UK: Pro-Islam MP, George Galloway, Stars On Big Brother
News from the UK Independent: George Galloway, the man who was rejected by the Labour party for his continued support of Saddam Hussain, who formed the "Respect Party" and became elected as its MP in a mainly Muslim constituency of Bethnal Green and Bow, has now decided to expose the media public to his participation in Endemol's Big Brother on Channel 4 TV.
Galloway, who has been accused of money fraud involving Iraqi charity funds which apparently arrived in his wife's bank account, has joined a motley crew of washed-up celebrities of little importance. Personally I find watching paint dry more interesting than watching ANY Big Brother production, but as I know George Galloway is widely despised in the US and beyond, I will be occasionally watching, and reporting on the japes and dramas in the Big Brother house.
George Galloway shocked viewers with his angry condemnations of the president when he was called to a US Senate Committee in 2005. How long he remains in the competition is debatable - "celebrity" editions of the show close after only three weeks, a much shorter period than the normal series of wannabe eccentrics and drama queens plucked from the general public.
So 51 year old, teetotal and cigar smoking George will be on show with model Jodie Marsh, "celebrity" bed-hopper Faria Alam, washed up ex-alcohlic coke-head and failed homosexual ex-TV presenter Lionel Barrymore and other mere maggots in the celebrity universe, including a man called Maggot, who is a Welsh-born rapper who used to work in a pot noodle factory. Maggot claims he has "puked up on a cat".
Galloway will also be sharing with two cross-dressers, including Pete Burns from the band Dead or Alive, who is a transvestite performer who counts Jackie Stallone among his idols. Judging by his botox-raddled lips, it appears Burns models his appearance on Jackie Stallone.
The other cross-dresser is Denis Rodman, US former basketball star and whatever he is now, who says that three weeks without sex sucks - no pun intended....
On George Galloway's CV for the show, he says he is offended by "drunkeness, bad manners, bigotry and ignorance".
He has said his main motive for taking part is to "entertain" and to show to the world at large what he is really like. He has also said he welcomed the opportunity "to get away from constant telephone and e-mail traffic, and for the chance to make new and unexpected friends."
So maybe now I will creep downstairs, switch on the TV, and see if I can see George chewing a cigar or scratching his scrotum.....
