What's New Pussycat?
George Galloway (GG) announced earlier this week that he intends to stand for a Glasgow list seat - in the forthcoming May elections to the Scottish Parliament.
George was predictably rude about the present intake of MSPs at his press conference - calling them 'Stumblebums' amongst other things - with his typically lurid language and fondness for purple prose.
Now I'm all for a bit more colour in the Scottish Parliament - and presumably GG and his Respect party think are up to the task - as do the Scottish Socialists, Solidarity, etc etc.
But electing a candidate from the Monster Raving Loony Party - would also inject some extra spice into parliamentary proceedings - though to what purpose is another thing.
George's greatest claim to fame comes down to his crazy pussycat antics with Rula Lenska on Celebrity Big Brother - which completely ruined his credibility in many people's eyes.

So what it comes down to - as I said in my previous post dated 2 December 2010 (Fishes and Bicycles) is that while George might need Holyrood - but Holyrood doesn't need George.
