Parliament aka a House of Bedlam.

 

Is what British politicians say a load of 'cock and bull'? That's what this show wants to find out. Nothing new, then come to the politician, birds of the same feathers flock together, even in Malaysia. Our own August House, Parliament is a House of Bedlam.

TO LISTEN TO a politician making a speech can sometimes be an exercise in trying to find a needle in a haystack. The needle is the point, the haystack is a load of words.
