Samizdata quote of the day
Samizdata Illuminatus (Arkham, Massachusetts)  Slogans/quotations

We all knew Galloway was a wanker before now anyway but by going onto Big Brother all he's managed to do is simply broadcast this to a public who previously didn't know who he was or thought he was that guy who told the American Senate a thing or two. The funniest thing has been the hard left loonies (and others) who applauded his cock sucking antics with Saddam, Assad, Hamas and the Al Aqsa Bastards Brigade but then decided that robotic manouvers in a leotard were beyond the pale.

The sight of George Galloway dressed in a thin red leotard on CBB is one memory I think I shall attempt to forget as quickly as possible. Perhaps someone should produce a poster of that and stick it all over his constituency under the heading 'tune into Channel 4 and see your local Respect MP hard at work'.

Please - is Galloway's 15 minutes almost up?

On a more serious note: Galloway has sucked up to, hob nobbed with, and supported to the best of his ability, most of the filthy, genocidal tyrants in this world. But it is only when he indulges in some tasteless, but harmless, pranks with the other scumbags in the Big Brother House that there has been any public reaction against him!
What does this say about the moral blindness, if not the near total inversion of values of the great British Public

Gordon
You hit that one on the head. It's amazing that the outrage comes over some unbecoming public antics. In contrast he not only gets a pass but is lauded for his support for everything that anyone who appreciates freedom should find anathema.

There is no accounting for taste, or good sense.

I think Gordon's phrase sums it up: "the near total inversion of values of the GBP." They are utterly corrupted and diminished people.

To be fair, I chortled with malicious glee at the picture of Galloway and that other... er, person in tights. Public humiliation has always been more effective than debate in destroying a reputation.

I just love it, he calls his party 'The Respect Party'. Does he really have that deep a sense of ironic humour, or is he just an imbecile?


Posted by ernest young at January 24, 2006 09:39 PM

Far from an imbecile. We will see where this takes him. I don't like him, but he is interesting because he walks on his lone.

He's been successful in his decisions so far. Will this be a folie too far?

I wonder. I don't think so.

My guess is that Galloway is trying to "rebrand" himself as a pathetic figure of mockery to stave off a prosecution for fraud(Link).

From the accounts I hear of George's antics he may well realise he has made a complete twat of himself. His true colours have been revealed to many more people than before. The fact that they gave out presents last night and his was a book by Marx and Engels.........even the producers are taking the piss.

I think the best possible thing for a campaign against him next time round is that picture of him in a pink leotard on one site of a leaflet...that is all you will need.


Posted by Andrew Ian Dodge at January 25, 2006 12:16 PM

We will see.


Posted by Verity at January 25, 2006 02:34 PM

George W Bush in a plain dark suit announcing the proven link between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda is a more risible and sinister figure than George Galloway pretending to be a cat.

Absurdity is on a scale related to importance. But little things please little people's schadenfreude. The monstrosities are too large and painful for their imaginations.


Posted by Matt O'Halloran at January 26, 2006 03:40 PM

I think George has a great future alongside Frank (Bruno) in panto - the Heavyweight and the Fairy..... they could even share the same therapist!
