Morning All
I enjoyed Gogglebox very much last night. Among the heart-rending cancer appeal stories (nothing more to say), there was plenty for the politically engaged!
Of course Jeremy Corbyn was one of the "celebrity" viewers. Unsurprisingly he cam over as very normal. Then one of the clips was Michael Fabricant on celebrity First Date. My word! And then plenty of discussion of the sleaze in Parliament.
I've had suspicions before that Gogglebox is a bit to the left

That would indeed be newsworthy if it was the younger GB - however, its his dad.
Still interesting, though - he became quite friendly with the Clintons over time despite the very negative campaign the Republicans fought again Bill back in 1992.
(the 25th anniversary of that election was yesterday btw)
