Mr Chairperson.

Eric Pickles the 'unashamedly common' Yorkshireperson has a bit of a puff (sorry about that) in th'Observer.
Having run across him before, sadly not in a green hummer, I am not convinced he would be a particular benefit to Dave's new model army. That's their problem.

I see him as a minor figure in a flawed but unmissable Britcom, played by Richard Griffiths, who has generously allowed his curly locks to be shaved and a false pointy pate stuck on his bonce. Richard would be able to supply the character with the right level of, shifty, edginess leaving all sorts of questions unanswered.

What happened to the boodle?
Why are there so many, dead, bodies?
How did they die?
How can such an evil character have such an enigmatic smile?

Those were the days of British Film!
Eric you missed your vocation!
