Irish Greens urge Galloway to quit Big Brother

Big Brother star George Galloway is squandering his talents by remaining on the Channel 4 freak show and must get out now, Irish Greens claimed today.

Greens chairman John Gormley said the Respect MP is demeaning himself by behaving like a cat and arguing about cigars with fellow contestant Michael Barrymore.

The Dublin TD said: “Mr Galloway is a brilliant orator and campaigner but these talents are not on display on Big Brother.

“Galloway should cut his losses immediately and get out of this freak show.”

Mr Gormley also accused Mr Galloway of demeaning himself and discrediting the anti-war movement with his on-screen behaviour.

“In yesterday’s episode Mr Galloway argued with Mr Barrymore about the distribution of his cigars,” he continued.

“This follows a previous programme where the anti-war campaigner was asked to behave like a cat. How all of this is supposed to help the anti-war movement is beyond me.

“His discussions on the war have been censored and instead he has been shown engaging in petty intrigues with other housemates.

“As an experienced politician George should know that recorded shows hand the initiative to the editor.”

Mr Galloway has contributed enormously to the anti-war movement with his passion and conviction, Mr Gormley claimed.

“I believe he will regret his decision to participate in this awful programme,” he added.
