interesting comparison watching the news channels' coverage of the Home Affairs Cttee this afternoon ... Sky stayed with the plebgate hearings, BBC had talking heads sycophantically nodding outside the christening ceremony for the royal baby ..... the bbc is just tosh these days

I'm watching it live on Sky News. Keith Vaz is different class, he's like a terrier and is really earning his money. Currently he has those three policemen squirming.

Hodge to Fairhead "I reallly do think that you should consider your position and you should think about resigning and if not, I think the government should sack you."
Actually Fairhead indicated that she is and was in the wrong (tho grossly overpaid) job - a straight feed for a standup comic would be ideal - she saw nothing, heard nothing and apparently thought nothing - just wonder how she landed the job.

and not beat about the bush, you mean.

As Caitlin Moran said on Friday, re the woodpecker/weasel photo, some days you're the woodpecker and some days you're the weasel. Hodge in weasel mode today Woodpecker Fairhead - and the rest of them - words fail.

....certainly the words a gentleman such you might use here RT....I can think of a few though....

I wish that we had somebody that I could trust, in her role.

She has created a persona for herself, as people in public life often do. But as for someone that you might trust ... difficult …
