Socialist TV, by George:

George Galloway wants Venezuela to sponsor a web TV station which will broadcast political satire and speeches by President Hugo Chávez from the Respect MP's home in London. The political firebrand, below, hopes to visit Caracas next month to request funding and technical support for the venture. "I'm definitely headed that way," he told the Guardian. "I want to talk to the Veneuzuelans about television."

Mr Galloway, 52, also known as Gorgeous George for his suntan and cigars, said he would host his own version of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the Emmy-winning US satirical programme. The MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, who was expelled from the Labour party in 2003 after outspoken opposition to the Iraq war, knows Adán Chávez, Venezuela's education minister, and shares the rhetorical skill and leftwing radicalism of his brother, the president.

The South American leader has launched Telesur, a pan-regional TV station intended to rival CNN, and hosts his own TV show, Alo Presidente, in which he interviews guests and gives monologues which can last more than four hours. Mr Galloway said his venture required modest resources but that it still needed technical support and content, such as tapes of Mr Chávez's speeches, to fill the time when he was not doing a Scottish socialist version of The Daily Show.

"The plan is pretty advanced but I need help to run the thing. It will probably be broadcast from my front room."

He needs help to setup a streaming net station? This could be interesting... maybe all these years that I've been learning that very thing could come in handy after all!

This would be a dream come true. Dear God, please make this happen.
