xxp I concur but the takedown is great and it’s so nice to see an audience member that’s not a red-faced fash.

Ah good point, most of the traditional Bufton Tufton numbskulls are just perennial backbench fodder but Hunt, oh yeah, he's a contender

Very old popbitch anecdote about him:


"I was working in London during the 9/11 bombings.
My colleagues, concerned about the breaking news,
had the radio on in the background. Our boss
promptly came in and told us to turn the radio
off and get back to work. In fact, I do not
think I have ever met a man less interested
in art or other cultures.

Lo and behold, I turned on the TV recently and
there he was! Shadow Secretary of State for
Culture, Media and Sport, Jeremy Hunt."

I meant to say .. alleged - but there isn't much doubt that he's an absolute hunt.

Ignorance and hatred of culture is a standard qualifying requirement for Culture Sec I thought?
