    Even sillier is David Cameron, who insists on supporting him.

      Silly Hunt indeed

      The Prime Minister's chief of staff Ed Llewellyn received the warning on the very day Culture Secretary Mr Hunt was appointed to replace the Business Secretary Vince Cable.

            Excellent! I know this is on tv, but does anyone know whether it's live on radio? I have a longish car journey on monday, and it could enliven the journey.

              Has any valued member here the slightest clue as to how many years this ridiculous and expensive farce of a thoroughly useless Inquiry is likely to last ... ?

                Which one's that, scotty?

                The excellent Leveson Inquiry has some way to go, I'd say

                Ask "Where's My Child?" - I mean "Call Me Dave" - he set it up

                    The better part of a good few, I suspect.

                    Anyway, look on the bright side. It won't be a complete waste of time and money if the enquiry gets a few people sacked or jailed.

                            According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

                                yep, both spot on! thanks calum da jazbo - easy to miss..... but speak volumes, and with just a few squiggles.

                                i (still) can't get used to 'the torygraph''s ambivalence as regards macaroon. whereas curiously 'the times' superficially seems to excuse all sorts from the coalition. (perhaps i'm reading it upside down)? peter brooks's tedious clegg bashing cartoons, and other recurring themes...very old school, much more complexly drawn, often in glorious colour....but not really laugh out loud funny, they usually miss the mark imo. (according to my idea of comedy at least)

                                unlike the sheer reliability of thoroughly modern steve bell. ..........and stylistic 'traditionalist' matt respectively. the latter's andy cap style really suits the macaroon family the portrayal of macaroon's daughter plus the cartoon punchline work together superbly! 5 (not to mention context, and the sheer irony of posts (elsewhere) about eric pickles's 'casual old school talk' re 'cracking brooms' on contemporary families eh....high time there were a few pointed cartoons of a pickle flavour made available, from the drawer marked 'laughing stock')!?
