To avoid accusations of predictability, I'm not going to rant about the search for someone to play Jade Goody in a stage show - it's beyond parody anyway - or that Father Ted's Mrs Doyle has had a shave after finding success on Britain's Got Talent.
I make no apology however for having another go at the Home Office. Why the hell, after months of deliberation, has this department betrayed retired Gurkhas by not allowing them residency? The Home Office has proved itself singularly ineffective in policing the borders or in evicting illegals or undesirables, but now refuses to allow brave men who have fought for us to stay.
It's appalling that more people - and more media outlets - haven't joined national treasure Joanna Lumley in demanding fair treatment for them. The only way I can see them getting justice any time soon is June next year when we can finally decide whether or not we want to keep this administration.
