<p>He laid aside his foolish pride, learned the truth from tears <strike>everyone</strike> he cried.</p>
<p>Of course, it&#8217;s another example of where a politician revises a bad decision and someone who wanted that outcome nevertheless mocks him, for doing a backflip, or a backpedal, or in this case a walkback, which is an artefact of an old software language. IT humour, hurghhh hurgh hurghhhh. Hilarious. POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT: UR DOING IT RONG. But I guess he just couldn&#8217;t resist coming out with something so side-splitting.</p>
<p>Helen looks very Amy Winehouse in this clip. Mess up that scary, scary beehive and apply the thick upswept kohl eye makeup and you&#8217;d have doppelgangers. The resemblance doesn&#8217;t end there, either. They&#8217;re both London girls from vaguely similar backgrounds and they both started performing very young, but while Amy&#8217;s crashing and burning, Helen only looks in danger of perishing from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwGGFo5FDew&#038;NR=1" target="_blank">wholesomeness</a>.</p>
<p>Never mind. The Clean Feed is dead: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXaIH2V0V-c" target="_blank">Let&#8217;s talk</a>, hep cats! Work that tweed jacket.<br /></p>
