So, welcome back George.
It was good to see that your exit from the BB house made the national news. With everything going on in the world you made the second story on the ITN News last night. What an accomplishment for you.
I don't know what it is but there is definitely something sleazey and opportunistic about this guy. I don't care whether or not he received money from Iraq during the oil for food era. I don't care who he sleeps with. What I care about is his duty to the electorate.
He is the worse MP for attendance and voting. He made a great show that he had voted more often in the Commons than the PM. Not anymore though.
This year has seen him tour the US and the UK to talk about himself and his role in world affairs. He has been in the BB House for over 2 weeks. His sole reason for being seems to be the search for publicity. A constant attempt to put himself in a good light and to listen to the plaudits from his followers.
The worst thing is that he seems, from what the news programmes and papers tell us, the support of his constituency. He was elected to represent them in Parliament. To stand up for their problems and to lobby government on their behalf.
As a Christian it is my firm belief that I need to stand up and make my voice heard for the pursuit of good in this world. Where there is evil we should be there to reveal it and fight it.
This is also what a good politician should do. They should be there to take a stand and fight for what their constituents expect and want. They are there to stop government abusing the electorate and to insure a just and equitable society. When they don't do this they should be hounded out of office.
He was elected on a one stance platform of Iraq. He chose his constituency well and gave them what they wanted to hear. Now he seems to have decided that his profile is more important than his stated belief.
Yes, the Labour party have cleverly used the press and TV to mount a campaign against him. They have mobilised their local party to create a daily protest outside his constituency office.
The greater damage that he has done is too independent political representation. If he does this what would other independents be like?
He told us that he was beginning of a campaign against party politics in the UK. A new alternative. For those who believed him, and there seem to be many around the country, he has let them down.
Maybe, as I always believed, he was only interested in lining George Galloway's pockets and sustaining his monumental ego.
