Galloway - wrong again

I saw on BBC George Galloway repeating that old chestnut defending his decision to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house.

"More young people vote during Big Brother than in the general election. I hope they'll all be voting for me over the next few weeks."

I've blogged about it before and that myth was demolished by the BBC last May. Closing paragraph:

"But next time a politician appears on television claiming Big Brother is more popular than the general election among young voters, it is worth bearing in mind that they are almost certainly wrong."

Incidentally, if they vote for you this week, they'll be voting to evict. Don't you mean "I hope they'll all be voting for me, but not yet"
