George Galloway could not have been more blatant about his Russian State Affiliation if he’d typed it in actual Russian.

like the old saying goes, if it sounds like russia state affiliated media, appears on russia state affiliated media, denies being russia state affiliated media, and has russia state affiliated media marked on its twitter account, then it’s probably russia state affiliated media https://t.co/4yOhJY0pC3

The hilarity continued as Galloway addressed Elon Musk, who recently bought shares in Twitter.

The excellent Laura Kuenssberg parody @BBCLauraKT had this fairly logical conclusion.

BREAKING: Twitter has designated George Galloway as "Russian state-affiliated media" because he has appeared on RT. Surely, it's therefore a matter of time until Boris Johnson is labelled as a "Russian state official", given all the money he's taken from oligarchs x

He’ll have to sanction himself.
