George Galloway

What is everyones take on him?

My take on him is he has came on the show to slate Blair going to war and to get the anti war message across to the public. We have already heard him shouting stop the war or something along those lines on his walk in.

I have respect for him as he stood up to the us senate but he seems a nutter. I have read various articles about him on the web and pretty confused about who this guy actually is. He is an Mp he made that clear from the start but anyone know much about his party and history?

One story which hasnt been proven either way is http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,11069-1841396,00.html

Mr Galloway “knowingly made false or misleading statements under oath” at the Senate committee in May

At the moment he seems fine, i dont know too much about him at all to be honest, hes settled in well though and seems to be getting along with all the other housemates.

It's all covered in the Wikipedia entry about him, as are the allegations you've mentioned. LINK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Galloway).
