Ed Miliband:

"A generation will remember him fondly from Blackbusters."

RIP Bob Holness. At least he slipped away in his sleep at a good age.

He is not rescuable (Milliband, although I doubt much can be done for Bob Holness either now).

I hope, for Ed’s sake, all the members of the Goon Show are dead.

I began to feel sorry for Ed there, then I remembered he's a Socialist.

It's just a small indication of the havoc which would be caused if these politicos were ever allowed out without their shoals of advisors, minders and spin doctors.
