I know it is old news, but only just heard about George Osborne allegedly getting voice coaching to sound less posh and weedy from a radio show on Saturday that I just listened to as a podcast. If it is true (and the story is in the Daily Mail which immediately makes it a bit suspect) he should ask for his money back.
I heard him speak on the TV news just the other day. At the time I realised that I had not really heard him before, or maybe just never really paid attention. The thing is, while listening to him the voice really reminded me of someone and I couldn’t quite place it. Then it came to me – Piers Fletcher Dervish!
A reminder of the real thing in the form of a compilation of all Piers’ “oh dear” moments.

totally off topic, but what’s going on in Broadfield that two guys from North London should come all the way down to (ineptly) firebomb the Imperial?
Just curious.
No idea. It does seem like a long way to go.
