Here they all are: the bungling politicians, bumbling liars and hypocrites, warmongers and whoremongers, grey men and lay men... Our heroes and villains, those we love, those we hate and those we love to hate: Prime Ministers past and present, David Gower, Prince Charles and Lester Piggott, British Telecom and Saddam Hussein, the BBC, EEC, IRA and SAS, the Chinese leadership and the England cricket team, and many, many more...
