Politicians seem to have come over all self-righteous and moralistic of late. Rather than spending their time doing something useful and saving us from th excesses of government, they appear to be at home watching TV.

They spouted off about Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross saying some less-than-polite things, telling us things which we can think of for ourselves, if so inclined. It’s just so that they can get their face on TV.

Now a Labour MP is calling for Jeremy Clarkson’s job after he made a joke on Top Gear about lorry drivers:

Change gear, change gear, check mirror, murder a prostitute, change gear, change gear, murder. That’s a lot of effort in a day.

Hardly a “dismissible offence”, but the kind of humour you expect if you watch Top Gear and have any experience of Jeremy Clarkson.

Since when have politicians become the guardians of our morality?!
