This country gets more loopy by the day. Why is it I get the feeling there is government funding driving this initiative and someone is anxious to get their hands on it.

Does anyone seriously believe the PM and his grovelling toadies are still doing their afternoon exercises all ponced up in their expensive sports gear.
