"George Galloway won the Rochdale by-election. In the Nineties he visited Saddam Hussein and said this quote to him in a creepy, arse-licking way: 'Sir, I salute your courage, your strength, your indefatigability.' So I thought it was a good idea to have him saying the same thing to himself when he made his second political comeback. It's a great word, 'indefatigability'. He's an articulate guy with such a warped political outlook." - Peter Brookes
