sought to block extradition to Sweden to face the claims, could not be considered as rape.
