Mr Burke - you have it in one.
You missed the point that the whole World's in the Cack up to it's nose hairs.
Politicians dunno what to do.

Especially if you're a failed QC with nothing left but to go into politics.
Beats worrying about the depression & keeps it off the front page of the Daily Sport.
There's no hope.
