Without wishing to appear naive what has Alexi Sayle got to do with what is going on in the Middle East? Last time I saw him he was talking up the Philharmonic hotel. And Ringo should also not be included in the debate as he no longer lives in Liverpool. As for what is going on well it is all prime time viewing the festive show, remember the public execution of Saddam last year? Well back to work tomorrow, well college.
