UK: Galloway's Muslim Constituents Annoyed By Big Brother
We reported on January 5 that George Galloway, MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, which has a high Muslim demographic, has joined the cast of micro-celebrities for another tedious series of "Celebrity Big Brother".
I made a promise last week that I would report on goings on in the house, and I have only watched small amounts of this dire programme. George is up for eviction potentially tonight, depending on the public's phone votes. Also up for eviction is Pete Burns the eccentric yet strangely "grounded" singer from Dead or Alive and past-her-sell-by-date former model Jodie Marsh, whose "Me, me, me" attitude has earned her the disdain of the rest of the troupe.
Last night, George Galloway was engaged in a game, which I missed, in which he pretended to be a cat, purring and drinking make-believe milk from the outstretched palms of ageing thespian, Rula Lenska.
This has provoked a reaction from John Biggs, a Labour member of Ken Livingstone's London Assembly who said: "I think there is a real need for politicians to engage with people but I do not think that being on Big Brother or pretending to be a cat is the best way to achieve it.....Certainly around the streets of Tower Hamlets people are pissed off about his failure to represent them."
The Independent states that the government chief whip, Hilary Armstrong, has said last night's antics made her cringe. Armstrong, who is Labour MP for North-West Durham, began a petition in George Galloway's constituency, calling for Galloway to return to work as their Member for Parliament.
Galloway, who stands for the Respect party, has already missed one vote in the House of Commons while residing in the Big Brother house. This concerned a proposed rail project which directly affects his constituents. The petition reads: "We believe this egotistical action shows a shameful lack of respect for the people of this constituency. We call on him to represent and respect his constituents, not further his own ego, as he is by remaining totally out of touch in the Big Brother house."
His Muslim constituents have made no secret at their displeasure with his absence from political duties to appear on the programme. The Guardian reported earlier that Galloway has been accused of spending too much time away from Bethnal Green and Bow, which he won by just 823 votes. He previously failed to attend a Commons vote on an anti-terrorist measure, which he was expected to oppose. The bill was carried by the government by just one vote, which Galloway's ballot may have blocked.
One Muslim, Naeem Parvez, cornered by the Guardian as he entered the main mosque on Whitechapel Road, said of Galloway's presence on the show: "Many won't like it. It's mixed, women are there."
Kamal Khan, aged 19 said at the start of the series: "I'll watch it, I want him to get into the Iraq war. If he can mess up the Senate, he can mess up the celebrities. He can do more good by being on TV and by being in parliament."
Unfortunately, Galloway has said little about politics which has been broadcast by Channel 4, and he has spent his time comforting a highly sensitive and weepy former TV presenter Michael Barrymore, claiming he wishes to see Barrymore make a "comeback", and also analysing the divisive histrionics and manipulations carried out by Jodie Marsh.
UPDATE: The British public has decided that it could take no more of Jodie Marsh's loud and unsophisticated ploys for attention, and have kicked the tawdry glamour babe from the show. I did not see the post mortem interview, I am afraid.
This means that the UK public thought watching a grey haired politician and a straight-talking (no pun) transvestite was better entertainment than watching Jodie Marsh's tired old titties jiggling around in a swimsuit, as she posed in the jacuzzi.

I don't know Giraldus, Jodie Marsh may well be past her expiration date, but I'd still buy her.

You must be looking at pics from when she was in her sell-by period. Not only does she have cracks starting in all the wrong places, her skin is greasy enough to baste meat in.
But worse than all of that, is her voice - like a ill-educated cheap harlot from a back street in Essex, and she will not shut up. Unless one is prepared to snip her vocal chords, there would be a high temptation for anyone sleeping with her to either slit her throat or one's own, to avoid listening to the interminable crap she talks, at a very loud volume.
I'd rather have sex with George Galloway. (!) It would have no sexual thrill, but there is a chance one could get into some S&M and cause him some injury in the process, by "accident", if you get my drift.
