I want to know what's happened to my tongue. It's not quite as painful as it was yesterday, though, so with any luck I'm over the worst of it.
Every word that came out of that man's mouth was appalling nonsense. The audience ended up making pantomime booing noises. He tried to defend phone hacking by saying that the electorate had a right to know what the people they might be voting into power were up to; Mitchell pointed out that a) politicians' private lives were largely irrelevant, and b) that really wasn't a defence one could use when tapping into the phones of, say, actors.
(A classic News of the World front-page headline, incidentally: F1 BOSS HAS SICK NAZI ORGY WITH 5 HOOKERS. I don't know about you, but I think this sounds exactly the place to go for cracking investigative journalism.)
