I AM not alone in marvelling at the insulated bubble surrounding Westminster and the associated media corps, whipping themselves into a frenzy over yet another slip of the tongue from one or another obscure politicians.

Leaders criticised, challenges threatened and enquiries announced. Back in the real world it seems perfectly simple.

An email to all party members as follows: anyone heard to pronounce any form of racist rhetoric, whether it is in public or otherwise, will be expelled from the party. Job done.

I wonder if those involved realise how stupid they often make themselves look? Perhaps it is down to the rest of us who keep on electing idiots.
