Did anyone see "Question Time" the other night ?
Near the end of the programme, the case of "the lost CDs" was mentioned as an example of Government incompetence.
At which, a well-known expert on factual reporting - Mr Piers Morgan - proclaimed it was not "a Government problem", as it was "well known that it was the fault of two people in the post department..."
I'm not sure which is worse:
That the man could sit there and spout such drivel with a straight face...
Or that no-one in the studio was either willing or able to correct him...
