Gorgeous George
We have our share of radio shock jocks in this country.
Some of them even host blogs.
They are almost exclusively of Right wing persuasion.
This is not the case in Blighty. Over there, there is a show hosted by George Galloway, one of the most articulate commentators you're ever likely to hear.
He's an ex-amateur footballer, lifetime teetotaller, and the Canadians don't like him. The third of these by itself makes him noteworthy.
He has his own political party "Respect" and is renowned for making fools of sundry US Senators when they got stuck into him about Oil for Food back when Bush was in the White House.
Even if you don't listen to the radio grab right through, make sure you link to his senate evidence above.
It's great entertainment.
