Because I'm proud of my brother.

On the BBC? Yep. So what if it's a blurry screen, it's more intriguing.


"This is the summer of our discontent

Made virtuous fury by the sins of Minster; In the pubs and workplaces old angers have new vent, As we find those whom we elected to represent - At best careless, at worst bent.

This is a Britain where Banker's O/Ds are open-ended And child poverty viewed an acceptable price to pay; Where massive payouts are stoutly defended, And we're told the gloom is here to stay.

This is a country that is feeling ill at ease, A land of the blind where a one-eyed man could be king; Where the solutions are found while shooting the breeze, Where we catch it, bin it, and kill as we sneeze. "
-Nigel Pounds, Reading
