IF THE only thing worse than being talked about is not to be talked about at all, George Galloway might, in Oscar Wilde’s opinion, have had something to smile about yesterday.

To continue the theme, Galloway has started libel proceedings against the Telegraph, a decision which may rank with Wilde's suing the Marquis of Queensbury for slander.

Wilde lost, even though Queensbury conceded that he knew the original slander, that Wilde was pretending to be homosexual, was false when he wrote it.

Wilde was 'pretending' to be a homosexual? He should have won that case. He was a homosexual, no pretense about it! *LOL*
