George Galloway in the Big Brother House…
I know I know before we all snigger and scoff and start asking ourselves what happened to British politics, I do feel there is a serious issue here.
If I lived in Bethnal Green I’d be more than slightly peeved that my MP is locked up for what could be three weeks on some sort of pointless, ,self promoting exhibitionist ramble, he’s not exactly accessible to his constituents right now is he? To me this is the most important part of being an MP, I used to live in Barbara Follett’s constituency and whilst I don’t agree with her on every issue, I will always have respect (with a small ‘R’ take heed o’ ‘Gorgeous’* George) for the woman because if you made an appointment you could usually get to talk to her face to face before the weeks was out.
Second thoughts, this is George Galloway we are talking about. If I lived in Bethnal Green perhaps I’d welcome the 3 weeks of peace.
Oona King may have been pro-war but at least she had some dignity and self-respect (again with a small ‘R’, etc etc etc.)
UPDATE; On researching it seems that I’m not the only one complaining. The irony is that if Bethnal Green wants George back at work then they’d probably do better playing the game and paying hideous phone line charges to vote him out of the house, than signing the online petition. If you can’t beat them join them, I guess.
