Martin Bell tells it like it is. Beau Bo d'Or saves us from our rage by making us laugh about it (click to enlarge). It's not just Labour though.

I suspect we are seeing so many apparently stupid and reckless cases now, because they know they are done for and feel they may as well be hanged for sheep as lambs.
