Somewhere, Harry Thompson is laughing*

Iain Dale's Diary:

Question Time Replaces Woolas With Tub of Lard

Iain Dale 12:21 PM


Remember yesterday's POST when I suggested Question Time should replace Phil Woolas with a tub of lard? Well, they've gone one better and booked Roy Hattersley. ROFL.*

I understand the Labour Party tried to replace Woolas with Tony McNulty, who Woolas replaced at the Home Office (with me so far?) but Question Time made clear that it would be them who decided who appears rather than the Labour Party.

*For those who wonder why this is so amusing, Roy Hattersley kept cancelling appearances on HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU. After the third cancellation at the last minute, instead of booking a replacement, they placed a tub of lard on the desk next to Paul Merton. It proved to be one of the funniest ever episodes.


*The late Harry Thompson was the man who came up with the tub of lard idea.
