Controversial British MP George Galloway is at the centre of a new row.
The politician, who famously attacked the war in Iraq before the US Senate last year, is taking part in the reality television show Celebrity Big Brother, for which he is locked in a camera-filled house with, among others, a glamour model, former basketball player Dennis Rodman, and a singer called Maggot.
Some of his London constituents are not happy. One in particular has set up his own website, called "Why Isn't He At Work?" ( http://beta.cergis.com/george),which he says has received over 25,000 hits since it was set up on Friday.
"I just felt he was supposed to be representing us in the House of Commons . . . and not in the Big Brother house," the site designer Paul Skinner said.
"He's obviously publicising himself, not his constituents and their issues."
Jim Fitzpatrick, a London MP, accused Galloway of being a "C-list politician with an A-list ego" who had chosen a "celebrity graveyard" over his constituents.
In his defence, Mr Galloway and his Respect party said his time in the Big Brother house - where he cannot speak to anyone outside or hear any external news - will allow him to get his message across to a huge viewing public.
"I will talk about war and peace, about [George] Bush and Blair, about the need for a world based on respect," Mr Galloway said in a statement on his website ( www.respectcoalition.org). "Some of it will get through."
