well it is true the revolution may just be televised.
i am not a fan of the man, i do have a certain amount of respect for him - he is a great orator, and for some he is seen as being a principaled politician.
the gorgeous one went to a lot of trouble to get his new job, he helped form a political party (a grouping of radical left parties that had no chance of getting elected, who oppurtunistically jumped on the anti-war bandwagon), he found an area in the country (not his native scotland) that had a sitting labour mp, who was a bit of blair babe and also a radical muslim population who hated blair.
having done all the he squeaked in.
so far since the 3g has been my local mp he has been to bangladesh, he has been to the states and then back again. to be honest i am not sure he has actually done anything as my mp.
now some would say that being an mp is either:
an incredibly important job - that the mp is the democratically elected reprensentative of the people. they work for us, they represent us, and they do it in parliament. it should be an honour to be an mp.
or
for some it is money for old rope (mainly tories who see it as a way to line their pockets), that it is an easy job and that anyone of us could be doing it.
well it is good to see that gorgeous george galloway takes the second view.
for someone like galloway and respect now is the time for them to be striking blows against tony blair, now is the time that they couuld be pressing against the perceived weaknesses in new labour's government.
so what is galloway doing?
he is appearing on celebrity big brother....so when parliament returns from it's christmas break galloway may not be there, because he is being an ego monster on big brother.
he is a total wanker.
still at least jay will enjoy him on tv.

Ahem lets be fair Pat, I am a fan of Big Bro but not of Gorgeous George - you're sounding like a politician and name dropping about me!
Galloway for God!!!!
Let's face it, George will do more to harm Blair's image on 24-hour a day Big Brother than he would by not turning up to Parliament for three weeks. Good luck to him, I hope gets to get his views on the war across to all those apathetic reality-show watching idiots.
3g will do more for his own image than he will do harm for blair.
more and more i believe he is just in it for the fame and the money.
he has made 3 speeches in parliament since becoming a respect mp, and has not done anything in his constituency since october 27th. (according to the respect website).
given the company he is keeping on bb he will more likely come across as a pompus twat.
karl marx, lenin and trotsky are spinning in their graves.
jay - you know you love to be name dropped.
