to make sure that we keep the crowd in crowd funding george galloway has shown great support on your show and many other m.p.'s are getting behind this as well because really it is a way because we know crates of money we know owning your money we're not deciding where the money gets directed this is the democratization of in investing this is financial inclusion and if we take this to where it's meant to be this is for the first time in history who gets funded reflects the values of what the people say you mention george galloway where now exploring ways to fund a million pound fund using crowdfunding for his run to become mayor of london and of course there are considerations to be made but we are now in the process of looking at that there's a different crowd funding sites i myself have started a crowd funding start called start joint which is launching in december and we're going to definitely be supporting. that galloway run for mayor and this idea to raise a million pounds and of course there's going to be local considerations for way funds are raised for politicians except for

shirt or the name on a credit we had george galloway on the show recently he raised one hundred sixty thousand pounds for a film that's a rewards based crowd fund then there's peer to peer lending which is another innovation here in the u.k. i believe zopa was one of the first if not the first or one of the first to allow people to lend money to each other outside of the banking system and then there's equity based crowdfunding and of course you're one of the pioneers one of the leaders back to the future dot com and so the struggle over the fight or the consideration now is to keep the crowd in crowdfunding as as you point out you don't want to have a just for sophisticated investors million pound net worth or two hundred thousand dollars in income etc you want to be able to have people put up small amounts of money you know it seems to me that this kind of people throw away two billion pounds a year on gambling and why don't they put that toward. investing in companies and creating jobs simon well i mean that's the whole point because about in the u.k. about sixty percent of jobs co

or george galloway british m.p. for the respect party joins me live now from london some harsh comments there from president career what's your view of this idea that america is exceptional. well i wouldn't first of all compared to the nazis nothing is comparable to the nazis but it is dangerous idea that one country is god given for on top of all that greater than the others that cannot be true i once had an experience on an american radio show in seattle where the the presenter introduced the item by describing his own country as the greatest country on god's green earth and so i challenge. afore i said the other countries on god's green earth are less than you and i'm certainly not going to accept and i don't think people in other lands would either but if it was just rhetoric it wouldn't matter so much if it was just vainglory but it's put into practice by the international law lessness of the united states of america which draws on the side of exceptionalism and when president putin challenged in his us telling

briefsalled counter ursus galloway. it really involves a case from 1983 called marsh versus chambers that sustained a legislative prayer practice in nebraska on a largely historical analysis and legislative prayer has been done for 200 years. it is part of the fabric of the constitution. it is not an establishment clause. i think people think that is an odd analytical construct nec criticism of that as being sort of a generous approach to it that may be unsatisfying. but here, the town of greece had a practice of convening town board meetings using volunteer prayer givers that drew primarily from christian congregations in no small part because of the demographic makeup of the town of greece. so these two residents sued. one claim is not relevant anymore. but the other says that it advances the single violation -- a single face in violation of marsh that we can i use legislative prayer to proselytize one particular case. they lost in the district hurt -- district court, but the next court disagreed. prayernt to impart t

galloway.n the separation of church and state by starting its board meetings with a prayer? this case comes just more than 30 years after the court ruled in which justices upheld government funding for legislative chaplains. akhil, i want to come to you with this. it feels small, whether or not you can pray in your state legislature, but it's potentially bigger than that? >> so the question is, it could be decided very narrowly saying because of this case, chaplains, prayers before legislative assemblies, before congress, state legislatures, town councils, city councils, those are just historically different, because from the beginning congress had prayers and indeed still does. and even if those are somewhat sectarian prayers if their pattern, we're just going to give a pass to legislative prayers on historical grounds. that's the narrow way of a ruling, which means that they can do it here, the second circuit written by my dear friend and boss, these are mainly christian prayers, but mars sai
