PICTURE IMPERFECT
According to the Guardian, this picture (by Darren Coffield) has been refused entry to the National Portrait Gallery. Also, according to them Galloway is claiming there was a "conspiracy" to stop it being shown. I think we all know Galloway's position on conpiracies, so it will be interesting to see if there's any mention of this at the weekend...

| Is it just me, or does the expression on his face look like he's just discovered something in his suit pocket that he didn't want to find?

Why is there a cut-out cowboy pointing a revolver at GG's privates? Bizarre indeed.
If I were him, I don't think I'd want this portrait on public display.

i read about this last week, those two cut outs are supposed to be bush and blair, or represent them at least - i remember the artist saying that he also thought something was up - its not just galloway ... he'll have to get david icke on his show to get to the bottom of this

Good observation, Kate. I hadn't noticed that.
In retrospect, it's an interesting statement. But I would've thought the cowboy's horse would've been more apt for Blair than a brave. Rosinante (sp?) comes to mind...

Absolutely, major.tom!
Does anyone know who the bust is supposed to be of? I'm sure it's relevant.

He appears to be wearing robes, so I would guess a Roman emperor. (Nero?)
btw, I just noticed another face (right-side up) in the Brave. You all probably saw this eons ago, but in case not...

The bust is of Charles James Fox - the great radical parliamentarian

Well that makes sense. I thought it might be someone like that.

| He came up in the Hitchens debate, George said that he was right to support American independance even though America was now run by incompetent criminals
