New Defence Secretary -Reshuffle
Gentleman Aviator
Does anybody remember Arfur Bottomley, the Old Labour incumbent who fell asleep while watching the end of empire parade in Aden?
Bottomley was the one who commented on the weather in Gan (13 months unaccompanied for the newer chaps) saying: "Eeh but the wives and kiddies must love it here!"

I note that our glorious new leader got a rousing raspberry from the press following his first effort in the Commons.
The Telegraph reckons that Brown's new officer needed more training whilst The Times (or it may have been the Independent) rates him as a possible secret weapon for the MOD. He could bore our enemies to death!
