Your favourite historian spent his working life issuing apologising to famous people for writing lies about them in the newspaper he edited. Many others spent their working lives in the commons chamber debating amendments to fruit labelling bills.

Talking of politics. I notice one of your UKIP politicians has said the recent floods are because we turned our backs on God and introduced gay marriage. I'm sure he researched it better than I could. After all, he's both a Christian and a politician. A dangerous fucker in both senses to be fair, but hey! We can't argue with experts eh?
