Record type: Article. Restricted to Repository staff only. More information e-pub ahead of print date: 16 September She's right, it is okay. Everything is okay. It's fucking perturbing on a staggering level, but it's still okay, technically. The vomit threat goes from substantial to critical in this next scene, where the genius Celebrity Big Brother production team cut to a wide angle shot.

We can see that George is hunched over on the couch, while Rula is relegated to the floor. Truly, who is the cat now? Still George, but Rula is really leaning into it. She continues to whisper with a sultry tone, "Don't be frightened", and it's hard to tell whether she's addressing the viewer, herself, the unfortunate souls behind the cameras, or George. The body language between the two is positively feral. Rula is smashing the task, bringing herself to a catlike state so as to put George, a current cat, at ease.

The whole thing is overwhelmingly sexual. It didn't need to be, there is no logical reason to explain why it is, it just simply is sexual. The whispering doesn't help, nor does the prolonged eye contact and body language between the two.

In this very moment, it kind of seems like they are about to ravage each other, passionately speaking. Rula leans over to stroke George Galloway's face as he lays it upon the sofa. Everything feels unclean at this present moment, like you need to wash your hands, entire body and eye sockets with a specially-formulated eye bath after seeing what's unfolding.

A politician is pretending to be a cat while the woman from the VO5 Hairspray ad assumes the role of his owner who has a low grade sexual fascination with him, and the nauseating colour of the couch isn't helping matters. Truly committing to the role, George attempts to lick Rula's hand, but realises that his tongue simply doesn't stretch far enough, as he is a cat. The average length of a cat's tongue is deceptively long, but George is scaling it down to proportion with his large human body.

His commitment to the role cannot be slandered. This is a master at work. Rula comforts George both as a cat and as a celebrity who is taking part in a reality television series because nobody ever agrees to go on Celebrity Big Brother when they're in a good place, career-wise. At this point, Rula brings a new element to their improvised performance. She scurries across the floor to open an imaginary bottle of milk, then decants it into an imaginary bowl, being careful not to spill it all over the carpet because milk-stained carpets smell like hell on earth.

He became leader of The Respect Party in , and stood for the party in the London mayoral election in , coming seventh with 1.

Galloway failed in his bid to be elected as an independent candidate in Manchester Gorton in and West Bromwhich East in Galloway has been a long-time supporter of Sinn Fein and Irish unification, which came from his mother, Sheila, who is of Irish descent.

Despite his stance on a united Ireland, he is a Unionist when it comes to Great Britain, and does not support Scottish independence, though he has called for greater devolution.

Ahead of the referendum, Galloway represented the case for a No vote alongside Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson at the televised Scotland Decides debate. Galloway's anti-indy views have never been clearer than right now, as he promotes tactical voting among pro-UK parties to try and take seats from the SNP in May's elections. He also launched a petition calling for Nicola Sturgeon to resign , claiming the FM and her government were "utterly incapable of working for the best interests of the Scottish people".

Galloway opposed the Gulf War and in he visited Iraq and met with Saddam Hussein, and was shown on TV telling him: "Sir, I salute your courage, your strength, your indefatigability. He was dubbed the 'MP for Baghdad North' and was reprimanded by the Labour whip for the unauthorised trip. Galloway has described himself as a supporter of the Iraqi people, rather than Hussein himself. Though in , he returned to Iraq and met the dictator a second time.

During the second Iraq War, Galloway said the British forces "attacked Iraq like wolves" and called on troops to "refuse to obey illegal orders". Prime Minister Tony Blair said the MP's comments were "disgraceful and wrong" - and was expelled from Labour for "bringing the party into disrepute". Galloway also holds pro-Palestine views and supported Dundee City Council flying the Palestinian flag from their city chambers, and was involved in twinning the Tayside city with the West Bank town of Nablus in In , he was given a Palestinian passport by Ismail Haniya, leader of Hamas - which has been designated as a terrorist organisation by the European Union.

Tottenham Hotspur accused Galloway of "blatant antisemitism" in , following their loss to Liverpool in the Champions League final. After the match, he tweeted: "No Israel flags on the Cup! He tweeted that his support for Farage was for "one time only". Backing the far-right leader hasn't been his only flip-flop in recent years, however, given his recent attempts to work with the Scottish Tories. His shock announcement last month that he would be voting Conservative in the upcoming Scottish election in a bid to oust the SNP was met with criticism from those who recalled his Labour routes and past statements.

Many people shared a quote from Galloway in , where he asked someone to "please shoot him" if he was ever seen "under a Union Jack shoulder-to-shoulder with a Conservative. In , he tweeted that he could "never support any Tory" - and two years later, he said the he could "never coalesce with Tories".

He spent three weeks in the reality TV house and was best known for impersonating a cat and pretending to lick milk from the cupped hands of fellow housemate Rula Lenska. Another iconic image from his stint on CBB was him performing the robot dance move beside Pete Burns while wearing a tight, red leotard with a plunging neckline.

Galloway's cat impression unsurprisingly featured in Big Brother's Best Shows Ever, which aired last year. The bizarre roleplay began with Galloway purring: "Now would you like me to be the cat?
