I'm sure towards the end of the clip I can hear the muffled sound of David Miliband giggling into his espresso.

The strikes are not wrong of course, and having mutli-millionaires saying they are is rank hypocrisy that beggars belief. Some things don't change, and it looks like we are heading back to the bad old days of Tory excesses . . .

With Eric "Token Fat Working Class Tory who will never be accepted by the Old Etonians" Pickles helpfully pointing out to super-smooth Dave "That turd looks highly polished" Cameron that his benefits cap is about to turn 40,000 people out on the streets and stifle the building of badly-needed affordable homes, the fact the tories are destroying the NHS when they said they wouldn't, you'd hope that Mr. Ed has more ammo that he knows what to do with. Unfortunately it seems Ed is actually incapable of mounting any sort of broadside against the government.

In that respect, we get the politicians we deserve and I wonder how long people will put up with this assault on our society before they get fed up and start throwing bricks at coppers again.
