http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-117377 6/Gay-Tory-frontbencher-faces-police-probe-Mis s-Universe-death-threat-live-TV.html 'Have I got news' is a satirical show, where a certain amount of banter goes back and forward, across the two panels with the chairman in the middle.
So was this just a joke? I think one would be pretty narrow minded to think otherwise. One matter it does highlight however, is the fact that should our politicians be allowed to appear on this type of show?
It will make it into a pretty boring show if they have to be constantly on their guard just in case they say anything that might cause offence.
