Well, at least we know now how to deter anyone wishing harm on the country – unless they are a member of the cabinet of course.

It’s all tinky winky’s fault. We went to see the very pregnant Palmers at the weekend. Whilst we were there tinky winky (or Tim as he is sometimes known) whipped out his camera and took a few snaps of the boy wonder. He then put them on his website and sent me an email that …
