Mind you, it was almost worth it for the Yes Minister moment on Radio 5 live on Monday where the government spokesperson was explaining that yes, they were probably going to declare a state of emergency, but that they were only doing it to get round EU law, so we shouldn't all panic about it.

And I don't see that any of it is going to stop central London being nuked by a 'suitcase bomb' in the next couple of years, the fear of which is almost inclining me to the 'sod right and wrong, what's going to work?' view.

I'll just point out that I am in favour of civil liberties over small danger of death. Despite what you may feel, this is not inconsistent with my support for the war against the Taleban, if you think about it.

Although you do have, I seem to recall, a very heavy suitcase.

I do. But Uranium and Plutonium are very light elements really, honest. Bit like Helium - have to keep 'em in balloons to stop 'em floating away.

It's so much easier to be witty when you have a straight man to bounce off, isn't it?

That's certainly why I keep slipping James the fivers. Otherwise he'd leave, he hates you all.

Who is this "straight" man you speak of? [casts eye 'round here]

Indeed not - I certainly haven't toted David's suitcase halfway across London. :o)
