It is nothing but mass hysteria. The simple truth is, George would not hurt a fly - while everyone conveniently passes over other housemates' threats of violence, such as the shameful display by Maggot threatening to "do (George's) head in"..

Many people spoke of "doing someones' head in" but they weren't a 51 year old MP who prior to this episode had started to gain an awful lot of respect.

That's a fair point. I think Galloway's 'flaw-to-which-he-is-blind' is that he may - and this is a 'generous' interpretation admittedly - genuinely not realise that he often(?) 'wins' arguments less through his 'intellect' (of which he is proud) than through the 'force' of his 'style'. The House of Commons - and certain types of 'political culture' on 'both sides' - often values such 'bruisers'. Not that 'firebrand' politics is always necessarily a 'bad thing' though. Brilliant up against a load of Superpower politicians, a bit 'sledgehammer to crack a nut' to say the least when the conversation is a 'social' one with Jodie Marsh.
