I wonder how much this ex minister got paid for this .....

Labour former defence minister and architect of at least one failed coup to depose Gormless Gordon, "Helicopter Free" Hoon appeared on BBC Radio Four last night in an "entertainment" programme called "Devils Advocate" where the stars of the show have to stand up and formally debate a motion to which their beliefs are utterly opposed.

Hoon was speaking FOR the motion "that this house believes the only way to combat terrorism was go go about ignoring it in our daily lives"

The BBC of course considered this an absolute hoot given that this was the man who gave us the condition in which we now live, a police state where our every move is watched for our own good ..........

Oh what magnificently short memories these people have.

In the days after the home grown islamist bombings on our tube stations Hoon and Blair were BOTH going round London urging people to "keep calm and carry on", bringing the message that it was of the utmost importance that we the British People did exactly what was advocated in this "motion", that we do indeed adopt the principle that unless we ignore the threat of terrorism in our daily lives by continuing to offer ourselves as bomb fodder, the terrorists had won.

And having delivered the message to the unsuspecting duped public, they hopped back into their bulletproof bombproof RPG proof ministerial limmos with their armed response vehicle escort and went on the the next location to dupe some more.

I don't know if the lefty luvvies behind Radio 4's editorial board were so thick they didn't know this, so selectively amnesiac they ignored it, or so callous that they knew all about it and considered the double nature of this particular stunt a singularly splendid wheeze.

As for me, I'm off to throw up.
