"I mean, everyone knows we've been lying for years, but that's no reason to admit it. How I've got away with the 'pretty straight kind of guy' act for so long is a mystery.

"The first time I wheeled it out, over the Formula One fiasco, John Humphrys and I kept getting a fit of the giggles. We had to do three takes.

"Remember '24 hours to save the NHS'? That was a laugh. We've spent billions and the health service is still a complete shambles....

I read this & the "laugh or cry" dilemma really kicked in!

Yes. Too close to home!

I would love to be a fly on the wall in Number 10! Imagine the things you would hear.

Perhaps our military need to take a lesson from Thailand and launch a military coup. That would be exciting :-)

Why do you think they have been under-investing in the military? When we have troops who run out of ammunition in the middle of a battle they can hardly come to the aid of our country, or what is left of it. It's a pity no one can lay siege to our state broadcaster.
