The problems of the past are also the problems of the present and will be the problems of the future, unless we manage to solve them. But in the case of Galloway, at least, the facts should be so clear that we needn't even look to precedent. His politics are transparently contemptible (and his ethics may well not be much better). Acknowledging such plain facts forthrightly and without reservation isn't contrary to expediency; rather, doing so is actually an essential means to persuading those who need persuading.
