| Hilary Benn | |
Labour MP Hilary Benn, Son of Tony Benn, wants the government to stop using the phrase "war on terror", and adopt "Soft power - a battle of ideas and values". This is good news for those studying genetics, as it proves conclusively that insanity is hereditary. | |

Assuming it's actually his idea, bearing in mind he is a minister in the current government. | |

I hate the phrase "war on terror". "War for oil" would be more accurate | |

Maybe Tony Benn's thinking was along the lines of the Johnny Cash song, "Boy Named Sue", so that by giving him a girl's name, it'd toughen him up. | |
