Blair recounting that, after he punched the guy with a mullet, they had to call a press conference and all he said was "Well, John is John!" and that was that. Can only imagine how swift and brutal the condemnation would be these days, he'd have been out on his arse by the time his fist was unclenched.

I thought that Blair handled this situation very well; it was just before the election, too. Should there be more politicians from an actual working-class background. Not people like Farage, who hides his very privileged background.

Where are Chumbawamba now?

I know. The protester left his left side totally unguarded. Prezza could easily have got a good right hook to the jaw. Instead he let the bloke push him back onto that wall where he ceded the advantage.

He may have seen his political career and New Labour's chances of winning the election flash before him?

'I have changed. I no longer keep the coal in the bath. I keep it in the bidet' - When he announced that he had joined the middle classes.

He was quite the humourist.

At the risk of sounding a bitter and twisted old git, he was a cut above the current crop of Labour frontbenchers.
