TB’s last words 27 June, 2007

Mr. Speaker, if I may just finish with two brief remarksâ€â€first to the House. I have never pretended to be a great House of Commons man, but I pay the House the greatest compliment I can by saying that, from first to last, I never stopped fearing it. The tingling apprehension that I felt at three minutes to 12 today I felt as much 10 years ago, and every bit as acute. It is in that fear that the respect is contained.
The second thing that I would like to say is about politics and to all my colleagues from different political parties. Some may belittle politics but we who are engaged in it know that it is where people stand tall. Although I know that it has many harsh contentions, it is still the arena that sets the heart beating a little faster. If it is, on occasions, the place of low skulduggery, it is more often the place for the pursuit of noble causes. I wish everyone, friend or foe, well. That is that. The end.
It’s really fun to imagine Bush & Cheney doing this 18 April, 2007

More really good political video from Britain (but you have to watch to the end):
But don’t you think it makes it look a little like the labour government has just a little too much time on their hands? (That’s the cabinet sitting around that table answering phones.)

People outside Britain will need some background on the Catherine Tate Show.
