Thanks to the Tory Party in England for providing a bit of much needed light relief today, with their election of Mr ID Smith.

I notice that none of the terrestrial TV channels even bothered to carry it live. One channel had the Weakest Link instead, which figures.

I don't think posting this counts as controversial does it? I'm not prejudiced. If I had to have a party leader living next door, I'd probably prefer Mr Smith to Mr Blair. (But I'd much sooner have Ken Livingstone, and I'd bore him rigid going on about Public Entertainment Licences, and the right to sing.)
