Galloway on Big Brother - the official thread

Second paragraph Donna -- I fully agree.

As far as Parliamentary attendance goes, I just hope his record of constituency casework is better than his record of attendance in debates, votes, etc.

He has sucessfully demonised himself out of his own mouth, it did not take any help.

Oh yes, and the bloke from Dead or Alive is meant to be there too - he may be one of those but I don't know his name ...

Pete Burns.

Check out his lips when you see him! :eek:
 
Big Brother - Galloways watching you

Looks like it is true Galloway will be a house mate. Now I have two problems - having to watch the bloody thing and Picky going on about it :(
 
Maggot (from Goldie Lookin Chain sadly) and Preston from The Ordinary Boys ( :confused: ) are the others apparently ...

If only it was our own Maggot ... :D

As far as attendance is concerned, I personally think it doesn't really matter stuff all if the representative of a party of one doesn't attend much of the time and of course some of the complaint about it (some of it from people who are anti-Parliamentarians who don't believe anybody should be there) is the usual Galloway-bashing humbug. (Moreover, he'll probably be out before the House even returns.)

What's more to the point is that this is a bit of a sad down-with-the-yoof type gesture, isn't it? At the end of the day it's no more convincing than William Hague's baseball cap.

Yes, or rather Galloway's bid to establish himself as a fully fledged celebrity. I can't pretend to be anything other than mildly irritated, mildly embarrased and mildly amused all at the same time. :o :o :mad: :mad: :D

Or a clever profiling of Respect before the council elections. He can be pretty sharp when it comes to the media (providing his ego and his "mouth before brain" instincts don't surface

Oh, come on, where's your party spirit? Shouldn't you be telling us how exciting, brilliant and inspiring this is going to be? ;)

However, there are lots of potential pitfalls. It is a bit of a gamble, to be honest.

Sorry rebel, but I hardly think that BB will provide a platform to draw people's attention to the Socialist alternative to Labour.

Still, it'll be entertaining, fun, cringeworthy to watch...don't get me wrong I think Galloway is a great asset to the cause, and RESPECT is a most significant development. None of which stops BB from being utter shite as a concept and Galloway's appearance to be little other than an amusing embarrassment. I will of course watch it religiously.

Rebel's already done that:

Idea for another reality show. I'm an urbanite, get me out of here.

I was aware of his shite attendance record, and I was thinking about that when I posted the post you quoted ....

I spose I was also thinking that he'd hardly be stupid enough to want to be a hostage to fortune and confirm his lazy reputation (he MUST be aware of it?) to his own constituents??

OR WOULD HE??? :p

He seems to consider parliament a waste of space, so might not care what people think about his relationship to it.

He can also make the argument that by using the media (e.g. congressional hearings etc) he gets his message out to a wider audience than in parliament. (Not that should satisfy his constituents though)
 
"Eleven housemates will enter the house. Only ten of them are celebrities."

Is one of them Gorgeous George?

Everytime he does that he digs himself a bigger hole.

Something to debate at this weekend's conference? I think the party could split over this. :D

I think we'll have a clear majority on this one...but we have more iomportant things to discuss than BB! It's one for the coffee breaks methinks.

Is that the sound of nails scratching down a blackboard?

No, it's Chantelle's fucking dreadful voice.
