You have to feel sympathy for budding satirists 
Ian Botham as trade envoy and prisoners bussed in to execute cows – yes, the UK has officially lost the plot
The headlines tonight: labour shortage sees prisoners bussed in to execute cows, and Lord Ian Botham named as Her Majesty’s trade envoy to Australia.
For those of us who have spent almost two decades yearning for a return of Chris Morris’s The Day Today, there is arguably some comfort in the fact that for a fair chunk of that time, the actual news has been doing a more than adequate job in its place. If you’re under the age of 30, there’s precious little chance you’ll be able to see the actual UK as what it really is these days, which is an extremely well crafted tribute to a cult TV show from 1994.

nah....he's alright actually, has done a lot of work for charity and fundraising in general and is a legendary sports man , i have met him a couple of times and he has been charming , i would imagine though that once he's partaken of a few libations he would give as good as he gets.
So did Jimmy Saville.

people tried to out jimmy saville back in the 80's and were pretty well silenced by the establishment , what has been made public knowledge subsequently is a huge smear on the fabric of 20th century England , are you putting beefy in the same boat as a kiddy fingering , prosthetic eye hoarding wierdo......surely not
oh look, a thumbs up from toady....
