THE DAILY DUNCAN



Well, another chap's done the right thing for us in Selly Oak, yesterday, laid down his life that his betters - me - might enjoy free gardening, jolly decent of him, even though he did take his time about it.

257 DEAD & Countless Maimed
But that's just so far.
LOOK IN EVERY DAY TO SEE HOW MANY MORE TROOPS HAVE DIED FOR ALAN'S WAY OF LIFE. IT'S A MAN'S LIFE IN THE ARMY, THAT'S WHY HE'S NOT IN IT.

But the main news is those bods falling out of the sky on fire but, you know, it's not as though they were serving on a very important select committee as some right honourable members do, Oh, several times a year without any thought for their own safety, now, is it. Have to keep a sense of proportion. Main thing is, those Kelly recommendations'll take years to come in, by which time we will have arranged something altogether more satisfactory, share options or something, in the banks, and bonuses, well, why not, we do deserve them. As that chap said in the Nimrod enquiry, business, that's what we should protect, servicemen are, in the scheme of things, ten a penny but if we want to continue to attract people of my quality into politics we have to make it worth my while.

Bob Ainsworth is finally, and deservedly, getting a kicking on the ITV news from a news anchor who, for once, isn't taking any nonsense.

More than he got, then, from University Challenge's Jeremy Paxman, on Newswank.
