Gorgeous George In Trouble - Again!

George Galloway MP (sometimes nicknamed "Gorgeous"), scourge of the Labour Party, Congress, the Daily Telegraph and evicted from the Big Brother house last night, is in trouble again.

This time there is video footage of him shaking hands with Saddam Hussein's son, Uday Hussein.

Uday was an alleged rapist, torturer and convicted murderer.

The video, obtained by The Sun, shows the Respect MP participating in a 20 minute meeting with Uday in an Iraqi palace in 1999.

In the video, Galloway is seen to greet Uday, shaking his hand twice and calling him "Excellency."

During his exchange with Uday he is reportedly seen to joke about losing weight, going bald and failing to give up smoking cigars.

Galloway, being a respecter of freedom of speech, then also orders watching journalists not to publish parts of their conversation.

Finally, according to the Sun, he taunts the US and vows to stick with Uday "until the end".

The video was allegedly shot for an Iraqi TV station, and was smuggled out of Iraq before the regime fell.
