Eviction threat in "respect" plan
The BBC News headline "Eviction threat in "respect" plan" struck me as damn ironic, the article is really about evicting home owners for being a nuisance. Something Blair is proposing as part of his "respect" agenda.
But the headline (unwittingly?) was also making a dig at George Galloway's time in the Celebrity Big Brother house. I see his entrance to the house as little more than an attempt to gain support for his Respect party and a chance to spread Respect ideals to the general public. After all think about why the other celebrities are there, it's little more than a chance to kickstart their career.
Maybe I'm just being cynical I thought to myself, and then today I was reading the BBC article about Galloway's disgust at sex talk in the house and this paragraph jumped out...
OK, if getting Galloway's views on Iraq was not one of the prime factors for him agreeing to go into the house, why are Respect angry that they aren't being shown? It indicates, if not proves, that Respect want to use Big Brother as a soapbox for Galloway. Now in my opinion it's unacceptable for an MP to completely ignore their constituency and skip Common's debates/votes so they can spread propaganda for their party.
But Galloway's up for the public vote, there's an eviction threat for Respect's plan.

Respect claims Mr Galloway's discussions with housemates about the Iraq war and other political issues had not been shown.
A spokesman said the party would be sending a letter of complaint to broadcaster Channel 4.
