David Maddox: By George not another one!

I have just been told that "Gorgeous" George Galloway, the Scottish exile and Respect MP for Bethnal Green, is intending to run in the election for Rector of Edinburgh University.
You can read about the ins and outs of Rectoral race in tomorrow's Scotsman, needless to say it's going to be an exciting one this year.
But some Labour sources are suggesting that their former colleague may be using this university election as a launching pad for going for a Scottish seat after promising to retire as MP for Bethnal Green following his ill-judged Celebrity Big Brother antics.
It has to be said that one of his opponents for Rector is his old colleague the almost equally flambuoyant (by Scottish Parliament standards) Lord George Foulkes, Baron of Cumnock and Labour MSP for the Lothians.
This has led to some mischevious speculation that with a nod to George III, a collection Georges must be a "madness."
One thing is certain though, in terms of winners, to paraphrase the film Highlander, there can only be one and it might not even be somebody called George.
