Anyway the reason for this unprecedented outpouring of unread illiteracy is one of my favourite people in all the world: the Senator of Sad himself, Mr Richard Madeley.
Following a corker of a gaffe the other day (I couldn't find a clip sadly, but it involved a discussion about Princess Diana's memorial service and an analogy about speeding into a brick wall - priceless), today Madeley turned his not inconsiderable rage against a young protester who had come on the programme to talk about some demonstration or other he and his group were planning at an airport over the weekend.
Now, if there's anything that'll raise the heckles of ever-youthful yet curiously-hued Mr Madeley it's:
- Polit-it-caaaarl cowectness gorn maaaaad
- The staff in the control room not putting a picture up quick enough
- Airports.
or
Namely, having to hang around in them, something Richard would seem to do fairly often having - it would appear - about 17 holidays a year.
The protest is apparently over the proposed expansion of Heathrow, and this lad and some other woman from the Green Party came in for an almost Paxman-esque interrogation from Madeley and his hired tabloid hand (in this case that bloke with the greasy hair from the Mirror), and yet all the while I kept thinking about that time they had Tony Blair on, and from what I recall the interview went something like this:
MADELEY: "So that Iraq war then. What's all that about?"
BLAIR: "Well, you know..."
MADELEY: "Oh, never mind that. Do you want to play You Say We Pay?"
