Celebrity BB: Hungry George? POKED FUN AT: GeorgeThree girls dressed in cat masks pulled up at his home in Cheshire Street, east London, in a silver Saab convertible with Tom Jones's hit, What's New Pussycat?, blaring from the stereo. The stunt, organised by the Tower Hamlets branch of the Labour Party, was aimed at mocking the Respect MP's Big Brother antics, which saw him pretending to lap up milk from actress Rula Lenska's hand. The three "cats" then drove to the Respect headquarters in nearby Club Row to deliver 96 tins of Whiskas cat food. Mr Galloway's parliamentary assistant, Rob Hoveman, answered the door and asked: "What is this sad little stunt? Blair "From Mr Tony Blair, is it? You are all from the Labour Party. "He doesn't have any cats but I'm sure, if you take this to a cat's home, they will appreciate it." Half a dozen Labour Party members and local residents held up placards outside the Respect office. They showed the front page of the Evening Standard newspaper with the headline "No respect". They shouted that they wanted Mr Galloway to do his job and "represent the people that elected you". One member shouted: "The average wage here is £200 per week. You are a disgrace."
