Arsehole of the Year 2006
It seems a bit early in 2006 to be handing out end-of-year awards but there is little chance that George Galloway will be beaten this year in the race for this coveted title. One that he should now keep he’s won it so often. The reason? If you’re a constituent of Bethnal Green and Bow and you have a problem you might find talking to your MP a bit difficult. His surgery is closed until further notice as he’s otherwise engaged poncing about on Big Brother trying to out-bore his fellow c-list celebs. But that’s your fault for voting for this egomaniac, jaundice sufferer.
The man who wants Blair indicted for war crimes chats with his mate Saddam.
George Galloway is always banging on about peace but he has the look of someone about to commit mass genocide. He trots out accusations against Blair, calling him a child murderer and yet spends quality time in Saddam Hussein’s company, a man directly responsible for murdering and torturing his own people. Of course, both of these acts serve the same, true and only purpose George has. They give him publicity, something he loves more than his sunbed. Forgive Blighty for giving him more here, but let’s get this idiot out of the way early. He won’t be mentioned again this year, even if he runs stark-naked through the House of Commons showing off his suntan lines.
Georgie Boy has his fans. He appeals to those soft-minded souls who can’t distinguish between subversive and subhuman, nonconformist and naff. No doubt many anti-war votes went to George in last May’s election in Bethnal Green, which shows the problem with one-issue politics. Presumably if George’s chum Saddam has stood on an anti-Iraq War platform he’d have got in as well.

From this side of the pond the idea of locking away Georgeous George looks pretty good. Do you suppose there’s room in the Big Brother House for a few of the colonial politicos? Ideally accommodation would be required for about 300 of them.

Hi HI, putting George into Big Brother would be a good idea if, a) they didn’t insist on filming it and b) they threw away the key.

I think gorgeous George has made a serious mistake in taking part in Celeb. Big Brother. As you say he is supposed to be an MP to his constituents - he has one of the lowest attendance records in the House of Commons. I do have a sneaking respect for him, he was very vocal against the Iraq war (rightly) and his performance against Senate committee was wonderful. Politicians of all parties meet and greet dictators, despots and assorted scum all the time. How about a few pics of Donald Rumsfelt with Saddam or Jack Straw with Mugabe?

Sorry Frobisher, I can’t take George Galloway seriously. I’m sure many people in Bethnal Green felt the same way as you, but they’ve ended up with a clown as an MP. I’m not Jack Straw’s mistaken hand shake with Mugabe can be compared to Galloway’s cosy chat with Saddam. I’ve never seen his face soften in this way. I think he’s in love.

Didn’t read the post, but the pic grabbed my attention. I have a pic of Saddam and Donald Rumsfeld. Would you like to add it to your collection?
