Playing our tune

It is not just the phone-in hosts & doorstep canvassers who cannot get away from MP’s expenses. No programme is safe – Maggie Gee got in a dig on Start The Week, even David Jacobs apologised that one of the records from his usually politics-free programme was “That’s the Way the Money Goes” from the 1970s musical The Card

Every so often a pop song comes along at just the right moment – destined to be played everywhere & used by broadcasters as a sound track even to news reports

And so today we have Dizzy Rascal with Bonkers. Even I noticed that one. I look forward to a Times leader on the subject
