Hunt the MP
The Guardian this morning illustrates perfectly my point about George Galloway having a job to do. Their journalist poses as a constituent in need and tries to get help from his MP. Alas, all his attempts to secure assistance fails. Meanwhile, Channel 4 makes it clear that George will not be able to use his incarceration to make any political point.
All of this leaves us asking the question: "What is the point of George Galloway?". If he did not exist would it be necessary to re-invent him? The answer to both questions are negatives. Still, he will get the personal publicity he seeks, so it is not a completely wasted exercise for him.
