Amen

Despite all many say, and whatever such as me write, one fundamental is that almost all that has been dug to get us into this hole - PC legislation, 'old boys' club' pay & pension awards, 800k+ extra non-income-generating civil servant jobs, cannot be undone.

The bloated bureaucracy that is crushing Britain

Cosby & Hitler

Not often you'll see those together.

Which was the point, and actually another great example of the worst and best of our lives today.

Last night I was watching 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' on TV, and specifically the US version hosted by Drew Cary. Personally, though the performers are often the same, I find it one of those rare cases where the US version is better.

However there was an interesting scenario played out last night, not least because, as a pre-recorded broadcast, what transpired was left in.

The show comprises many ludicrous scenarios, and one cropped up based on 'unlikely pairings'.

From all the crowd calls, guess which the hosts selected... initially. Because almost immediately a man in a headset came over to whisper in his ear, and that option was dropped.

But what was wonderful was the rest of the show, where host and all performers managed to work a certain German gent with a mustache into almost every skit.

A PC balloon pricked, and a small bit of faith in the wit and spine of the performing community restored in showing how humour is the best way to skewer those who would try and oppress us. And just how daft the superficial notion of not talking about anything that 'we', or at least some feel uncomfortable with is.

The paper's worth

An initially positive story on about police being released to do the police job by having their paperwork reduced from an 18-page form to one sheet.

No real question as to why this previous bit of jobsworth box-ticking arrived, made no difference and has now gone, or who was responsible.
