Endemol is renound for advertising Murdoch publications during ad breaks, and using Russell Brand's pretend leftie credentials to discredit Left Wing views for mass audiences.
I think that Tommy Sheridan, as ex Militant, will feel right at home.
Many people on this site have shown that they have extremely bad memories in the past, but I haven't.
I know, thankfully not personally, Mr Sheridan of old. The fact that he threatened to grass up Poll Tax rioters to further his own political ends isn't quite so endeering to me, and I hope that this bastard opportunist is struck down before he is given the opportunity to humiliate the left, as Galloway purposefeully did in exchange for his own lucrative job on radio.

What would you do with all the cash though?Cobbles said:
Personally I would spend it on shagging loads of oppressed prostitutes, brag about it, then deny everything. Just after I'd started my own defunct party, generating loads of cash, but not getting anywhere, because I haven't got enough cash to employ professional people. Solidarity all the way peeps.

Let's be fair. At least Hatton showed himself as a turncoat scumbag later on, and only pretended to be the voice of the people for a short period in his life. Mr Sheridan has shamelessly tried to fool his exmilitant, and Scottish voters for far too long.treelover said:

I think you'll find this story is complete bullshit - given away by the fact that it's in The Scotsman

I was gonna say that if Trotsky was alive today he'd be disgusted but to be honest it's more likely that Trotsky would have been on Celeb BB and Pop Idol by now!

...come Sunday morning at 10am, Talk 107's 20,000 or so loyal listeners may well find themselves tuning into silence instead of the station's newest and, arguably, most controversial, presenter.
The show - Sunday Morning with Citizen Tommy - will hardly be his first foray into public speaking, but it is breaking new ground for Scotland's best-known modern-day Marxist.
It comes at a time when he might be expected to be channelling his energies into moulding Solidarity, the political party launched after that infamous summer defamation hearing in which he fought to clear his name amid sex scandal allegations. Could this be his way of laying the foundations for a career outwith politics?
And after the bizarre twists and turns of the defamation case - from alleged sexual antics to the amount of hair growing on his back and Tommy's curious allegations that he's a victim of M15 spooks - are the political firebrand's speeches now in danger of being drowned out by the sounds of stifled giggles?

Listen live to Sunday Morning with Citizen Tommy on Talk 107 from 10am until 1pm, from this Sunday.
George Galloway is on the same station (the mother of all talk shows) every Saturday and Sunday night between 8.00pm and 10.00pm.
You can also hear Scottie McClue, if you want.

Since he already gets a salary/'living wage' as an MSP, will he be handing his fee to Solidarity?
It says he denies being approached to appear on CBB and probably wouldn't do it, for those of you who can't stomach reading the whole article.

Well he's clearly thunk long and hard about it, but Tommy Sheridan has made up his mind. He was offered £100,000 by Big Brother, but he's made a principled political decision not to take part.
"This decision is not about low-brow TV, because my wife Gail is addicted to Big Brother," said Mr Sheridan.
"Nor do I mind being ridiculed for charity. It's simply a political decision made on the basis of not getting a guarantee about whether my political views would be screened.

That'll be a first!
Maybe he'd have shown a bit more political principle if he used it to replace the money he took from the wages of the parliamentary workers.

Dunno about that, but today's Record goes into a bit more detail.Fisher_Gate said:
The former Scottish Socialist Party leader said yesterday they had offered a "six-figure" sum and repeatedly raised their offer to tempt him. But he revealed: "I'm definitely not doing Celebrity Big Brother. They made a very generous offer but there were no guarantees of communicating my political ideas. Therefore, it was not right at this time." Sheridan was approached by the makers of the hit show four weeks ago. He said: "At first, I ruled it out completely. But they kept coming back upping the offer."
I note that in the Record he's quoted as saying -"This is not a decision on principle but, on balance, it's not right now."
which I find rather interesting. If the time and circumstances were different he's jump at it.Fisher_Gate

Anyway, I'm glad he's not going on it; I like CBB.

"All I'd say is, you can't believe everything you read about Tommy Sheridan."
