The only politician speaking sense was Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, who brought up the Gurkhas in one of his two questions to Gordie. Hazel Blears was a complete muppet and had not understanding on how strongly the public felt until later on in the show as the emails started to roll in. Needless to say she seeded the idea that they would have to look again!

I’m betting the politicians back down on this one in the weeks to come. Well they had better or I’ll be looking for a few cegs of gunpowder!
