| Georgie's got a brand new gig |
| 2012-09-02 |
| Anywhere-but-Bradford-West MP George Galloway's latest extra-parliamentary gig is a fortnightly show for the Lebanese TV channel al-Mayadeen, allegedly funded by Syria and Iran. According to the Register of Members' Interests, Galloway will earn £3,000 an episode -- or a yearly income of £78,000 -- on top of his MP's salary. The TV station will also cover the cost of regular trips to Lebanon to pre-record the programme. It would be most unfortunate if he had a sudden visa problem... Galloway, who represents Bradford West in the Commons, also presents a weekly slot on the Iranian state-owned media corporation Press TV but the job is currently unpaid. |
