“Gorgeous” George Galloway this week offered to end the so-called “heavyweight deficit” at the Scottish Parliament in Holyrood, that he has identified, by tendering his own services.
The 56-year old, who represented a Glasgow constituency for 18 years as an MP, is standing on the city’s regional list in the May elections. Mr Galloway, a man who has always had an exceedingly high opinion of himself, called the current crop of Holyrood politicians – with the honourable exception of SNP leader Alex Salmond – “stumblebums who would think being called a non-entity was a compliment”.
The man whose career arguably never really recovered from his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother in which he impersonated a cat said, with all due modesty, he intends to bring “a touch of class” to Holyrood.
